Nothing to say but the need to have Bapu's random post continue on even if he is in  Studio One Land ?

Not 100%. Still use CbB for specific tasks as well as Cubase, Mixbus 32C, Reaper et.al.

Done

Serial gone

Love the tune! Absolutely “killer” drum track. I realize the guitars are not “carrying” the tune, but I would bring the solo up. Deal breaker? No. Other than that little niggle, great mix Ed. Thumbs up for sure!

almost forget, cool vid

You spoke, we listened.

Done.

Bapu - Is that a contemporary strat?  I have one of those from '85. Lovely guitar.  For many years I played it with  SD hotrails in the bridge with a coil-tap. But it's now back to the original PU, just changed the pickguard to an ivory pearl (with matching knobs and PU covers). I took out the tuning lock screws at the headend and the microtuners on the trem. I couldn't get along with them.

I locked down the bridge (I'm not a trem guy). I'm okay with the micro tuners and the headstock lockdown setup. I once had the 1st or second generation MIDI pickup on the guitar but eventually ditched it.

I ordered a Fender Tele Neck, Fender Noiseless Pups, Fender Tuning Pegs and a Fender Mounting Plate. So it will be an almost Tele for under $600.

So how is it? 

It's not too bad, plays fairly nice.

Construction seems pretty solid. 

Haven't recorded it yet. So I haven't decided if new pups and neck are a mandatory change. Wondering if a real Tele neck will fit and mounting holes align properly. The existing tuning pegs look a lot like my '85 Strat.

When I composed  music in the 80s with  Voyetra's Sequencer Plus, I plugged in my 5.25" floppy (360K) and loaded up the software into RAM.  Then I took it out and put in another 360K floppy to save my data.   Of course Sequencer Plus was MIDI only.  All sound came from my synths and modules and effects came from hardware.  

But apparently, it still works today! 

I remember when I got my first computer with a 20 Mb hard drive.  Wow!  As my programs were kilobytes in size, and could be loaded in RAM, I didn't know what I could possibly do with all that data!  

Recovering VSPG User here too. That was my second sequencer. Which I first synced to my Tascam 80-8 (lost a track I did). Then later on synced to my ADAT controller and 3 blackface ADATs.

Then I moved on to Cakewalk ITB.

To this day I cannot remember the name of the first sequencer which was some one off company that went belly up two years later. Had a dongle. 

I said "Fudge It!" and used my $16 JamPointz to get it for $48.99USD.

Case solved.

Nice price on the Leslie.

 

I saw that too. I'm wondering what's the difference between T-Racks Leslie and Ampitube Leslie?

I have the T-Racks Version. Will the Amplitube version get me more of what I don't have?

Using @chuckebaby's shoe analogy. I have more than one pair of shoes.

I have legit licenses for 7 of the 12 DAWs listed and 2 that are not (Digital Performer 10 and Mixbus 32C). I don't own #1, 3, 7, 9, or 12. And likely never will.

Like shoes, some  sit in the closet for long stretches while others are for used for certain tasks (collabs) and one or two are for daily use.

But one is for sure the most comfortable for my current workflow.

BJZ is:

Nattmara 
(c) 2020 BJZ

Verse 1:
As a child I never really knew any fear
The days were long and the night was a welcome
My dreams were filled with laughter and cheer
I grew older and the night was dark and frightsome
Frightsome and then some

Pre-Chorus 1:
The pressure of growing up too fast
My childhood fantasies couldn't last

Chorus:
Nattmara wears a tiara
On top of her ebony hair
She prances around in my nightly terrors
In the morning I can feel she’s still there

Verse 2:
My life as man, I kept my love pure
I did what I could to keep our life full
My dreams are now filled with a dooming fear
But something was hidden, making its pull
Making it's pull

Pre-Chorus 2:
Tossing and turning all night long
No longer in control, no longer strong

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Nattmara, why me? Nattmara, why them?
Nattmara, why us? Nattmara, please never again.

Solo
Repeat Chorus
Final Solo

Finally I can own every plugin known to man.
