Do yourself a favour and do not use that M-Audio, i had one and never could make it work. it will cut off in the middle of a recording. The Zoom B3 can work with asio4all drivers. As for DAW I would go for Reaper or Tracktion T7 (this one is completely free and without restrictions). Tracktion is very simple to use and very Tape machine like workflow.

I'm glad you all are enjoying the bargains, I'll keep the heads up coming. I'm a sucker for those

You're very welcome Dan, always a pleasure.

In all honesty the strings sound very sweet, still need to try the brass but don't doubt they sound great too. Enjoy!!

Just thought you would like to know about these bargains

Yes it is 64 bits

Hahaha they promised a realistic drum kit not a good drummer 😅

Check this video to fix it

In the meantime check this tune that they made using the drumkit, it sounds so natural. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B8sahgYlFzKreDd1cXgtU1kta00/view

Go here, there are 2 versions: 1 - with only multiple velocity layers which sounds great 2- With multiple velocity layers and round robins which uses more resources but sounds amazing It's a vintage Ludwig kit, they created the GUI for Kontakt and Sforzando and a template for Reaper. https://smmdrums.wordpress.com/for-reaper/ Download, open it in Reaper and press play. You'll be amazed at how great it sounds. Don't forget the manual it explains how to use it in your mixes.

If you use Reaper I have another one which uses Resamplomatic5000 but the guys who made it created a very nice template fro Reaper.

Hey if you need any more help with everything Reaper, just subscribe to the channel "ReaperMania" in Youtube. Everything is organized in playlists.

I play "Living on a prayer" on a 5 strings and still that open "E" rules.

You may want to give Tracktion a try T7 is completely free and it is fully featured. It is very easy to use.

If you chose 16gb ram but don't have 64bits OS you are not doing anything at all as 32bits will only recognize 4gb ram. The computer looks great though

Well not entirely for free but for as low as $1. 1- Go to Plugin Boutique and create an account (free) 2- Go to deals and buy any plugin, you can buy any of those really cheap ones they have from $1 to $5. 3- Once you complete your purchase, they'll send you a code to download your version of Ozone. 4- Once you download Ozone follow the instructions to register your copy for free. Please notice this is the basic version of Ozone but it is still a great mastering tool.

Go to VST4FREE and see if you can find something in there

There's a review here and to be honest I'm not very impressed

Maybe the most sound advice you'll ever receive.

If you like Mac and don't have the money for a new or second hand one then another alternative lots of people are using is Hackintosh which is basically a PC with Mac OS installed in it. Lots of musicians are going for it and it works very well.

That would be great news!! that program is everything I wanted from a music show. Great musicians playing together and working out new versions of their own songs or even new covers

I love the program but in all honesty it seems that after selling to MTV they are not updating the website with new content regularly. IT's a shame.
