  1. That's not the words, it happened to me in Venezuela where a friend invited me to dinner with his family and at the table I asked his youngest sister if I could have a spoon and suddenly a deafening silence and after receiving what seem like an eternity of stares I asked if I said something wrong...
  2. Yes but when they turn spoon into vagina there's no winning.
  3. Actually Peruvians & Colombian have the closest to what is considered classic spanish, the same can't be said about my natal dominican republic. SMH
  4. Tell me bloody about it, I got some funny stories of my travels to Venezuela, Mexico and Puerto Rico with some normally innocent words that mean something sexual in those countries
  5. Dude I don't know you but I was actually born and bred in a spanish speaking country so don't take it from me. In latin america which is her closest spanish speaking area lana is slang for money. So for Mcnach being spanish lana would just mean wool.
  6. Actually is meant to be a "money from the king", yours is a literal translation which really doesn't make any sense.
  7. Dude, get Reaper and give it a test Here are some quick tutorials that will get you going pretty fast https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrObLJdQqZFZKKW5SCU7ebw
  8. Exactly, all that matters is if the DAW provides all the tools needed for the musician to make music.
  9. Dude I noticed that in a couple of tunes but it was plain to see in that song with the slap and pop where he was just doing finger style while dancing. So yes there were some backing tracks for some songs, I believe he was playing in those songs where there were no dance routines involved. Great stuff though.
  10. Or a Commodore Amiga, that was midi at it's best
  11. Reaper is my DAW of choice and it has a lot of documentation and Youtube is your best friend. Another one to look at is Tracktion, version 6 is totally free and is very easy to setup and use. It's screen could look a bit different but once you get used to it it's a breeze. If you decide to go with Reaper, check these channels: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrObLJdQqZFZKKW5SCU7ebw And for more detail tricks and tips https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq297H7Ca98HlB5mVFHGSsQ For an introduction on Tracktion please check these ones:
  12. Hi guys, A friend of mine is in need of a good and reliable drummer for his covers trio. They gig regularly (during the week and weekends) and they play the usual mix of rock, blues and pop songs. Please msg me if you know someone interested and I'll provide the phone number and email address of my friend. Best regards,
  13. You should stay away of the EZ Mix too, going very cheap right now.
  14. [quote name='Stance' timestamp='1508595306' post='3393188'] I maybe wrong, but old issues of BP magazine may have pics of David Hungate playing it! Neil Stubenhaus also had one (in white) Great basses! [/quote] That white one is responsible for some serious hits! It sounded amazing...
  15. Have you pondered the fact that your student doesn't perceive time the same way you and me do? I've found that issue in some people. Maybe if you have a talk and ask him/her how he/she perceives time could give you an idea? I know a person who was struggling with this and found great help by using Takadimi which is an Indian method of rhythm, this vocalises the notes and it's incredibly easy to learn and adapt. Even better to learn how to read notation.

  16. As the owner of a BX500 I can say I'm truly sad, great amps with lots of power and tonal options. I think I'll get another as backup.
  17. What about this one? very cheap and according to people in TB works very well https://www.thomann.de/gb/harley_benton_custom_line_bass_di_ex_b_stock.htm

    I follow him and think his channel is very unfocused but great for tips on mixing and general information. I prefer Recording Revolution and Musician on a mission, those channels are great for learning the process of mixing.
  19. Yes they will, I downloaded T7 as I have a Behringer interface and it opens my projects like nothing, I even tried T7 on Linux (64 bits only) and it opened the project just without the 3rd party plugins I used. I found out that it makes less daunting the task of recording music especially if you're not an experienced home recorder. BTW I would recommend downloading the Reaper plugin suite, those plugins will work in T6 and I still can't believe they are given them for free, they are way better than the ones coming in T6.
  20. Hi guys, The good people at Tracktion have decided that giving Tracktion T5 for free was not enough and not they have decided to give Tracktion T6 for free and T7 comes bundle in all Behringer digital recording products. Tracktion is a free DAW, is very easy to use and come complete with no restrictions. It work son Mac, Windows and Linux (64 bits only) Here's the link if you want to give it a go. https://www.tracktion.com/products/t6-daw There are lots of free instructional videos on youtube. BTW I do not have any relationship with this company I just thought it would benefit any new or experienced home recording buff.
  21. [quote name='vsmith1' timestamp='1504100252' post='3362684'] Got to say that I agree - it has lots of headroom and that's just with my BF Midget connected. [/quote] All I would recommend is to pair it with a more traditionally sounding cabinet as this is a very modern sounding amp; mine doesn't seem to agree with my BFM Omni which is a modern sounding cab too, but with my Warwick WC210 they balance each other very well.
  22. [quote name='SisterAbdullahX' timestamp='1504027171' post='3362217'] The BX500 is meant to be great, I bet this is even better! Lot of amp for the money. GLWTS. [/quote] Sorry to be that guy but the BX500 is not meant to be great, IT IS GREAT!! I have never ge the volume in my BX500 pass 9 o'clock, if I do my guitar player will die! This one has all the goodness of the BX500 but with the added power, superb amp!
  23. Hi guys, I'm subscribed to a music production blog which from time to time posts offers from top leading plugin companies, this time they have sent me a link to the Addictive Drums Summer sale where they are selling everything 50% off. The sell is not only for drums, they sell addictive keys for the same starting price too! You can get a package for as little as $74 (£57 Sterling) and expansion packages from $34. I'm sorry this is only valid for a day but I just looked at my email and thought any of you could make use of this too. [url="http://homemusicstudio1.emlnk1.com/lt.php?i=494A588A1A35346"]http://homemusicstud...494A588A1A35346[/url] BTW, I have no affiliation with this company I'm just a home studio aficionado.
  24. I would like to add that if you decide to go with Linux, you can always install WINE and use Reaper, it works perfectly through WINE. BTW Linux works very well and Ardour is a complete and very good DAW that can compete with any other commercially available DAW. There are lots of people posting music they have made using Linux (Ardour, QTractor even Reaper) on Youtube. Here's a channel of a guy who makes music for advertisements plus his own songs. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q0PyzzDjUY&list=PLBvCHJWi9SXzxIvlkjBtRGTqQ9yyihyrz
