Happy new year BCrs. I decided to kick off my " music production" this year with the most neglected part in my IT arsenal i.e. file management etc. I tend to lump everything on my SSD drive, software, plug ins, tracks, user library the whole lot, leaving my HDD empty. My plan is to use my internal SSD for DAW software and plug ins. Then dedicate my internal HDD for tracks audio recording. Have an external SSD for samples and sound libraries and have a fourth external SSD for back up. I'm sure this topic has been discussed previously but I can't find a link. How do you organize your files etc. There are so many articles on this subject. Lastly, my download files folder takes up lots of GB. So , after let's say I install a particular software is it safe to delete the installer. Some websites say yes some have different views. in my case I use a dedicated gaming laptop with only 250gb SSD and a 1tb HDD. My DAW is Ableton. I found good articles on Ableton site , but would be interested to hear/ share how you folks manage you IT stuff.

Is the photo any good for a metal inspiration?

About 5 years ago I rerecorded a song we wrote in first band, almost 4 decades ago. I play all the parts, drums created with Ableton live. The instruments are played played better and it sounds better in new version. I suppose back then we did not have DAW.

I agree, but working full time with other commitments, i am not as flexible with time.

Well gents, I ordered a gaming chair, should the comfort disappoint me I will swap it for Marcus IKEA chair.thanks everyone for advice

Can I get away without measuring the rooms accoustics? The omnidirectional mic I found online is inexpensive but the found the process complicated.

On my days off, sit in my garden behind locked gates, absorbing sun rays, admiring my new plants/flowers, tree blossom and sipping my home brewed beer.

Thanks for replying. 6 months 8 hours still comfy, sounds good

I need to get a comfortable Studio/office/gaming chair for my music room. Preferably comfy, and folding arm rests to be able to play guitar/bass. My budget is up to £150. I know it's not a lot but I found some on Amazon. Anyone uses and can recommend a suitable chair? Thanks

Shocking news, what a loss.

Thank you but safer to drive than risking delivery damage by post

All sorted at the moment. @hiram.k.hackenbacker driving saves hassle you're right. What a great community and thank you to @Hamster for offering help.

Lake placid, but I think tobacco suits the shape of the guitar better

Thank you I see if it's still for sale

It's the travelling time

There is a guitar for sale in TW19 Near Staines-Upon-Thames. I'd love to buy it. The seller won't post, and I wonder if anyone from Basschat travels from Kent to that area or vice versa that could kindly collect. Or post, don't know how much it costs to post. Thank you

The guy on the right handise playing banjo looks like James Hetfied

UFO inspired Steve Harris. Sad news, so many legends die....

I have only played mine a handful of times. The big question is? Is it good for metal?

10, I guessed once I wasn't sure or never heard of.

You're correct and most songs.
