You mentioned Ableton live which is popular with DJs and live production. I use it to record predominantly with metal music recirding guitar, bass and keys with no issues. You can download endless plug ins to suit your needs such as drum VST or guitar plug ins. Amplitube us a popular guitar and bass plug in.

Not familiar with zoom 3 b but to record I use an interface, Focusrite scarlet 2i2. There is a 2nd generation out. Mist interfaces come with a free DAW . eg my focusrite scarlet interface came with free Ableton Live 9 lite now 10 lite. It only has 8 tracks but does a decent job for recordings. You can play an effect through interface or you can use VST within your DAW. There are lots of threads on here about what DAW and interface. Have read in

Good opportunity to grease up fingers

To my ears is this

Phew..I've got a month to choose a photo. I'll try not to be too apocalyptic this time.

a- haaa. I knew it. Auto tune! Sounds like Simon Cowell stuff...erm where can I get auto tune? I might have a go.

Not many of us sing. To be fair I composed quite a bit this year, but my compositions seem to be spontaneous and it's always a struggle to match a pic with a tune and is a last minute thing for me.

Thank you and like wise. Always enjoy your comps. Especially the wheels on the bus 😁 I haven't entered the challenge for a while but noticed the poor turnout in past months. Shame as there are some great musicians on here.

I will be once I get a studio room. For the time being, everything is in and out of a box when recording/playing. It's painstaking.

...and there was me thinking I needed to develop my own style of music...

What instruments can you play?

Since mid 70's. It has been refinished several times.

Just made it on time, enjoy

I use Northwest guitars when working on guitar projects but they often seem to be out of stock and I could really do with a rosewood strat neck

steal of a deal

you're right. I only briefly saw the bottle not reading it pressuming it was whisky.

This link took me to a bottle of whisky

80/20 sounds like 5 a day

yes yes I understand it. But why do people think it's effective. The word rule is a bit subjective?

Where does 80/20 or 20/80 rule comes from?

I am not a big fan of Black Friday or Boxing Day deals etc as I think it's only marketing but would be nice to share any interesting deals you find. Here is mine, also if anyone sees Ableton deal please share. The link doesnt seem to work. Type Black Friday in search menu and it will bring up the page www.loudersound.com/features/the-best-over-ear-headphones-deals-right-now

Finally had some time to try it out but now there's no sound when I tap laptop keys ir midi keys. It worked initially with laptop keys when it was downloaded. Bizarre.... Edit I managed to work it. Sounds decent to my ears. Surely I'll find it useful.

Downloaded and giving it a go. Seems to work. So far only listened through laptop speakers. I'll connect my midi keys and headphones later and report back. Anyone found SSD5 useful yet?
