  1. my daughter started on guitar aged 8 with boot feet :) unfortunately she lost interest after about a year and stopped practising :( i tried everything i could think of to get her playing again but failed.
    when she started secondary school however she was into it again big time she now plays guitar, bass and piano.
    she has always been quite competitive and i think seeing other kids who were better than she was spurred her on
    infact she only really picked up the bass to begin with because the school bands bass player had given her some cheek :P and she wanted to be better than him
    wish i had just started telling her she wasnt as good as the next kid when she was 8 :) would have saved me a lot of effort trying to get back into it

    Just a word of warning: I wasn't kidding about the extra time/patience for tinkering. You may have to install a different kernel (low-latency) to get the best performance, and you may need to spend a little time faffing around with the setup in [i]Jack[/i][i]CTL[/i] once you've installed it. That said, I managed to get it working so it can't be too difficult; if you go to the Ubuntu Studio website, there are some pretty comprehensive instructions. I haven't had the time to get fully acquainted with it, but [i]Ardour [/i](free multi-track recording software) seems to be pretty good so far.

    Thats what I love about the linux world, the no it cant be done on this os attitude doesnt exist
    My daughter uses the that box and likes to have a play about recording her ideas all her friends think she is a wierdo for not using windows or mac
    Teenagers lol

  3. I went over to mac earlier this year built it myself out of fully compatible parts and all I can say is its fast and solid
    Not used logic im still using ableton there isnt much difference on performance compared to my windows box but it has never hung or crashed while recording etc
    Only downside with mac is all my fave games are windows only :'(

  4. i have a corner in the conservatory pc amp etc i play 90% of the time through headphones which is great i dont disturb them (her indoors and the neighbours) and i cant be disturbed :)
    there is of course times i plug into the amp when the drummer and guitarist are over and get loud but not that often that anyone has knocked on the door .. or maybe i just couldnt hear them

  5. i had to check them out after reading this, i watched for a few minutes then went to light the bbq and was thinking to myself these guys bore me and sound like the smashing pumkins

    turns out it was the smashing pumkins on iplayer before the xx :P i FFW throught the boredom to hear the xx and i wish i hadnt bothered
