bapu posted in the group Gig Stories
Not a gig story but our little high school cover rock band had a (later to be) famous drummer for about two weeks. Burleigh Drummond of Ambrosia.
He was studying music at UCLA and he lived (with his mom) one floor up from our guitarist (who lived with his mom and dad) in Venice, CA.
That dude has more talent in his left little toe than I’ll…Read More

bapu replied to the topic Why Do You Play? in the forum ALL THINGS MUSIC
I play because I saw the Beatles on Ed Sullivan (I just turned 11 the day they landed in New York) and I knew I wanted to “that”.
At first, I was leaning towards the drums. Ringo seemed the coolest to me.
Then 2 years later I was gifted a very cheap acoustic guitar and a Mel Bay book from an older cousin. That did not go well, self…Read More

I loved the triple post @peter
Brings back memories of the first old Cakewalk forums (pre BandLab)
bapu replied to the topic BFD3 for It's Lowest Price Ever! 60% OFF – $39 US reg. $99 in the forum Virtual & Physical Music Gear Deals
I bought into like 75% of all add on packs for BFD3 as well as some 3rd party packs.
After InMusic took over nearly all 3rd party packs could not be located/authorized/loaded and/or some vendors just dropped the product from their offerings.
I more or less walked away from using it after I maybe did two songs using BFD3.

I’ve been on Acronis sine 2010. Recently I’ve been writing my OS backup to an internal SATA SSD. I do daily incremental backups. Every two months or so I wipe out the incrementals and start over.
I’m going to explore Ninite. Thanks @Brian

With the uncertainty of the new administration tarrif proposals I decided to move up my new DAW machine purchase by two years.
I went with This Platinum Studio Max from Jim Roseberry. This new machine is the latest 14th gen CPU and 128gb of RAM, 2tb m.2 OS drive, Thunderbolt 4 with Win 11 Pro installed. The machine has 4 m.2 slots, and 6 sata…Read More

I put four 4tb WD Black SN850X on this controller and set it as Raid 1.
