February 11, 1964 The Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show. I turned 11 four days earlier (the day of their first arrival in USA). The desire was there but the means did not come until my 14th birthday where I got my first electric guitar and amp from West L.A. Music.

Very cool. I like it. It has a very cool vibe to it. As we discussed in OPEN MIC, we share a lot of similar influences. I love The Cure, Depeche Mode, Joy Division and other influences you mentioned. While I can hear those influences in your music, I think you and your band bring all of those influences together to create your own sound, which is…Read More

Very cool. Just learning about the “PresetShare” site was worth the visit. I don’t have the patience or brain capacity to build patches from scratch, and sifting through hundreds of presets is a buzz-kill. Best to find something “close” and tweakable using a search like this.Thanks for the feedback…Read More

5 to 7 will make it in.
My picks:
- Jeff Buckley. 1 million percent. He was an incredible talent. And yes, I was a fan when he was alive and turned my wife on to his music shortly after we made, and he passed away less than a year later.
- Joy Division / New Order. They were incredibly influential. Even Billy Corgan claims them as his greatest…

With all that’s going on with NI’s insolvency, I’m certain that many music producers will be researching alternatives like Soundbox, UVI/Falcon, HALion, SoundPaint, Musio, etc. It’s a very good time for these companies to step up their presence.

I guess it depends. If someone like OTS had a big sale I would be all over that. Likewise if it was an obscure instrument I had always been looking for I’d be in (“Oh wow! Look here’s a model of a 1966 Farfisa organ with a dead middle C note just like John Lennon once kicked over”). Otherwise… -

Continuing down the strategy analysis path, Fender is clearly trying to take market share from BandLab. But BandLab has one of the most difficult strengths to displace, the social ecosystem they’ve built. While they’ve done a terrible job on the DAW end, my guess is that they’ll soon bail on Cakewalk Sonar and buy an established DAW to grab the…Read More
