What's everyone working on at the moment?

That's fucking great, mate. What instruments will he be specialising in?

Thanks, I'm very happy for him. Drums will be his principal instrument but guitar and flute will feature somewhere! It's a vocational course designed to prepare students for working in the industry in various professional capacities. Phil Selway of Radiohead is a notable Old Boy. I may have to go on to fake drums myself in a few months' time! Bummer! :D
 
The pro musicians I know are generally pretty skint - that's more to do with art funding though. Its already competitive as fuck and arts funding has been slashed. I know various cellists, pianists, wind-players etc. They're generally only getting about £100 quid a show. Still, its better than having a McJob and arts funding can only go up from where it is now!

I haven't heard from Miner yet but at the moment I'm leaning towards EZD2. I'm not convinced I'll get much use out of the added functionality of SD2 and addressing that extra functionality may end up being an inconvenience... unless of course its a set it up and forget about it job.
 
I'm in the process of micing up for rhythm guitar, now. That ought to be pretty easy to do, then I have to spend time writing some killer lead lines for it all. That will be the difficult bit, I think.
 
I knocked this one out this afternoon - It's a jingle for Frank's podcast that he does at school with his mate. He does a segment called "The Hateful Harris", where he rants amusingly about stuff he hates. Go on, It's only 15 seconds out of your life! :D

I love a good pick-scrape, Bubba.

I'm a good rhythm (ha, ha, see what I did there?) with recording at the moment. I have loads of songs complete and ready to go. So I'm working on them during the week in my rental apartment, sorting out the drums, chopping up the scratch tracks so that I have a complete song structure etc... you know all the frustrating bit that feels like work.

So when I go home on the weekend - I have a complete track and I'm well practised so I can just enjoy recording keepers at high volume.

That's what I did with that metal track, my mate came over one weekend and said we should try recording it, we laid a few bits down. I buggered off for the week, finished the arrangement and the drums, wrote the solos. So it was really easy to re-track it
