    Zoom R8 8-Track Recorder.

    Over recent months I've been getting back into music after a 30 year break ( when I was a full time pro vocal guitarist) and have put together some of the gear I'd need to do some home recording work for posterity - I even treated myself to an EJ 200, a Gibson SG and a Line 6 Jam to get me...

    Choice of AI and headphones?

    Advice on a decent drum machine for older music genres?

    Hi guys, I'm new to the forum so just saying hi! Maybe some of you guys can help me with a problem I have regarding "drums"! A little about my background first.... I was a solo professional singer / guitarist for 13 years...I certainly didn't do too badly out of it and had great time in the...
