    What’s a good laptop for production

    That's the route I went - gaming mini-PC. Dedicated to Reaper. Very happy so far. Mine is nearly identical to this one: https://www.amazon.com/AOOSTAR-GEM12-PEIC4-0-OCULINK-HDMI2-1/dp/B0D1VGH2T8?th=1

    Your nostalgic gear...

    Is that amp dated from the 60's?

    Your nostalgic gear...

    And these guys: The amp on the right is a vintage 1965 Fender Tremolux. I picked it up many years ago through a trade after doing some air conditioning work for a drummer friend. He bought it cheap from the original owner who was a steel player. According to him - it never had an electric...

    Your nostalgic gear...

    Not sure if this qualifies - but I've had this DS-1 so long I can't remember when I bought it. It's been modified to curb that shrill edgy-ness that these are known for - I still use it from time to time. I gigged heavily for many years and this thing was a mainstay on my board during that...

    Your nostalgic gear...

    The R8 was/is a great drum machine. 2-3 year after the R8 came out - Roland released another killer drum machine - the R70. I still have and use mine. I use mine mostly for some of the cool, unique sound effects that you can't find anywhere else. But yeah - the R70 still works perfectly even...

    Can you ID this mic?

    And getting a little nerdy.... that is the R2 version of the WA87 - as opposed to the first generation version. She's got a cool, vibey-presence Karen Carpenter quality to her voice.

    AD2, EZD, SD.... remarkable technology. I guess I'm just not that particular.

    EZDrummer3 opinion

    I haven't done it often - but it has happened.... where I start a song idea with a drum part, a groove. I love killer rhythm. So why not? It's unusual - but the rules are: there ain't no rules.

    Why is activation so HARD!

    There's no trying to minimize the reality. It's can be - and usually is - a complete pain in the fucking ass. I've enjoyed - and will continue to enjoy - learning Reaper. It's a fantastic piece of software. For all kinds of reasons. But dealing with plugins is a constant reminder of why I...

    EZDrummer3 opinion

    Just to be clear and helpful - as stated above - EZDrummer 3 has the ability/function to move single sequence hits ever so slightly to change the feel (or for whatever reason). It is literally called "nudge". I'm not looking at it right now - but as I recall - you can set the increments or size...

    My "Jimi" 70s Strat with the giant headstock!

    No idea.

    My "Jimi" 70s Strat with the giant headstock!

    Yes. He and I knew each other at another forum for about 25 years. If you think some of the political sparring here has gotten a little prickly at times.... whoa nelly.... you ain't seen nothin. He and I used to get after it. We disagreed on a lot of issues - but I also knew he had a good...

    RWRP middle pickup question

    Drop this here, fwiw. Excellent book that I bought recently: https://a.co/d/jh2dFsg

    EZDrummer3 opinion

    Yes. Tiny amounts to change the feel - if desired.

    EZDrummer3 opinion

    With EZD3 you can now "nudge" drum hits for altering timing and feel.

    EZDrummer3 opinion

    Ive been using EZDrummer 2 and now 3 (since it was released) with the Tascam DP-32SD for about 10 years now. I love that work flow. It's perfect for my purposes. I'm starting to work more in Reaper - but for sketching or getting basic mixes down - this is still my go-to approach. It's quick...
