Two thoughts: Genre: A song doesn't have to fit a genre. I'll bet you can think of a lot of songs that can't be pigeon-holed. What genre would you call Moody Blues or Rickie Lee Jones? Rock, maybe? Are you sure? Just let your songs speak for themselves. So let your songs write themselves...

SOOO different! If I waited for inspiration to strike, I'd hardly ever write anything. For me, it's a matter of sitting down and doing it. That's why I wish writing could be my nine-to-five job.

I leave that to them. My job is to write like me. I don't think about whether I'm writing something good. I just write 'em and leave it to the rest of you to have opinions about whether they're any good. Just relax. Let your brain go slack. When all the doors and windows are open, tunes will...

Hm. I've always thought of Tom as a very popular artist. Not a top-forty guy, but widely appreciated nonetheless. No?

Yup, I do play my songs with several bands. Sounds like the right advice. Thanks!

Yup, I've noticed that this is a well-run forum. Thanks again!

Going well! I've bagged the demo idea for now. Folks have agreed (me included) that the vocals aren't strong enough to carry it. So maybe in '19 I'll work on the vocals some more. Spent the demo money on a new dobro instead. Yee-ha! Meanwhile, been playing in a duo and trio that are both...

Dang! Now why didn't I think of that!

Thanks, gang, that makes sense!

Just read an article by a guitarist who puts a Radial Pro DI between his Sansamp and PA when he's performing. Says it improves the guitar's sound. Will it improve the sound of a Sansamp for home recording? Thanks! cb

Reaper looks great. So does the Behringer. Thanks!

It needs Windows. I use Macs.

It needs Windows. I use Macs.

Cool! Thanks!

Hey! All the info online about DAW software goes on and on about plug-ins, effects, drum tracks, and other stuff I'll never want. I don't want to correct pitch or add chorus or emulate the plexi sound. I just want to record instruments and voices. I want: - easy editing. - high quality. - to...

Yup, I was just about to go to that web page!

Thanks! Sounds like I'd want a 16-gig iMac if I want to do any more recording - about $1,300 before software, interface, and whatnot. Hm.

And a computer. I'm trying to figure that out, too. It'll be a Mac, but which?

Where does the ADAT come in? You're the first person I've heard mention it.

Yeah, software is key. I'm wondering what hardware I'd need.
