I recently bought an Akai MPK MiniMK3 controller which came with MPC Beats. I liked the Beats software so much that I upgraded to the full MPC version. I have been using Reaper, which is a good DAW but it has too many ways to do the same thing (IMO). I like the midi capabilities of MPC.

I don't think I would ever buy those, they cost more than me & my wife's first home. :-) I would like to hear what they sound like though.

Rusty Young was a dang good picker. I liked Poco but I never got into them to the point that I could name or recognize all their songs. Good luck on the sideways guitar man.

I agree dogooder. When I started PSG I was already playing guitar so I had an idea how to construct chords. I would think starting off on pedal steel having not played any other instruments would be difficult because you are trying to learn about music along with learning how to play an...

I looked at the manual for that recorder. If you are trying to play back thru the internal speaker, make sure the speaker is turned on. Menu/Tool/Speaker

And that is why I only do virtual drums anymore. :P I've spent so much money on doing drums for recordings. I even had a very nice Gretsch kit in my music room (that I tripped over no less than a dozen times :-) ) Well that, and I can't play drums very well. The first time I dragged a...

I've been a pedal steel player for a little over a half of a century. :-) I think one of the hardest things for a new player to get used to is wearing and using finger picks. They feel very weird until you get used to them. When I see non-steel players sit down at a PSG they usually grab a flat...

Earlier this year I switched to a DAW from my Tascam DP24SD, and I chose Reaper mainly because of the tutorials and other information available online. I'm liking Reaper a lot. There are so many ways to configure it and it seems to be very stable.

This is pretty cool. I could see it being used in some kind of action video sequence.
