Hi gang! I'm Tom from San Antonio, TX. I've been a music nut for many years (over 60 now). I play guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboard and in the last few years have gotten into recording and making music. I'm a basic rock and blues fan and love re-making renditions of classic tunes. My singng lacks but I'm working on it. I've been using Mixcraft as my DAW for about 4 years now and it's a great inexpensive piece of software with an abundance of features. There are numerous free plug-ins out there that I have played with and some are quite good. I hesitated to get into the expensive stuff right off the bat (money being the primary issue) until I knew more about recording, mixing and mastering. I have some posts under T-Guitar on the mIxcraft Live site T-Guitar: audio files . Would appreciate a listen and let me know what you think. I've also entered the GerafestPuremix contest (you can find my name Tom Heinzinger) and enjoyed putting that together. This forum should be a great place to work and learn. Looking forward to everyone's participation and reviews.
