Ya! I sing, and I play guitar/bass mainly. I love messing around with analog style synths and whatnot too. I've been writing and recording for about 15 years now, since I was a kid. Tryin' to make my career work out here in Hollywood, looking to focus on licensing mainly to generate income. It's been a tough road, I suffer for my craft. Being a starving artist is not fun. Have to make big sacrifices for big rewards though right? It's all fodder for the lyric book...

I don't know if I can really track down a 'favorite'... I love so much different music, so many different genres. I'd have to say David Bowie is at the top with Mike Patton. Been listening to alot of Bad Brains and The Roots lately...

Analog synths! Which ones r u into right now?
Also, have you though about adding your btc wally address to your soundcloud/youtube profiles? I've done it and it sort of works, don't get that many donations but better than nothing, right? I'm thinking btc donations could be the future for artists, even if spotify have decided music shouldn't be worth more than a few cents, there are real fans out there who want to support their favourite bands.

I really love the MicroKORG, MS-20 and almost anything MOOG

Yeah, I have a donation page on my website. I've recently added my BTC, Opal, HYP, etc addys to my soundcloud page. I have YET to receive a penny for the music I do. I've only had my material stolen from me. For example, right now - a project I wrote and sang for is being sold on Amazon/ITunes right now w/o my permission. Plus there's a music video of me on youtube that I didn't authorize or sign any papers of any sort. The guy that's doing it was a jealous ex band mate who couldn't play his instrument. The leader of the band fired him and he took it out on me. Labels were looking at the band, and they only wanted me - so I got punished. I can't do anything because he's literally a millionaire - any defense I'd mount would end up causing even more pain in an already sore area. I'm hoping that I can rectify the situation at some point. It really kills me.

I'm also running Crypto Radio right now too! I'd love to get some music from artists in the community to put in the rotation - so hit me up via pm or at radio@deadlightbulb.com

I can play the guitar and sing Don't know if that helps anything but I just seen the thread and felt like sharing that with the world

The world needs all the music it can get!

I'm an avid musician...when I have time in the future, I wanna get a studio for recording purposes. I like to think I can sing, but that's obviously opinionated. I play the piano, clarinet, violin, and I'm in the process of learning the guitar

If you just wanna record with pretty decent quality, buy some kind of external sound card! I've got an "AudioBox USB" that's a few years old. Earlier this autumn I recorded a song with it, and it turned out really good (the only bad thing was that the instruments I had available at the time was cheep crap, which of course had an effect on the overall sound)!

[stevegreer]

I play with myself. Whoops! Wrong thread! 

Nah, but seriously, I have played the guitar and bass on and off for about 22 years now.
Favorite band? The Beatles. I can listen to them all day and never get tired of it.

How much does that cost? Which editing software do you use? :O

~250$, but then it came with the Studio One software. And it was a few years ago in Sweden (stuff tends to be quite expensive here). According to this site it's 99$ right now: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audio/presonus-audiobox-usb-2x2-usb-recording-system
If you wanna record clarinets or violin you'll have to buy a good microphone (which you can probably find pretty cheap as well).

For that project I used Garageband with Logic Pro 8 sounds installed (for mastering, distortion and such). With some tweaking and mastering it turned out really good!
(It was a school project, and my teachers were really surprised when I told them that the song wasn't recorded in a (semi) professional studio, but on an Audio Box! )

Sad story, I'm so sorry for you, that's not right.
Crypto radio sounds cool, I'll pm you the name of my music project, it's a bit left field but hopefully you'll like it & I look forward to hearing yours as well.
Ps. Moog ftw!

That's not too expensive, actually. I'll consider purchasing one when I get a school schedule that doesn't take up too much time haha. My friend has a good microphone that he says he might let me borrow occasionally; awww you have a Mac. I love GarageBand...one of the only programs I'd consider getting a Mac for. There just isn't any equivalent for Windows

The software I got with it, "Studio One" is not bad though. I just never really learnt how to use it (one reason is because my english back then was pretty bad, so I couldn't really understand the guides and manuals)!
Haven't used it in many years now, I don't even have it installed. But it's available for windows!
(Not really an equivalent to GarageBand with all its simplicity, but it's still a good studio program!)

I like playing the piano the most; I've played on two Bosendorfers, if anyone knows what they are, and their sound is absolutely fanfreakingtastic
