  1. I can see how that could be a great writing tool 😂
  2. No electric drums, in the early days, I had a Boss DR550 "drum machine" and became expert level with that thing. Now all the drums exist as VST plugins in my DAW. There is no going back, best drum machine ever.
  3. looking a little closer - the only way I can give you control over individual instruments is to make each instrument into an individual track before exporting. Usually I stack my drums and percussion into single tracks. Not hard to do, but time consuming. Not that time consuming was ever a problem in recording.
  4. I'd jump in on any guitar part and programming as requested. Never tried going cross-platform with my DAW before. What is everyone using? DAW: FL Studio Edit: I just checked, and I can export to Pro Tools (and possibly other DAWs). Anyone with Pro Tools or other DAWs want to test it out? I can send you wav files and you import those as tracks. You won't be able to change any programming on the tracks, but you can mix the individual tracks during mastering and of course add your own tracks. The marble mouthed numbnut knows how. 🙄 Thank you sir, but it's FL Studio, not FL Studios.
  5. I tried this a while ago on a different forum. My idea was a simple slow blues jam. I think we didn't have enough people with recording rigs. Didn't end up happening.
  6. I am sitting in the morning At the diner on the corner I am waiting at the counter For the man to pour the coffee And he fills it only halfway And before I even argue He is looking out the window At somebody coming in GPT It sounds like you're describing a scene that could make for a captivating image. Let's translate this into a visual: Imagine a cozy, sunlit diner with retro vibes, nestled on a bustling city corner. The interior is warm and inviting, with a long counter that runs parallel to large, pane-glass windows offering a view of the busy street outside. You're seated at the counter, a casual observer in this everyday setting, embodying a moment of pause in the early morning hustle. The focal point of the image is you, waiting patiently, an untouched coffee cup in front of you, filled only halfway – a detail that adds a touch of imperfection to the scene. The diner's atmosphere is calm, yet anticipatory, as if the entire place is holding its breath for what's to come. Behind the counter, the barista, a figure of routine and care, is caught in a moment of distraction. His gaze is directed towards the window, drawn by the arrival of a new character entering the scene, adding a layer of narrative intrigue. This moment captures the intersection of lives and stories, all converging in this small, yet significant space. The outside world is alive and moving, visible through the diner's windows, offering a contrast to the stillness inside. The light of the morning sun filters through, casting soft shadows and illuminating the scene with a gentle glow, highlighting the anticipation and the myriad of untold stories within this snapshot of life. Let's bring this scene to life visually. A cozy, sunlit diner located on a busy city corner in the morning. The interior is retro-themed with a warm and inviting atmosphere. A person is sitting at the counter, in front of them a coffee cup filled only halfway. Behind the counter, a barista is distractedly looking out the large pane-glass window at someone entering the diner. The scene captures a moment of anticipation and the intersection of lives within this inviting space. The morning sun filters through the windows, casting soft shadows and illuminating the diner with a gentle glow. Here's the scene brought to life: a cozy, sunlit diner on a bustling city corner, capturing a moment of anticipation and the quiet stories within. If there's anything you'd like to adjust or add to further refine the image, feel free to let me know! "It is always nice to see you" Says the man behind the counter To the woman who has come in She is shaking her umbrella And I look the other way As they are kissing, their hellos And I'm pretending not to see them And instead I pour the milk GPT This continuation of the scene adds a dynamic interaction between the characters, enhancing the narrative depth of the diner setting. Let's expand on this visual: In this moment, the diner's atmosphere shifts subtly with the entrance of the woman, introducing a personal connection that feels both intimate and familiar. The man behind the counter greets her with a warmth that transcends the ordinary, signaling a relationship that's perhaps well-rooted in history or personal bonds. The woman, just in from the rain, is shaking her umbrella, adding a touch of the outside world's elements into the diner's sheltered environment. This action, simple yet evocative, brings a sense of movement and life, contrasting with the stillness of the initial scene. Your position in this unfolding story is that of an observer choosing discretion over curiosity, turning away from the personal greeting to respect their moment. The act of pouring milk, an everyday gesture, becomes a moment of diversion, allowing the private greeting to remain just that—private. This added layer of narrative brings new elements to our visual interpretation: the contrast between public and private worlds, the warmth of familiar relationships, and the unspoken stories that play out in the most ordinary of settings. Let's visualize this enriched scene, capturing not only the visual elements but also the underlying emotions and connections. Inside the same cozy, sunlit diner, the atmosphere becomes more personal and intimate with the entrance of a woman shaking her umbrella, greeted warmly by the man behind the counter. The scene is now filled with a sense of movement and life. The observer, seated at the counter, chooses to look away from the personal moment, focusing instead on pouring milk into their coffee, maintaining a sense of discretion. This moment captures the contrast between the public and private worlds, the warmth of familiar relationships, and the unspoken stories in ordinary settings. Here's the expanded scene in the diner, capturing the intimate greeting between the man behind the counter and the woman with her umbrella, alongside your discreet act of pouring milk. It visually narrates the unspoken stories and the warmth of familiar relationships within this ordinary yet meaningful setting. If there's more you'd like to explore or adjust in this visual story, just let me know! I open up the paper There's a story of an actor Who had died while he was drinking It was no one I had heard of And I'm turning to the horoscope And looking for the funnies When I'm feeling someone watching me So I raise my head GPT Capturing this next phase in the diner scene shifts the focus back to the interior and your personal experience within this space. The act of opening the newspaper introduces a new layer of engagement with the world beyond the diner, juxtaposed against the backdrop of the intimate, lived moments happening around you. The story of the actor, though a passing detail, adds a touch of the external world's complexities and realities into the serene diner setting. Your shift of attention to the horoscope and funnies reflects a search for lighter, more comforting aspects of life amidst these realities. The sensation of being watched adds an intriguing twist, introducing a sense of connection or observation that pulls you out of the solitary act of reading the paper. This moment of raising your head, ready to meet the gaze of another, suggests a readiness to engage, to acknowledge the presence of others in this shared space. Let's visualize this scene, focusing on the contrast between the personal moment of reading the newspaper and the sudden awareness of being part of a larger narrative within the diner, marked by the act of looking up, potentially locking eyes with another patron or the earlier mentioned characters. The scene shifts to the interior of the diner where the observer is now engrossed in reading a newspaper, focusing on a story about an actor and then turning to the horoscope and funnies. The diner remains cozy and sunlit, with the morning light creating a serene atmosphere. The moment of realization that someone is watching them introduces a new layer of engagement. The observer raises their head from the paper, ready to engage or acknowledge another's presence, capturing a blend of personal solitude and the awareness of being part of a larger narrative within the diner. The scene has now evolved to capture you engaging with the newspaper, momentarily absorbed in the stories of the outside world before the sensation of being watched prompts you to look up, connecting back with the diner's intimate narrative. This image reflects the blend of personal solitude and the subtle, yet profound, interactions that thread through shared spaces like this diner. If there's any further detail or another perspective you'd like to explore, feel free to share! There's a woman on the outside Looking inside, does she see me? No she does not really see me 'Cause she sees her own reflection And I'm trying not to notice That she's hitching up her skirt And while she's straightening her stockings Her hair is getting wet GPT This next part of the narrative adds an intriguing layer of introspection and observation, blending the inner and outer worlds of the diner scene. The woman on the outside, preoccupied with her own reflection and adjustments, introduces a moment of unintentional voyeurism that's both private and public. Her actions, though personal, unfold within the view of the diner's occupants, yet she remains unaware of being observed. The juxtaposition of her focus on her reflection against your attempt to avert your gaze captures a nuanced interaction between strangers, mediated by the barrier of the diner's window. This moment underscores the theme of isolation and connection running through your experience in the diner—the simultaneous proximity to and distance from the lives that intersect there. The detail of her hair getting wet adds a tangible connection to the external environment, emphasizing the weather's impact and the passing of time as these individual narratives continue to unfold. Visualizing this scene, we'll capture the contrast between the interior warmth and the external world's intrusion, highlighting the complex layers of observation, reflection, and the personal moments that connect us. The focus shifts to a woman outside the diner, looking in, caught up in her own reflection on the window. Inside, the observer tries not to notice her adjusting her skirt and straightening her stockings, a moment of personal care under the observer's unintentional gaze. The scene encapsulates a blend of introspection and observation, highlighting the isolation and connection experienced by those within and outside the diner. The rain, making the woman's hair wet, adds a layer of connection to the environment, emphasizing the weather's impact on this moment of personal and shared narratives. The narrative now includes a moment capturing the woman outside, her focus inward mingled with her own reflection—a scene that beautifully intertwines themes of introspection, observation, and the blur between the personal and the public. This image reflects the complex interplay of lives and stories within and beyond the diner's windows. If there are more details or another direction you'd like to take with this unfolding story, I'm here to help visualize it. Oh, this rain, it will continue Through the morning As I'm listening To the bells of the cathedral GPT The narrative now transitions into a reflective and almost meditative state, connecting the personal experience within the diner to the broader, outside world through the ambiance of the rain and the distant sound of cathedral bells. This addition introduces a temporal element—the passage of time marked by the rain's persistence and the cathedral's bells, offering a backdrop that's both atmospheric and symbolic. The rain, continuing through the morning, not only influences the physical setting but also sets a mood of contemplation and introspection, enhancing the diner's cozy shelter. The sound of the cathedral's bells adds a layer of depth, suggesting a connection to the community or the passage of time, resonating with the personal moments and narratives unfolding within the diner. Visualizing this scene, we'll capture the essence of the rain's presence outside the diner, its effect on the environment and the individuals within, and the subtle but profound impact of the cathedral bells' sound, weaving through the air, reaching the observer amidst the backdrop of a quiet, introspective morning. The scene extends beyond the diner to include the rainy morning outside, creating a reflective atmosphere. The rain continues to fall, setting a mood of contemplation.

I am thinking of your voice And of the midnight picnic Once upon a time Before the rain began And I finish up my coffee And it's time to catch the train GPT This closing sentiment shifts the narrative inward, reflecting on memories and moments shared before the rain—nostalgic and poignant. The mention of your voice and the midnight picnic evokes a sense of personal connection and shared history, a stark contrast to the solitude of the diner scene. These memories, rich with emotion and intimacy, stand in relief against the backdrop of the rainy morning and the routine act of finishing coffee, readying to rejoin the flow of the outside world. The impending departure to catch the train introduces a sense of transition and movement, both physically and metaphorically, from the introspective pause within the diner to the onward rush of life's demands. This moment captures the interplay between past and present, memory and moment, as the observer prepares to step out from the sheltered space of reflection into the continuity of their journey.

  7. Noooo!! 😂 It's all good. I remember a while back, someone coming here and insisting every pickup manufacturer was flawed and they figured out the correct way. Probably a billionaire by now with that design.
  8. No no, Scooter, you got that backwards. See, I didn't come on a guitar forum and tell everyone they're all over-50 noodlers. I would never do that. You did that. 👆 Do you understand now? If that's where you're coming from, either put up or shut up. And we both know you'll go silent on that now. Want to talk about magical glue some more instead?
  9. I don't believe you. You can't even seem to master the quote function of this forum. It's not that difficult. 😬 And you're wrong about the people who post here, the majority are real guitar players. Many have posted videos featuring their talents. Can't you do that too, since you're criticizing them? Maybe show everyone how it's done?
  10. I could lock YOU in a room with a supercomputer for 2 decades and you couldn't build it. 🤡. You're super good at standing off on the sidelines and taking potshots at other people's creations, while creating nothing yourself. Still waiting on that recording of you playing and guitar. You do play, right?
  11. I have a subscription to open ai - I have been messing around with it and I would say "chat gpt" is a bit of a troll and both brilliant and moronically stupid at the same time. And yes you can see humanity reflected in the technology. Brilliant and moronically stupid.
  12. Ooh more haiku Aren't we a creative bunch? 😄 My fender is trash Bolt on neck can't possibly Make iconic tone
  13. Hey I'm not mad at you guardian I'm mad at myself for spending so much time with you and your Jekyll and Hyde-ness I'm glad I figuratively slapped you on the wrist You laughed a wicked laugh and said 'come here let me clip your wings' (I know he's blood but you can still turn him away you don't owe him anything) 'Raise the roof' he yelled 'yeah raise the roof' I yelled back (Unfortunately you need a health scare to re-prioritize) No thanks to the soap box Having me rile against them won't make an ounce of difference I'm in the front row The front row with popcorn I get to see you, see you close up
  14. Jeff Beck using a Squier strat and a Line 6 would smoke all of us, badly. 😄. Better to spend time practicing than sniffing neck heels.
  15. Here, I'll attack the premise to get another response. AI bot? Fuji, you're wrong. The reason different Les Pauls sound different is because they don't all have the same pickups. AI bot reply says what?
  16. It gets stranger. This is the only thread this user has posted in or started on this forum. But ... JOINED October 23, 2015 🤔
  17. You need to post a clip of your playing before you go talking that talk. Let's hear that golden tone from your "proper" Les Paul and all the amazing riffs you've learned over the years. If you can't do that following your critical (and baseless) comment, you are just a 🤡. Wild guess here .... you're Russian?
  18. It's because some boomer intentionally burned themselves and then sued for compensation and won. The most litigious generation changes all the warning labels.
  19. Agreed. It's easy to accomplish that. Just kill all the humans, problem solved.
  20. As impressed as I am, I can't say I have ever managed to break any rinky dink pins on any watch I have ever owned.
  21. Love that watch. 👆 I have a slight obsession with watches and time pieces. Just recently picked up this Casio watch. Not a brand I love, but this one makes the cut with its simple clean design and reasonable price.
  22. The flaw in that message is the ".....and everything gonna be alright, man!" part. Accepting reality isn't sh*t talking peace and love.
