daveinspain Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 This was a good year for music and music gear... My playing has improved greatly, although I still have light years to go before I can claim that I'm even close to be good. I was asked to join another band. I found a new guitar professor and I'm starting to get it. I got a couple new guitars, one I bought (Strat) and one was traded for (Grestch 6120) and I got a couple new pedals (Box of Rock and a RC 30 loop station). I got a new computer and music software. Very badly needed... I stopped all my studio and production work in 2007 to learn guitar. Since then my music production software, Cubase, went up 3 versions and my computer wont even run on the new Mac operating system. I got a new MacBook Pro 15" cuad core and Cubase 6 and I am going to start my music production and writing again but based on guitar rather than keyboards... I am going to do my best to get an album out this year... I'm a lucky guy and thank god for my blessings... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Dave luck has nothing to do with it. Your hard work and perseverance are just paying off. Have a great 2012. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 You had a pretty eventful year Dave. "Good on you", as that one guy used to say B) The only "new" item I acquired was a ProCo Rat pedal. Used, I picked up 2 old Peavey amps (Classic VT and Back Stage), pedals (2 Dunlop Crybay Wahs and Visual Sounds H20) plus I got one of those Yamaha digital recorders. Which BTW came with Cubase 3 software and I still haven't really learned how to use it to make projects. Maybe this year's resolution should be to learn Cubase properly.

daveinspain Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Cubase is a tremendous production tool... I have done many projects using it. Does everything you need to produce professional quality recordings. If that is your New Years resolution, it's a good one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 I'm with you, Charlie. I did retire and am determined to to get to a point where I can just sit back and enjoy playing here in my home and studio. Have you made a final decision yet?

dem00n Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Not bad, a lot of pedals. This year might be better, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
