I remember pivot.

"Life is what happens when you're busy making other plans."

robotoctopus makes a good point, if you really like LSDJ, it doesn't take much to plunk a few ideas in a game boy before/after a meditation. If you want making music to be a part of your life, you'll make space for it. Good luck in the meantime.

Just the point that it's on front page

Studies show that hardware v software is a great way to get threads destroyed after 6 pages of bullshit.

Need more alco-hole-ism.

In the real, motor racers break their cars (or themselves) eventually... I guess that analogy works too hmm

I think a checkered flag is expected to have at least 16 squares but I can't find a reference.

I think the English say "crisptune."

It should be easy to keep up with the intro thread, but more difficult to tell who falls off and leaves, since you have to stop for a while before anyone notices that you're gone.

That's understandable. To reiterate, I suggest typing whatever you want into google or bing and if you don't see a musician on page one of the results go for it.

There is only one other very personal thing I can say about the power of a performer name: it's much easier to find a performer with a unique name in a Web search. Throughout a certain period of my life, I'd ask professionals if I need a stage name, because there are at least 6 musicians named "Christopher Hunter" that I am aware of, all of those people thought my real name would suffice.

Despite meaning something negative, "chunter" works well where my real name didn't.

Have you done something that a good song/show won't instantly erase? Memories are short.

Most of my guitars were ~$80 eBay scores, my commodore stuff was acquired from an assortment of flea markets and Ham (amateur) Radio club sales, and some eBay, from making offers on boxes 'o crap.

Whomever asked about Wildcard, basically anything that blips will do, so I've used it as an excuse to play guitar and use voices, others have played Yamaha tablehonker solos; anything that sounds "chip" enough to not get downvoted and fits the mp3 size limit is ok.

Happy to hear so much interest, looking forward to hearing all of you.

It depends on what you will do with the mix. Sometimes it's fun to make it sound like a Beatles record (hard pan only,) sometimes it makes everything weird. There are no rules.

As there seems to be a similar thread dealing with a variation of the topic, if you leave the channels dead center and mono, I find the best ways to create illusion of sound in a space without ruining the original is a very subtle, carefully eq'd reverb (and maybe a delay.)
