Topic: OK, then.

Looks like New Zealand woke up.
Jandle is back in the saddle.
Where's our Aussie friend who posted so many songs?

I'm going to try to figure out a song to play. Some of you may be pleased to learn that I have upgraded my sound equipment and software. Others may be sad to learn it, having given me the benefit of the doubt with poor equipment and software - LOL! 

I guess it's time to give a try at a song I haven't played on a song-of-the-month before, if I could even remember what they were.

Hi Zurf. Any chance of letting us know what equipment and software you've acquired?     

Ask not what Chordie can do for you, but what you can do for Chordie.

I'm using Reaper now, rather than Audacity.

My interface is a Focusrite Scarlett 212.  I only need one XLR for a mic, and one 1/4" jack for my instrument. So it works for me. I hade been going through an analog USB Peavey PV-8 (which still works fine for PA use - though I get a nasty 60 cycle hum unless the electric is clean).

The Focusrite scarlett range are excellent, did you get a studio program with it? I had an Ableton with mine a few years back, though mine was a 18i6 which is now kaput, it is 10 years old, maybe more? Enjoy learning to use it.

Re: OK, then.

Hey Zurf,  great to hear from you.  Yep I`m awake and ready to start pumping out music again, unlike yourself with new equipment I haven't updated anything, still only got my little held recorder.   It will be soon be time for you all to get out the cheese please for your ears when I start  trying to perform again as haven't sung or played instruments in so long.  I always remember that tv show 'Hello Hello' and the woman couldn't sing to save herself and all the people at the bar used to put cheese in their ears when she sang big_smile  Will look forward to hearing your song and the new equipment.  As for Neophytte from Aussie, I am sure he will turn up at some stage.
