I'll put a case of beer on Bama. I'll take that….. I think Ole Miss can do it. Something about Bama isn't right this year. I would have made out, my prediction was based on the rankings only. I don't know much about those teams down there.

The keyboards are $500-$700 and Komplete 10 is $500. (MSRP) That's enough software to keep you busy for the next 10 years. Like I mentioned earlier I'm still using Komplete 5. I use either my $100 M-Audio 49 key with it or my $1500 Korg 61 key. You can use any hardware synth with a MIDI out.

I have 3 cd's worth of electronic music, that doesn't mean it's all sequences. You can still be a musician. Tangerine Dream were doing this back in the 60's, and they're still going strong!

You tried different cords too? Is this a head you built yourself?

I'm surprised Nashville isn't ruined already. It seemed like every struggling musician I met when I lived in LA ten years ago was moving to Nashville and for the last 5 or 6 years in New York there has been a mass migration to Nashville like spring breakers to Daytona Beach. I've got to imagine that Nashville is becoming commoditized and condo-ized. It seems like people who haven't been able to catch a break in the music business think they will find one by moving there. I hear Austin is the place to go, at least you're not playing for tips every night. I know a female musician that moved from L.A. to Austin, she's never looked back.

Condos suck. Too many great places are destroyed because of condos.

I use a 1993 Korg X-3 through a Roland Um-One MIDI interface with Native Instruments, nice heavy weight synth with great key action, it's a pleasure.

Reel to Reel, DAT or Cassette, anyone still using them? I'd like to pick up a 1" or 2" R2R some day while they're still around.

What a joke. Nobody who actually makes electronic music for a living would touch one of these things. Like DrBill said this is aimed at amateurs and wannabes who think they are going to be DJs or Calvin Harris - until they find out what really goes into it and that they need $30k more worth of analog gear and actual musical skills. It's a souped up version of the old Casio keyboards for the more sophisticated Apple generation. They fail to tell kids that they will have it on craigslist in two months along with 50 other college kids. They are harmless toys. If you want to be a successful electronic music producer/artist it takes years of work and attention to sound design to be successful and at the top. Just as it does in other areas of music. And when your sample library has well over 100,000 patches? Something like this couldn't help you find what you're looking for more easily? I don't care for small, lit up plastic synths either, I look at things like this from an organizational perspective. But something like this will get some interest from those young musicians that want to get into it.

I posted this here weeks ago and no one responded, I'm a big fan of their software, it's some of the best out there. It looks like this keyboard will speed up finding exactly what patch you're looking for. Komplete 10 has like 40 programs in it. I'm still using Komplete 5 with 12 programs (purchased in 2007) and still haven't touched half of it.

Bald guitarists get more resonance than people with hair.

I saw Yes about 5 years ago, Squires tone wasn't terribly gritty, he was going through an old SVT tube head with an 8x10 cab.

Always build everything around the vocal. They are called songs because they are sung. Singing is the number one priority in any song, any mix thereof. Everything else is framing around the vocal. Arrangements built around a great vocal are easy to mix because they never get in the way nor walk over it. Depends on the music, if it's progressive then the whole thing is arranged like an orchestration. Dream Theater for example will have 9 minutes of music and 3 minutes of vocals in a 12 minute song. Everything has an exact place it has to live.

We usually rehearse and get the song down before recording, or we try to anyway so everyone knows what to do when their turn comes up. Except the lead guitarist that never plays the same thing twice. If you're doing everything by yourself it makes it more difficult.. In that case I lay down the rhythm section first, then the vocals, at least that way you always have a solid foundation to work off of.
