Hello from the ATL! I'm an IT professional who during this pandemic, has started getting back into playing keyboards again and acquiring some gear to start my own home studio to record my own creations. I took classical piano lessons once a week from age 6 to around 17 years old. I played clarinet in band and then started fooling around with guitar, drums, and any instrument I can get my hands on. After college, I managed a record store and then later managed a couple of musical instrument stores before I got into IT. I've been in IT for over 20 years now and am counting down the years to retirement.
I love all different genres of music, but I always lean towards 80's New Wave/British Pop invasion/synth-wave.
Some of my fave all-time artists are: Prince, Duran Duran, Eddie Van Halen, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, Erasure, Cher, Madonna, Garbage, Lady Gaga. I prefer up-beat music that makes me feel good. I love OLD SCHOOL outlaw country like Waylon, Merle, Willie and Cash as well. I enjoy New Orleans R&B/jazz/zydeco as I'm originally from Louisiana. Mardi Gras music is always fun!
Here is my current gear:
I am here to get suggestions and ideas on the latest gear as well as how to connect all my MIDI gear to make the most of it. I've been "out of the loop" for so long in the music industry, I need to catch up on the trends and current gear. I used to attend the NAMM shows and miss it so much!
I'm looking for discussions on recording DAWs and how to correctly copyright and publish your own music.
Thanks!
