There's a few of us regulars around here but I'm noticing a lot of new faces/sounds as of late. So consider this a getting to know each other thread.

Let's answer a few basic questions and then add whatever else that would help us know more about you.

1) Where are you physically located?
2) What's you main instrument and what's your method of recording?
3) What other web sites do you share your music with people on?

Here's me.

[Edited 9/20/06 7:28am]

1. I live in New York, NY (Upper West Side).

2. Play keyboards as a hobby. Just started playing live in the last 2 years, and recently joined an R&B/Funk cover band.

I don't really record, rather focus on playing live.

My gear is all Yamaha (2 digital pianos and a motif classic 6).

I also have various drum machines I've collected (including a LinnDrum! which I never use).

I started bass about 10 years ago and want to go back to it but right now it's sitting in my closet with broken strings

3. Only shared music once on here, a song I wrote in college which made it to that Minneopolis sound compilation CD (I was very flattered!)

I just recently joined Myspace and may put up some stuff from my band at some point.

1) Detroit, MI
2) Violin mostly, but flute now and then. I mainly use ProTools--currently on a PC, but hopefully that will change to MAC soon. I mess around with Cakewalk SONAR and REASON on occasion.
3) I use my website and MySpace.

In addition to being a musician and private music teacher for flute and violin, I am also a licensed professional counselor. I have a private practice and I also work part-time at a local community college as a college counselor. More info about me can be found at my website (see my sig.)

We record using an AKAI MPC as a sequencer and a laptop with Cubase. At home I use Cubase and Reason and I have an electric guitar. Originally I am a drummer and I have been a singer in a rockband when I was a wee young lad.

Just curious : do you mean MySpace as a *whole* is not so valuable, or just not valuable to *you*??? Do you recommend anything else? My page there is relatively recent and so far has been helpful. I don't just approve everyone to be a "friend", I mainly approve people who are sympatico with my band's ideals.

Again, just curious!

1) Where are you physically located?
Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

2) What's you main instrument and what's your method of recording?
A Washburn J6 Montgomery guitar, A Boss GT-8 multi effect and Cubase SX w/ plugins.

3) What other web sites do you share your music with people on?
www.myspace.com/eurocinema
I'm at soundclick, UBL and others too, but this is the one I keep up to date.
