I’ve been using PT for a couple of decades. When my MacBook Pro eventually dies I’ll be moving to Logic, since it’s significantly cheaper than the protools subscription model. I bought a perpetual license about 5 years ago, when the subscription thing came out, but there are some plugins than only work if you have a current subscription, so it’s a bit of a con really.

As a Pro Tools user I can honestly say that I can't recommend it. The software itself is amazing - editing is a breeze, and the sound of the audio engine is great. The annoying thing is that it doesn't come with a great deal of virtual instruments, but the deal-breaker is the astronomical fee for the software - especially the ludicrous 'subscription' debacle. You're far better off going for Cubase, Logic or Reaper etc... as regards value for money.

I'll see you, and rain you Led Zeppelin I and Led Zeppelin II!

Yes. Yes it is. I really like ‘Rock Steady’ though - ND with Sly and Robbie at the helm with a smattering of Prince dropped into the mix? Yes please!

Faith No More’s debut ‘Introduce yourself’ is dog stinky poo, their next effort ‘The Real Thing’ is amazing!

Stevie Wonder's 'I just called to say I love you' The Cure's 'Friday I'm in love'

And earn more money.

Sounds like a challenge...

I get bra ads too but not tena products, even google knows that there are plenty of people already taking the pi55 out of me.

Nice, nothing like a bit of filth on a Friday afternoon.

The album that really got me into Zappa, after hearing bits that my brother played was 'Broadway the hard way' - recorded on Zappa's final world tour - the most accessible Zappa I've found, if anyone fancies dipping their toes into a wonderful but vast canon of work.

the problem could be that you're running an active bass - they have a wildly different impedance than passive basses, and some pedals just don't play well with them - looking at you ZVEX Wooly Mammoth - have you tried running a buffer e.g. a Boss pedal in bypass mode in front of it, or trying it with a passive bass?

Curious choice of pup positions- rickenbacker ‘oof’ from the neck, but I’m a bit worried about how the bridge pup will sound.

Last ‘recent’ song I heard where the bassline hooked me was ‘Don’t Start Now’ by Dua Lipa.

The gold standard of BPM is staying with it, knowing where the ‘one’ is and looking good whilst doing it. pick any two.

Does it come with ‘fighting drummer’ - the one that kicks off when playing Stones covers?

This. Others have reported very good things about the TC Electronics MojoMojo pedal on bass, so that might be a good place to start. Up at the other end of the budget spectrum the BJFE Blueberry is a wonderful piece of kit too.

Might not be the drummer’s fault; how many times have you played ‘Brown Sugar’ and locked in with the drummer, only to have the guitarist rush the rhythm part? my answer is ‘all of them’.

This thread is worthless without sound!!!

Oof! So, to sum up: oof! 😮

Björk’s Biophilia album. 🥰
