Yeah take your time to peruse around, there's a browser too where you can pick up the plugins manually.

Try Proch For more info check this guy

I think they have two plugin sections, I think those are under the PRO tab

He looks like Charlie from Lost

In all honesty it wasn't a walk in the park for me to sell it to my band but after some convincing they decided to try it out and they now are glad we went that way. I remember that after the first rehearsal the singer commenting that it was the first time in a long time her voice was not affected after a rehearsal.

Isn't it cheaper and easier to just buy a Jamhub and a used e-drums kit and rehearse at home? that way you spend your money in beer and snacks? We did that and: - Haven't missed playing and hauling our gear around - Never looked back as once you get used to the headphones everything is better and your singer won't end up voiceless and your neighbours will not hate you. - You can rehearse anywhere at anytime for as long as you need it.

Yeah even if you won't use it as your main DAW only the plugins are worth the install.

Yes as I said it's back and now the Platinum version is totally free here (Only Windows) https://cakewalk.bandlab.com/

Another great piece of kit, the pres are great too which was my main concern but they are darn good.

Now that's a great piece of gear.

Yes I've seen the reviews and to be honest I wasn't very impressed, for that money I can get something better.

The pads are more pressure sensitive which means you don't need to bash them to produce sound, great built even though it is plastic, great key response and the pitch/bend works great with that joystick. What not to love about it. Forgot to mention drivers are up to date so no problems with W10.

Akai MPK Mini II is the way to go, £74 in Amazon and cheaper second hand on eBay.

I have the Behringer UCM22 which is the metal cased one with better preamps and it sounds very good. I got the Focusrite Saffire 6 which will tick all your boxes for £40 second hand on Ebay. I know it is an older interface but as everything Focusrite it will work forever with no issues.

XpressPads provides a complete course on finger drumming and I think their technique is even more impressive. I met a guy who took the course and now he's recording his own drums (he's not at the level of the guy in the demo but he's doing quite well I must say). BTW the guy is a guitar player who has never seat on a drum kit. Here's a bit more explanation of the technique

In my humble opinion, if you want to learn to read music for bass purposes and haven't been making much progress then I would recommend looking into Takadimi which is an Indian rhythm method which teaches notes grouped by their rhythmic value.

In case you need any help recording your band in Reaper, Kenny Gioia has your back.

That's not the words, it happened to me in Venezuela where a friend invited me to dinner with his family and at the table I asked his youngest sister if I could have a spoon and suddenly a deafening silence and after receiving what seem like an eternity of stares I asked if I said something wrong...

Yes but when they turn spoon into vagina there's no winning.

Actually Peruvians & Colombian have the closest to what is considered classic spanish, the same can't be said about my natal dominican republic. SMH

Tell me bloody about it, I got some funny stories of my travels to Venezuela, Mexico and Puerto Rico with some normally innocent words that mean something sexual in those countries

Dude I don't know you but I was actually born and bred in a spanish speaking country so don't take it from me. In latin america which is her closest spanish speaking area lana is slang for money. So for Mcnach being spanish lana would just mean wool.

Actually is meant to be a "money from the king", yours is a literal translation which really doesn't make any sense.
