There are now TWO versions of Logic Pro, one is part of their subscription model that has recently been released, Apple Creator Studio (https://www.apple.com/uk/apple-creator-studio/) and one is the pay once version (https://www.apple.com/uk/logic-pro/) The Creator Studio has AI stuff that the pay once version doesn't. I have no idea what value this other stuff is. I already have and paid for Logic Pro, Final Cut Pro, Compressor, Main Stage, Affinity Photo/Designer/Publisher along with MS Office (which I must have for work) so for me, it makes little sense to get the subscription. Certainly all my Apple apps get updated at regular intervals so I'm happy with what I have. Rob

Not in my book. I have a Mod Dwarf and a ToneX and sometimes (always?) I spend far too long chasing down a sound that only exists in my head, that I can't work out how to use all the presets to get what I'm after and what I should have done is simply turn the amp on, plug in and play. I get too attached to the rabbit holes and I wonder what this does, and what that does and spent hours reading and exploring and then come back to what the original preset was set to. Other people are far cleverer and better players than me, so they may have a very different perspective.

Start with GarageBand and learn the basics first. GB is very very good, and you will avoid some of the complexity of Logic Pro. Focus on playing and recording rather than worrying about some of the more complicated features that Logic Pro offers. You can spend days messing with LP rather than playing and recording in GB. There's so much in GB and as has already been said, one you outgrow GB it's simple to open your work in LP and carry on. I jumped into LP and I should have stayed with GB for longer. Also one is free.

Nice....

What amp do you use to drive the Monza with from the Bassrig please?

I had that but it seems to work from phone or at least I think it did. The next page is a bit confusing and made me think it didn't work.

Subscribed. Was hoping to be subscriber #1 but suspect I missed that one. Rob

Finally have finished all the routing for Speakon connectors and handles. Sides, top and bottom already glued, Now doing front and rear glueing and clamping. Next steps tomorrow, let the glue cure overnight, a bit of filler (ahem), sanding down, put a 6mm curve on the edges with the router, two layers of smooth Armacab on all external surfaces, one top layer of textured Armacab but masking off any rebated areas, measure for black 3d printed corners, print them overnight as eight hours , assemble all and test for Sunday (hopefully).

I wish I hadn't seen this.... Ideas, ideas, ideas..... First time I've seen a guitarist that really, really, needs safety goggles.... Basically its an offensive weapon I could also have told him that he couldn't make it from plastic

Don't let the door hit you on the way out...

That's great. Just let me know

I think you are right here, it's very sad that AI is creating electronic music that most people think sounds 'real'. The genie is out the bottle now, and people who are desperate for clicks on social media will be in a race to the bottom to use it. There is a whole generation of people who live on social media and will do anything to get those clicks. Witness people blowing up Ferraris or doing other stupid 'stunts' to get attention. Perhaps the "Dog and Duck" will be the centre of the fightback for real music, but I somehow doubt it. On the plus side, both my daughters love live music and want to go to gigs, they then buy the music for the band or singer, they love the live element of it all. Whilst they may be in a minority, most of their friends seem to be the same, and they will continue to keep going to gigs so long as the price is right (apologies for the pun). They have introduced me to new music, though I have to say that Kneecap is not my idea of a good time, but I can't imagine I'm their target audience

?

Attendees @rwillett - A couple of 3d printed basses or guitars, this will encourage me to finish my next two off. A couple of 8" Basschat cabinets. Might be interesting to try these with other peoples amps. One is quite loud, not quite finished the other one so not sure quite how loud they go. Since I'm about 100m away, I might bring anything or everything. Might even bring and setup a 3d printer if people are interested. If there is any interest and you need something thats more than a few hours to print, let me know well in advance. @neepheid @Frank Blank @Stub Mandrel - TBC @zbd1960 - TBC @ead - For some reason prefers Iceland (the country) to the Yorkshire Dales @ossyrocks @lee650 @80Hz @peterjam - TBC Lots of TBC's so hopefully we can firm up on numbers. So as you confirm, please add any equipment you might be bringing and update this. Would like to @rwillett Love to play some older basses to see what they are really like preferably with some old school valve amp heads. Would also love to play around with some amp modellers (I already have a Mod Dwarf and a ToneX) to see how they sound in comparison.

Just seen this in a data feed https://www.musicradar.com/music-tech/native-instruments-has-been-placed-in-preliminary-insolvency Doesn't look good Rob
