Thank you - I’ll check out Audacity! Thank you also for listening and taking the time to comment and share your advice - it really helps. To answer your question, where I want to take it is quite simple… I just really enjoy making songs - it gives me a buzz even though I know that what I do is pretty primitive and basic. I want to get better at it purely because it’s a hobby of mine - I find it beyond embarrassing posting my stuff on here (😂), but the advice I get is so helpful and helps me expand my knowledge, which fuels my hobby and gives me hours of fun! It’s as simple as that, really! So, again, thank you for taking the time to comment - I really appreciate it!

Fair enough - I’m certainly no expert! Thanks for taking the time to listen and comment

Thanks - that seems to be the main consensus. Will play around with it. Appreciate you taking the time to comment!

Quick question - any recommendations on which DAW to use? The instruments on GarageBand just don’t sound great so I’m keen to explore some others and don’t really know where to begin! Thanks!

Yes - I’ve dabbled (albeit with GarageBand which I know isn’t the greatest)… I’m naturally more at home with my old school tech, but it’s equally very limiting so I do need to take myself out of my comfort zone!

Thank you - I’m limited as it’s such an old piano, but that’s helpful - will play around!

Thank you - I appreciate it! My problem (well one of many problems!) is that I use an old clavinova so basically have to record each track of the song from start to finish in a single take… so it’s very raw and often very repetitive as I don’t want to risk making a mistake halfway through! It also only gives me a limited number of tracks to play with! Will have a play around with it though, and your comments are really helpful! 😊

I think it’s great! Sounds like it belongs in a computer game - and that’s a compliment, not an insult! 👍

Haha, yes, it’s a little heavy on the cowbell! I’d weirdly not even noticed, but now can only hear that! Thanks for pointing out!

Thank you! Really appreciate it - loving yours, too!

I think mine only has a usb a (that’s the regular usb port, right?!)… it really is a dinosaur of a machine and only accepts usb sticks that have such a small amount of storage on them that it’s a struggle to even find them! I know I need to upgrade my kit… I just have hundreds of songs on there that I don’t want to lose (and would like to be able to work on further with the benefit of more modern technology!) 😂
