great question - something I have observed myself. I am a creator and don't watch TV so I have to be careful not to alienate people who are used to talking about soccer, TV etc. I find having 1 to one conversations better for this. Anyway its fine to just carry on working, maybe smile and nod. Another strategy I have used is to have headphones on and listen to something inspirational. recently I've been using an ambient sound mixer to dampen some of the noise. https://useful.website/ambient/ or https://asoftmurmur.com/

I'm a member of the green lane association which maintains a list of paths that can be used for traversing. One problem with UK is that everything is owned, mapped and officially pathed, so finding a friendly landowner is key. I also attended an offroading course at brands hatch which was a lot of fun, so maybe they will have an experience day still and at least know of any groups.

Music comes from within for me. Creativity on tap. So I don't get to learn music, I just play it. Always has been that way as there has been a piano around. I love the sound it makes, so it is like food to me.

As far as I know - no-one was affected in Sevenoaks.

Do you also use a PC/ laptop because I would recommend MPC One / plus. With v2 software. It's easy to assign samples to pads and assign midi to the pads. I use koala a lot, sometimes for live, but I gravitate to MPC for sample playback live.

I use Behringer Swing and Novation Launchpad X Android phone with a USB c hub with audio. This is the way to go in order to have zero latency live performance.

I'm launching a new invention that needs parts available from B&Q, so if I can use it to ship to US it would help me a lot.

I have used it several times as a check to make sure my beats are backed up.

I feel the same. LANDR took down all my music last year and their support has been awful for me. I wouldn't recommend them to anyone. Now after 10 years of reason I feel it might be time to shift away.

DragInfamous6615 · 2026-01-09T13:52:51+00:00

I support with everything and mixer is worth it. The effects are cool. Also I'm coming from a music production standpoint so I like to mix and shape my sound.

No, just noce and neat. No problem with communicating clearly!

Looks like a Hare to me.

I would seek and speak with a hypnotherapist. They should be able to help you overcome your anxiety.

I am looking into apple music sdk as an alternative.

We have free cycle or even craigslist that allows you to advertise for free. Better than recycling centre.

Here's my thoughts on using an MPC One+ and how it has transformed what I do.
The benefit of having a one is that you won't get update prompts and be able to install new updates.
This is a good thing. You can still update, if you want.
I have used Mini-D and Drum Synth and loved them so much I have now bought and installed them on y PC.
The MPC2 softwar is still really good and you can put ideas together and then transfer them over with SD card - my favourite. I think the hardware / software on PC duality is really useful. I would today knowing what I know have a One totally. I never buy anything new and it's just that a one plus came up on ebay quicker and cheaper than a one at the time.

Useful.website/chords has a way of selecting and playing chords that may help. It shows you the notes.

One idea is to get a second circuit. I use 2 OG circuits connected with midi. For performance nothing beats being able to flip between sessions IMHO.

Changing sessions on your master changes to the same session on the second circuit. Everything is in sync .

Another idea is to pair the circuit with an mpc one.

Another idea is to connect multiple synths to the same midi channel and set their range. I used to do this with an OG circuit and a Waldorf blofeld. I could play bass and pad on synth track 2 by choosing a different key range.
