Been a while since I competed, but got best musician in Detroit cause people evidently were in the mood for a drum solo that night.
I picked up a Tascam 8 Track Digital PortaStudio with built in CD burner, a while back and a Synthesizer for writing all the instrumentals + instead of just forgetting the tunes I wake up with in the middle of the night-- I am putting together a radio ready demo CD.
It is so much fun to knit together these tunes into songs instead of just telling yourself:
"I'll remember this in the morning"
and then you go back to sleep and it is gone gone gone forever. Ever try to 'make' yourself remember anything?!
These little boxes have for less than $600.00 [ Sale Price $449.99 ] what used to take a half million dollars in studio equipment not too long ago to achieve to achieve a clean digital take.
Pretty soon we'll be able to have a band -- playing/practicing on the net across the country with the right setup and software-- they probably have it now...
