Hello All - Newbie here Name: purpix1 Location: Minneapolis, MN Music: Classic Rock, Blues, Metal and just about anything else EXCEPT RAP (sorry, Geezer here - I come from an era when music meant actual instruments, actual vocals performed live), but I digress. Band: Ex-working musician (part-time), currently jamming and recording with my 28 yr. old son. Gear I would most like to have: Am currently learning to play drums. I have a Yamaha electronic set but would love a new high end set. Maybe a Roland or Alesis kit. As for guitar, I would love to be able to afford a new authentic, true Strat. You know, the expensive ones! Oldest gear: My old $199.00 japanese Strat. Bought years ago before they started calling them Squiers. Have since replaced with a new PRS Santana SE. Love it! But still want a true Strat. Most used guitar: My PRS Santana SE Recording gear/software: Just recently purchased the Eleven Rack bundle, so I am now using Pro Tools, but also have Presonus Studio One and an Audiobox 22VSL. Mac mini - core i7 - 16gb - M-Audio BX5 monitors. VOX VT40+ amp. My son plays a PRS Grand Am SE through an Orange CR60. Other Gear: Yamaha DX430K Drum Set, Simmons DA50 drum amp, Yamaha PSR E443 keyboard. Eleven Rack Impression: Love the zero latency! Still new to the rack though so still working through all the presets deciding which I like best, and in general still learning how to use it. Sounds fantastic though. Think I'm really gonna like it. I can remember the days when your choice in stomp boxes or effects were limited to a FuzzFace and maybe a CryBaby wah! So all these buttons, knobs and presets are a little overwhelming.
