What kind o > music are you playing and how did you get interested in music in gerneral? When I play music, the music I play often sounds like classic rock, and sometimes folk music (and indeed, I often like to try to play songs that were originally done by classic rock groups). I also like to play electronic music. Those have always been two of my favorite music genres, including classic rock bands such as The Beatles, Paul McCartney, Pink Floyd, The Doobie Brothers, Dire Straits/Mark Knopfler, Rush, and others. Growing up, I was also exposed to some electronic music (created using synthesizers) and grew to enjoy that type of music too. In addition, I also enjoy listening to 80s music, some alternative, and also what is often referred to as "adult contemporary" (which usually consists of soft rock and soft pop). > I used to play bass in our school band but never really became a professiona > musician.

That's cool. :) I've been playing guitar (usually by myself) for about 16 years, and more recently I've also started playing piano/synthesizers more. I've occasionally done some song recording on my computer (I even wrote my own multi-track recording software as a senior project in college), but I've also used GarageBand and really enjoy using that software. I also have a Roland Juno-G synthesizer, which features a multi-track recorder that lets you record up to 16 MIDI tracks and 4 regular audio tracks in a song. More recently I think I've been playing my synthesizer more often than my guitars. :) Nightfox --- þ Synchronet þ Digital Distortion: digitaldistortionbbs.com .
