How Many Musicians are On Board ?

Are you a professional musician, semi-pro, wanna-be pro, or an at-home-messing-'round-in-my-spare-time player ?
Have you recorded your own compositions ?  Got samples online ?
What instrument(s) do you play ?
What instrument(s) do you wish you could play ?
Do you play Prog or another type ?

Guitar, Bass, Drums, Keyboards (Includes Piano and Organ), Working on Banjo, Ukelele, Mandolin, and Lap Steel

I don't have any programs to record, but i do remember all the riffs I have come up with.

wanna-be pro, and an at-home-messing-'round-in-my-spare-time player

bass, i can noodle around with guitars and piano based instruments but i wouldnt dare claim i can play at all.

at the moment its all for fun, but myself and a few friends are planning to get serious later this year, and with how much time i already devote to music, its going to be pretty serious.

That'll be me then - Hammond & Synth

I am a life-long music student - and have been in pro bands (ie, we got paid...), but mainly have only made music because I have to since age 4 or so. For whatever reason, I cannot leave music alone - I have to write, write about, play, study and listen to it as much as possible

I'm currently working with a work colleague who owns a PC/Sony Acid-based studio, around 11 keyboards, an Antares box and 2 Pod XT Pros.

We're getting better...

check out the "collaborators exchanges" section...Cert's got some great stuff there (under "Cert's Music", though a few of the links are no longer working) and I have three old recordings of mine in the "erratic output" thread.

I've been pretending to make music for decades...my first love is guitar, but I also have half-decent voice, bass, and keyboard skills (and a fascination for making noises with exotic instruments and electronic gadgets).

I used to play in bands quite a bit in my high school/ college days, but since then it's just been me and the PC. I use Sonar and Cubase as my main software, with Sound Forge for editing, and a buttload of plug-ins. I can also waste amazing amounts of time programming bizarre synth sounds (if I ever get a big old modular synth I may completely vanish from the outside world ).

Only the elite few can access these pages JamesLee!!!

So THAT'S why the record companies aren't knocking down my door...I knew it wasn't just my sloppy playing, weak songwriting, and poor production skills. 

Here they are for the masses, then:

Jack Straw (Dead cover)

I have some examples of my non-prog stuff here (look under the songs section) but the prog stuff only started again last year and we've only just begun to record the stuff. Rest assured however, I'll be a right royal pain in the arse when they are ready and make some overblown announcement in the er, 'Anouncements' thread.

I will be checking out my esteemed forum colleague's work this very evening.

BTW, do tell if the link doesn't work.

Works for me

I tried to check the link you provided Sigod, but I can't get it to shut down, I'm forever trapped in that ugly site, remind me never to go there again I'll have to shut down my computer and start anew, hate when these things happen I don't blame you Sigod, no let me refrase, I do blame you Sigod

Oh Tuxon, you wound me so with your verbal batterings....
