Musician, Artist and Dreamer.
I play guitars . . . electric, acoustic and bass. I also dabble in keyboards (for organ, synth and drum sounds) and sing as best as I can. Nowadays I record into a Zoom R-24 Audio Workstation and transfer the resulting Wav. files into an ancient version of Adobe Audition for mixing and mastering. It seems to work at the moment...not ideal but hey, this is just a fun filled hobby and not a full time job or career. So, fun is the driving force here. It's neither hi-fi or lo-fi...it is what it is. All the music that I create by myself, goes by the name of Major Snagg, Big Sleep, is the 'band name' of the music that I co-created, with my Friend, Tony Webster. As of 2020 Big Sleep is having a rather big sleep!...l hope that it hasn't gone to sleep permanently... The Lykes Of Wytch, is my imaginary 'Psychedelic' band. Originals, plus 'classic' and 'fabulously obscure' covers. My own 'Psychedelic Nuggetts' Imaginarium...is also in hibernation at the moment... The Valiant B's, is the name of the recordings I made several years ago for the now closed, Coconut Blues Club. Creating music isn't something that I can just turn on and off...it's something that I do...something that I like to do and feel compelled to do...it's FUN...when it stops being that, I'll probably stop...for a week or so...

Sounds sensible to me, that you postponed the Windows upgrade. If you mainly use your computer for music, that will probably work fine for you. There are other things like apps and a new user interface, that you will not be able to use, but you should be fine. At least until Microsoft announce that they will no longer support Windows 10.. They have a history of doing stuff like that.

I'm working on a Brit-Pop kind of a tune right now...but I keep getting interrupted by my mostly dull and ordinary life...this song will be mixed and on my page soon...well I hope so. I'm not moving up to Windows 11. It really sucks...so I'll be using Windows 10 for as long as it continues to give me what I need from it. I've just upped my virus protection instead...oh, and of course, I'm very careful in what I look at on line. I'm a pretty boring elderly gentleman now, so titties and such like aren't, 'uppermost' ;) in what I look at...it's mostly guitars and music related stuff these days.

Hi David. I hope you got through upgrading Windows without too much trouble! Thank you for your nice comment on "Autumn Chill", David! Don't worry about taking your time. I am not always that fast to comment on others myself. Usually I will "do the round" and see what my contacts have come up with and comment on it. But it may be that some of their songs have been up for a while :0)

Hey David, another recommendation for our Thursday Music Club (even tho it's Monday...lol!) https://open.spotify.com/track/443dneQ3Dv7KJMyKlzv3Rp?si=1f34cc743e6845e0 - they're Australian and were emo before they toned it down understanding there was a larger audience if they did that, lol! I think they're brilliant, check 'em out if you get a mo - they ain't Iva Davies but they're cool (Dig Iva & Icehouse btw!!)

That is fine, David. Happy upgrading! It can be a bitch sometimes...

Great recommendation mate, that band's seriously good and rock! - they remind me a bit of a looser Michael Penn with that whole tenor vox, punchy music, Weezer inspired southern Cali sound, so distinct to LA musicians, - must be that the west coast has the sunshine and the girls all get so tanned, who doesn't dig a french bikini on Hawaiian island dolls by a palm tree in the sand...lol - Cheers mate, have added them to my Spotify artists library (getting more varied with these shares, thanks for that!) Have a great day!

Good luck with the upgrade! I hate having to upgrade anything, always takes ages to get my settings back to the way I like them. So much software these days becomes obsolete if you have to make changes. Hope your Adobe is straightforward.
