I'm using Reaper. I pay for the license whenever they exceed the projected Updates. I think it's 6.03 now and I'm good to 7.0 it works out to about $60 a year. I've always used Reaper so I'm comfortable with it and I like it. Never heard anybody say "you know that doesn't sound like Pro Tools" lol
Logic Pro looks like a bad ass program, it comes with a lot of usable sounds. And reasonably priced.
I use a Fender Blues Deluxe that's been hot rodded a bit. I built an iso room under my stairwell and installed wall plates to run speaker cable in and mic cables back to my interface, PreSonus 1810C. Miked with a Sure 57. Toon Track Drums and keys. Alesis 42 midi controller. Ibanez TMB100 bass. 18 guitars, Teles, Strats, Les Paul, Washburn, Takamine, National Resonator, and a Banjo.
I play harmonica also and a little mandolin. An assortment of mics but I really like my new addition the Gauge ECM 87. My 10 year old computer is due to be replaced but Hey, it still works

I have a dedicated room downstairs with it's own full bath lol. Maybe TMI lol
I would agree now that you mention it, "No Way Out" is more of a cue than Tension. I was thinking that it had an investigative feel so that's where that label came from. I'm not really very versed in the Tension realm and over this last few months I have realized it ain't bag right now. So I am interested in what kind of spin you would add to it. Would you want me to send you tracks in Drop Box or some thing? If I sent the midi files would you want to clean up the keyboard articulation? I have a collaborators agreement if you would want to look that over, 50/50 would be the splits. Bm G7 is correct, with the F# single notes going into G. It could have a B section that would stab B - A (3 4) F#G F#G if that makes sense. But I'm really open to other ideas
Yes the flu and cold has been going around, I had a bout with the flu 2 weeks ago, I thought I was gonna die.
It sounds like you are fortunate enough to do music full time?
Unless things change I'm still doing the day job for 2 or 3 more years. I'm a Kronos IT slash Payroll Manager at Geiger Ready Mix. They gave me a new title "Human Resources System Information Specialist" That's code for the guy who does the shit nobody else wants to do

I hope you feel better and we'll talk soon
