Recording Music

I have a modest home recording studio. Most of the music I produce is electronic, using a number of synthesizers and sound modules. I also still play guitar, mainly Folk and Blues. I became interested in music at a very early age, getting my first guitar, a very inexpensive acoustic, when I was ten. Around 1966, I changed this for a used Selmer Futurama 3 electric guitar (c. 1963 vintage, with the white push-buttons and six-on-a-side headstock), and then added a mid-1960s Hofner 449 (Congress) acoustic. Soon after I left home in 1968, I sold them both to buy a Landola acoustic that finally gave out in 2008 with a warped neck! I certainly got good value out of it. I bought my first Yamaha keyboard in around 1986. It was not very good, in retrospect. Still, I used it for recording in a very primitive studio I setup in my Barnes apartment. Soon after, once I had my first home PC, I built my first basic MIDI based setup using a soundcard and a Kawai MIDI keyboard. Finding this totally inadequate, I bought my first synthesizer, a Yamaha MU80 which I still own. A couple more followed, and then the whole lot moved to the US and has continued to expand.
