I plan to get .02" polycarbonate sheets to make sun shades. I have fifty different colored markers for designs.

The outdoor recording studio is coming together. The $400 laptop comes from Taiwan in 6 days. San Gregorio beach is calling my name. The 6 lb guitar, the 6 lb beach chair, and the 7 lb laptop with accessories are anxiously awaiting. Every November, 1000 50 foot Alaskan whales go by San Gregorio to S...

John Lennon said that (while he had $10,000,000 in the bank)

All I need is these

They say the money is mine...

Just got approval from the Finance Minister (wife) for the $400 Amazon Laptop. Getting close to launch day.

Damnation, I just found out in the small print this laptop has Windows 11 Home, not full. Does anyone know if Reason 12 runs on Windows 11 Home?

here's the Sh-amazon link, and it includes a 1 TB SSD.

It seems to be a medium quality laptop from Taiwan. But $400 is the most I want to spend.
It also needs a teal backpack:

Here's a Pelican sound and I raised or lowered them to create notes.

This is where I'm headed with Reason 12 (San Gregorio, 30 miles west of me). And dvdrtldg is right, the pelicans, sea lions, and whales are too loud.

Oops, the $300 Acer laptop won't run Reason because it only has Windows 11 Home, not the full Windows. Gotta pay $100 more to get an Acer with full Windows 11. However, $400 to compose in the woods is still worth it.

This Acer/AMD laptop is $300 at Amazon, allowing me to build a Reason 12 recording system that fits in a backpack. Wow, composing on the front porch, at the beach, and in the woods!

Feels like Jimi is still around. I pick up my Strat several times a week to compose. I hate the drug dealers who killed him.

Reason 12 is stunning. The depth and clarity, the doors open to anywhere.

Deep African feelings. All music comes from Africa, as do all people. I just looked again at the faces of people from Botswana. It's a shock to see every type of person in their eyes and smiles. This music is like that, deep and wide. Nice to see where you're from. I left for America from Southhampt...

I woke up this morning with this music pounding away in my head. Let's hope the words come tonight.

Reason 12 can do 1969 very well

Finally got the Waubaby wah into Reason 12 on my new Mac mini

Excellent work

What is an accurate description for the genre? The drums and the synth are deep house, but the other instruments are not. https://soundcloud.com/john-richards/red-sounds I renamed the genre "Groove" on SoundCloud. My musical background is Cream, Hendrix, Miles, and McLaughlin, so "groove" sums it up.

After listening to "Anything For Your Love" from the "Winter of '88" album, it reminded me Johnny was one of the greatest guitarists of all time. I saw him play in 1969, with the 3 twin reverbs and the Gibson Firebird.

Gotta put a solo bass track over this. The small fretless bass with gold strings will do nicely

The number of songs in the ObjektChallenge is now 150 !! And there's still one day left. Incidentally, the song quality is off the charts. Listening to the depth of the past 24 hours of submissions is hard to describe. It's like a new band was formed. When these Reason composers hook up with the new...

There are now 119 songs posted on the Objekt Challenge website, and the few recent ones are very serious and wonderful. Only two days left to post. Some of the heavyweights have yet to submit. The top 30 are like an amazing double album from 1969, or more precisely, from 2043. https://reasonstudios....
