@boo - you've chosen some beautiful places there. If we had the cash, we'd have moved to a coastal or lochside cottage years ago. Independence or not - you'll be warmly welcomed sir.

I hope your move up here goes well, have you decided where you're going settle ? @warmvalves I can only imagine what a pain learning DAW software is like. I have a simple DAW on my iPad, that’s about...
