Both my guitars have issues right now but I have a musician friend around the block who'll let me borrow one of his guitars to finish the album...mostly leads! Bill

Hey Craig, it's about 200-300 a year....strictly streaming income...maybe if I took the time to self promote I can get that number up...after I'm retired I will Gonna get into video as well, I have some basic 2d and 3d skills... Bill

I get quarterly payments from CDBaby...not enough to buy a Latin America country but more than enough to starve on First release was 6 years ago and the second was 3 years ago....working on finishing the third release and looking to retire at the end of the year so gonna try moving from a release every 3 years to every year....and maybe some promotion too! Bill

Yikes! I won't touch anything under 320bit but I don't use streaming services Bill

I haven't seen a 128bit Mp3 in years...it's usually at 320bit or 320bit VBR. Don't forget Sony Betamax was smaller than VHS and stereo early on but people still preferred VHS. Bill

I use this for file transfers from PC to Android and vice versa from my phone...I've never used a cable - CX File Explorer Bill

I use Falcon to host the Ravenscroft Bill

Rick Wakeman...one of the two reasons why as a keyboard player I play guitar Bill

I'm a one man do everything setup so my parts are performances and my performances are parts I get what Craig is saying and I agree...just not as cut and dried as I'd like my process to be! Bill

I have my plugins and instruments sorted by company in Nuendo...next stop is sorting into categories in each folder I've been working like this for a few years now so the next sort might be a while away Bill

No comps here, if it's no good it gets tossed and I try again Bill

Believe it or not, not every PC comes from Walmart at 300.00 I spent quite a bit on a build last year and it is fairly powerful....i91200k running at 5.2ghz, 128gb of RAM, dual Lan, TB4, USB 3.2 and 2, room for 4 ssd and 8hdd...yadda yadda. Do the work and you can have a killer machine! So far I have tried running 4-6 instances of Diva in "God Mode" and it doesn't break a sweat Bill

Mono 6 string guitar played three times with three different pickup settings panned L, R, and C. Center channel is more for a simplified version of the rhythm at a lower volume. All three tracks are sent to a stereo Guitar Buss for compression, delay, verb, etc. 12 string guitar I record stereo each pickup setup at L67, R67, C. 12 string tracks go to a 12 String Stereo Buss for the same reasons as the 6 string. Bass Guitar is mono and centered. Drums...bass, snare, toms, and hihat are mono..crash cymbals, room and OH mics are stereo. Kick centered, Snare slightly right, etc. to place the dums in a listener position. Drums go to a stereo Drum Buss that has 2 FX Sends to seperate Compression(crushed!) and Reverb Busses. Bill

Here you go-

No I have 2 separate SSDs, a 1TB for Windows, Programs, plugins. etc. and a second 2TB drive for my projects. I also use 4 hdds for sample libraries and an external for backup until I burn to bluray. All told I'm sitting on 18TB of room I can add 2 more SSD's to the motherboard or 1 SSD and 4 more hdds...not worried about space here Bill
