A real smack-your-head moment!
I am a fairly recent lurker with the occasional post, but, yes, of course, introducing oneself makes perfect sense and is a lot more polite than the lurk.
I am a full time pro musician, freelancing in NYC and now Philly.
Toured and Touring with Various and Sundry Rogues.
You name it, I've played it! (Both gear-wise and style-wise)
My heart is in any Groove-Based Music, Jazz, Funk, Soul, R+B (the REAL Rhythm and Blues) Gospel, Afrobeat, any African, Eastern or Afro-Carribean based music.
My setup right now is a Nord Stage Compact, MacBook Pro (with Logic,Live, Komplete 7, Minimonsta, M-Tron, Pianoteq and Omnisphere) QSC K12's (maybe soon 10's or 8's and hopefully Mark's ashly linemixer!)
I have found the people in this forum to be most generous and helpful with their knowledge and time and I would like to contribute in any way possible, time and professional commitments notwithstanding.
