I guess it's my turn.
Hi, My name is Jay, and I'm a keyboard player (everyone says, in unison - Hi Jay). I have been aound this site on and off for a few years, but I took the internet off my computer after a few devastating crashes, and am using the one at work (don't tell the boss).
My musical interests are rock - in all of it's glorious forms, especially arena rock (a la Skorpions/Bon Jovi/Def Lepard), art rock (a la Kansas/Rush/Toto) progressive (a la Happy the Man/Dream Theater/Spock's Beard).
I also love contemporary classical-ish stuff, and really appreciate (don't laugh) John Tesh's stuff.
I have found a lot of instrumental pieces that appeal to me, and like stuff by a wide variety of artists in many styles.
Anyway, my gear has changed through the years (starting in the mid 80's) began as a DX7, DX27, MT32, Matrix 1000, Juno1, TR505, RX7, QX7, and has morphed through the years into a workable studio that includes:
Alesis QS8.1, QSR with most of the QCards, D4;
Korg 01w/pro, Wavestation SR and M3R;
Kurzweil K2000 with all the toys;
still have the Oberheim Matrix 1000 (black one);
Yamaha TX7 hooked to a Peavey Spectrum Analog Filter;
a home-made 1.3GHz, 512Mb PC running:
Sonar 2.2XL, Sound Forge 6, Acid Pro 4, Pro 52, B4, Plex, Reaktor, LM4, Battery, T-Racks, and just downloaded the Reason demo, sounds cool, and looks easy to use.
I currently play in my church's worship band, and have played in a touring Christian rock band known as Sojourner (based out of Baltimore).
I also do work for some local radio stations and PBS.
Just thought I'd drop a line. BTW, the e-mail address went with my service, it is no longer applicable. I can be reached at jay.neubauer@us.army.mil. Noo, I'm not in Iraq, darn!!. Not that I have anything special to offer, but that's what I'm trained for.
