As my Miele washing machine says to me every time I turn it on: Willkommen. 
Yo @Bubba. I did it for three years in high school, a very long time ago now.
@Bubba wo kann ich den Song hören?

Finally, I'd just like to say hello to @Alison since she's introduced me to you!
Yeah me too. Amazing how things you learn when you're about 13 stick with you... Einmal. (separate topic - do you ever really move on from the music you loved as a teenager?)
Three languages, you said.... English, German, and .... ???annikajayne wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 5:51 pm Wow, thanks for the great reception!
Wow - ich hätte nicht gedacht, dass hier einige deutsch sprechen
But I guess I'll continue in English!
@JD01 Don't worry about it...German is an incredibly hard language! Prost!
@CrowsofFritz - I've never worked with anything else but Cubase, so wouldn't have anything to compare it with. Which DAW are you using?

@WhiskeyJack - I think we'll be needing a red wine smiley for the collection...annikajayne wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 6:15 pm French. It's been my passion for a long time now. Hence the red wine, lol!
What a fun story!!Armistice wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 6:11 pm My schoolboy German really got useful (wasn't much good in actual Germany as most people spoke English and put me out of my misery early) when I was in Italy trying to get a room in a pensione. I didn't speak Italian and the woman running the place didn't speak English, but I think we both did German at school ... Haben sie ein Zimmer bitte? Ja! Or something like that. Long time ago.
I’ve used most DAWs out there: Pro Tools, Cubase, Studio One, Digital Performer, GarageBand, Logic, etc.annikajayne wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 5:51 pm @CrowsofFritz - I've never worked with anything else but Cubase, so wouldn't have anything to compare it with. Which DAW are you using?
I think @HatfieldCreek uses Reason for his tracking perhaps? I think maybe he is also one of the few outliers here that uses Apple hardware too? Or maybe he built a Hackintosh? I can't really remember? Something like that though.CrowsofFritz wrote: ↑Mon Oct 25, 2021 7:32 pm Reason is mostly for people doing electronic dance music, so I’m a bit of an outlier using it for indie folk.
Oh, Annika! so happy you have joined this group of wonderful misfits! So happy you have joined this group! They are a treasure trough of great information!annikajayne wrote: ↑Sat Oct 23, 2021 3:11 pm Hello,
my name is Annika Jayne. I'm an indie singer-songwriter from Heidelberg, Germany, writing and singing in three languages. I've already released a few EPs, singles, and two albums, and have been recording from home since early 2020. I use Cubase Artist and know enough to make decent recordings with it but I'm sure there's a hack or two I could learn.
Nice to meet you all!
Ahem...
