Title: Ideas for (self) Christmas presents
Post by: alfstone on November 28, 2018, 05:27:07 PM
My idea, for guitar/ukulele/mandolin aficionados:


Alfredo

P.S. add your own ideas, please...  :)

Great topic idea, Alfredo!

This was mentioned on today's Sonic Talk podcast and I thought it was pretty cool. I've always wanted a drum kit but acoustic drums are much too loud for where I live and I don't really have the space for a full electronic drum kit. So this might be just the thing (if only I had some money). It's not cheap ($699 US (https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/StrikeMultiPad--alesis-strike-multipad) / £599 (https://www.dawsons.co.uk/alesis-strike-multipad-percussion-pad-with-sampler-and-looper)) but it's nice and compact and has some impressive features.

Sorry Alfredo I posted a little bit of the same subject before I saw your post for christmas

For Christmas, I asked Santa Claus for a Pierre Bensusan Signature Lowden guitar...we'll see if Santa Claus really exists!

this tuner looks nice...but the price is still 6 to 10 times higher than the current tuners
like Fender, Korg, Thoman...

For my part I found nothing more precise than the free ReaReatune Plugs ins delivered with REAPER DAW

Santa camera little early and brought me an Epiphone Riviera. It's a 1986 model without hardly a mark on it. I do believe this will be my last purchase as I am running out of wall space to hang any more, although never say never.
