Been doing this for years, going through a variety of kit. Currently using Yamaha sounds and sequencing, Akai digital studio and a couple of FX boxes.  My music sounds crap, though. Seriously, don't listen if you have any taste. I'm not kidding. I just do this stuff because it pops up in my head and drives me crazy if I don't record it. It's a like having a bad radio station on 24/7, playing songs that i know aren't all that good, but which won't go away unless i record them. It's not bloody funny, you know.Used to be in a prototype grunge/garage band back in the 80s. Left just as grunge was kicking off - missed that boat big time. Oh yes. Didn't see that one coming at all. No, not me - had a clingy, bossy, materialistic girlfriend; left the music behind, got a sensible job. Ditched the soul-sucking witch a few years on, but not soon enough. Too late for the grunge gravy train, anyway. Actually sounded not too unlike early Nirvana, if you kind of closed your eyes and squinted at us. Dirty Earbash we were called.  Songs were mostly crap though - I helped write a lot of them. But, at least this stuff was written before radio ka ka stared playing behind my eyes.
