One result of 'old age' (at least for me) is how quickly we forget how to do things that we did routinely just a short time ago. This is especially true if you never learned it well in the first place ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/smile.gif) . That's the case with a stand-alone recorder (Tascam DP32SD) I bought on a whim a couple of years ago. After messing with it for a couple of days, I quickly decided that recording on the PC with REAPER + audio interface was ten times easier and faster with even better sound quality. I packed it up, put it in my storage room and it's been there every since until I decided I might want to record something on my new FP-e50 which is located in my office, not my studio. Pulled it out, unpacked it, and (operationally) drew a complete blank. Back to the manuals, YT tutorials, and occasional flashes of memory. In the process of learning it the first time, I recorded this tune, MY FUNNY VALENTINE (for those that might not recognize it ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/smile.gif) ), and left it on the machine. I don't remember much but I'm sure that's the SAX from my old (retired) PA1x-Pro. The sound is pretty lousy 'cause it's 16-bit, un-mixed, and un-mastered. I don't know why I decided to mix two lead instruments at the same time (probably just experimenting) but I thought it was kind of interesting so I decided to post it anyway. https://app.box.com/s/vdfzztenspwc641pjbrvix63pak1gqrlchas

Hey Chas, I love it and the ending with the organ was very tasty. Listening to it took me back to yesteryear in a smoky after hours joint.
Thanks for sharing Bernie

Damned, that sounds fantastic to me, Chas. I really enjoyed it, a lot of creativity went into it, and the final product really came out incredible. I can sing, but how I wish I had your playing skills. All the best, Gary ![cool cool](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/cool.gif)

The important thing is that we stay interested and involved. Sure, there's joy in discovery but re-discovery ain't bad either. It proves we can still have a synapse (takes at least TWO brain cells ![smile smile](/forum/images/graemlins/default_dark/smile.gif) ). I feel certain that MUSIC makes us better human beings. I feel a little sad for people that don't have it in their lives. BTW, I (we) love your 'always cheerful' outlook on things. chas Hi Chas, so true about staying involved. Hubby has his online video games, communicates with friends from all over the world , me, I’ve got my keyboards, might not be much of a musician, but I enjoy it anyway. Definitely agree that music makes us better human beings. Oh thank you, I do my best to try and stay cheerful, who wants to listen to a grouch . Haha.😀
