Thanks Paul. :-)

Thanks Bongo. Was a lot of hard work doing this and there's definitely a few things I could do better, but I'm quite please with it :-)

Not something I ever want to go through again :-) But was worth all the stress...I think :-)

I really like doing it this way but im finding it quite tricky. Working on another track today (Depeche Mode). So many things keep going wrong but Im slowly sussing things out. Yamaha have been great with the advice but it only goes so far because I cant really expect them to help me with Logic Pro...but im almost ready to record my next track. Im attempting Photographic by DM :-)

@leeabakermusic I don't think people realise how much work goes into it, it took me a good 6 months to learn the basics, I'm now a few years in and still learning but loving it. You can tell the difference from my early songs to my newest ones lol. I've played the keyboard for years but could never finish a song like I can now with all the added tracks on top including drums, strings, orchestral elements, etc.

Im having to look at building myself a new desk...its been a struggle using the Genos 2 to its full extent...cant reach the mod wheel cause theres a chimney breast in the way :-) It'll be a summer project I think.

​@leeabakermusic I'm using a quiklok z 716 stand it fills it completely but it's a perfect fit.

Im really impressed with it. It's taking me a while to get used to and learn all the different functions but im really enjoying using it.

Using the DAW does certainly add something different and definitely worth trying, but you'll probably find you run into various issues when setting up. Ive spent another hour or so with Yamaha on another issue but eventually we sorted it. I have my fingers crossed im all set up now, but the beauty of it all is that the Yamaha Tech Support is really good. Every time Ive called with a problem they've been great. :-) But once it's all set up it opens up new options. Im currently working on a Status Quo track and playing the guitar as they did/do isnt easy by hand on the keyboard and im still in the experimenting stage but hopefully I'll get the sound im after via the DAW...

Thanks Lee...keep us informed @@leeabakermusic

Thanks :-) Ive been on it all day trying to suss out a few DAW connection issues but hopefully it's all sorted now...certainly a big learning curve, but all fun :-)

Thanks. So much to learn but hopefully lots of people to take inspiration from :-)

For me, the best era. Think im possibly still stuck in the 80s :-)

@leeabakermusic You sound like me...I always say I'm stuck in the 80's too...lol

Definitely :-)

Just for you I will do haha... :-)

Thats definitely something I can look into. I have a spare go pro which I may try out and see if it'll work inside. Its really good out side but seems to struggle inside but worth a try.

Definitely m8, evenn if youre just playing lead or something over the top of prerecorded sections then you get people like me who watch and copy where your fingers go, also its visually more interesting and adds more depth to your production

Yeah its a bit bigger than I thought it would be. Sounds really nice...but im guessing my neighbours might disagree :-)

It's definitely an improvement over my previous keyboard...I just have to learn how to play the thing now though :-)

Glad it helped. I almost took the video down as I wasnt sure it was still relevant but sounds like it still works.

I believe this applies for Windows as well. My PC flouted these and got bricked.
