Hello from Middlesbrough
I live in Middlesbrough in the North East of England.
I have been a Linux user for about five years and I am currently running Linux Mint 13 Maya.
My main musical interest is in folk music though I also like a variety of other musical styles including early music (music from before 1700) and pre beatles pop.
I play recorder which I have been playing more or less continuously since school. Also harmonica, concertina and ukulele.
I have just bought myself a Boss Br-800 MTR which I am learning to use. I have been using Audacity for some years but I am not really into DAWs or sequencers though I did make use of Cubase some years ago when it was just a MIDI sequencer, but these days the notation editor I use (a hangover from my Windows days) has pretty good MIDI capabilities which meet my needs.
Before getting the BR-800 I used a Roland/Edirol R09 for recording together with a small mixer.
My approach is to record offline - no fan noise or latency issues, then to finish off in the computer. The approach suits me fine.

There seem to be a lot of fellow UK musos turning up here lately
I don't play folk styles but very much enjoy them, and have attended every New Forest Folk Festival for the last eleven years (the first one was a private affair) As I'm in north Kent I also pop along to the Broadstairs Folk Week once or twice each year.

I suspect the forumite who resurrected this thread is a bot. When it comes to Middlesbrough, almost every night "Police Interceptors" is on here with Dutch overdubs. We know quite some things now through the Cleveland and Durham police units

There are lots of old dystopian SciFi stories about AI gone bad (although they didn't call it that). It looks like we're heading for the reality

Re: Hello from Middlesbrough
Skynet seems to be arising, but differently from what we expected:

We were taken aback by the skyrocketing rates influencers charge nowadays

Fiddling with sequencers does not evolve into music necessarily and Mac users have smelly feet and guzzle little children.
