Ok, so this is about the third time I've attempted to write this out. The humidity today has kept causing my computer to restart randomly on me. :shake:

Anywho, I've been into anime for almost as long as I remember. Though admittedly my original introduction was less than savory in some cases (Akira and Ninja Scroll come to mind). Some of my all time favorites include the Macross series (currently watching Macross Frontier, brilliant so far), the majority of Studio Ghibli films, Fullmetal Alchemist, and more recently Eureka Seven (has absolutely struck a chord with me so far, loving it).

I am also a devout christian, though I don't know if that much needs to be mentioned, lol. I certainly wouldn't be posting here if I was a devout atheist, that much in certain.

Other than that, I really enjoy reading and gaming. I also spend quite a bit of time writing/recording/and producing songs, as a hobby of mine. Would absolutely love for it to become my job in future though.

I look forward to spending some time here getting to know you all. :thumb:

Hello again! Welcome to CAA. :)

I'm not a song writer, but I have semi-recently been involved in recording some songs for a church CD project. What instrument do you play?

I mainly sing :), though I would consider myself to be... I guess 'reasonable' with the piano/keyboard. I have had a few friends keep telling me I should go on Australia Idol, but I'm not quite as confident in my abilities as they are :lol:.

The current setup I have involves having my keyboard hooked up to my computer via midi-in, so that I can directly record my keystrokes, and velocity of said keystrokes, in to the producing program and then subsequently change the sound using sound fonts. And from there I can simulate virtually any instrument.

It may sound complicated, though its really just a load of fun once you get used to it. And its great being able to write and then record a song when I get the inspiration to.

I do know what you mean - I actually have a keyboard + MIDI cable myself, though it hasn't had much recent use (due to lack of time/space/inspiration)..
We did "analogue recordings" for the CD project... it has so many more factors you have to get right! It was fun though. I play bass guitar.

Welcome to CAA Evran! Good to see another Aussie here.
I was a bit worried at first that some new American member had stolen our national greeting (lol).
Hope you feel at home here and have a good time getting to know everyone.
God Bless mate.

::blinks:: Don't worry about him. He's just mental. You'll find a lot of the members of CAA are the same way. In fact, every year we have a straightjacket bonfire in the Goof-Off section. It's quite nice, actually. We roast marshmellows and our random medications...
