no worries Barge, alot of my updates you will see on the 4D FB page as it's easy to upload mobile pics. I can't stand accessing the forum on a mobile.
Keep an eye out about Sunday might have some pics up.
The table will take some prep work, it's 60+ year old jarrah and need to sand off the rough surface, but underneath there's some sweet deep red grain, I've sanded the 1st table top piece.

Hey Barge, that mix sounds so good, great song arrangement and great guitar playing. Its amazing what can be done these days with home recording these days.
I'm digging deeper into Reaper but I know I will never use a fraction of what its capable of. Add to that my naff guitar playing and it will be a long time before I'll be posting anything here. But you have inspired me to keep going.
Cheers mate.
Hey thanks Robin, I can't really take credit for the arrangement, or the chord progressions for that matter, I just did all the music.
I first started playing around with FL Studio probably 6 years ago now (it was when we first moved to Aus) and it was all so confusing I nearly didn't bother. The best advice I can give, if you're really keen on getting into a bit of recording and production is to go and watch heaps of tutorials (in your case Reaper). There's no better way of learning than actually seeing someone else do it.
Watch a few vids and put what you've learned into practice and you'll be a pro in no time.
You'll be Surprised Robin , how quickly you'll pick up things watch videos and Barge is spot on watching some one in a video is much more inspiring than reading a manual. Here's the best $20.00 you can spend its normally $40.00 a video Tutorial for Reaper 4 by Kenny Gioia . He starts at the very beginning for newbies right through to some advanced techniques . The great thing is if you aren't sure about something rewind it . There great app works on Ipads, Macs and Pc's . I've used several of the Groove3 video Tutorials and are worth every cent.

Mixing techniques and tricks
http://mixingtricks.kajabi.com/fe/73...ission=1421261
Thanks heaps Kim (and Barge). Managed to get a copy and it is an absolute goldmine of info.
Laid down some tracks (nothing more than a simple repeating 4 chord jam track, will rubbish guitars) and now I will go through the video and see if I can improve on it. I thought that building guitars was time consuming, its nothing compared to how much time I could spend on recording and mixing. Good fun.
cheers.
Yeah but the building guitars makes you a better player too then when you record , your recording improves its a wonderful circle of art . glad you liked the Video Kenny Gioia does some fantastic tutorials and I love groove 3 some great ideas.
The Guitar Setup And Maintenance series are good and covers
I'd recommend anyone that builds guitars here on Pitbull to get yourself a copy of this video because it's not just about building guitars that matters it's getting it to feel and play like a pro instrument.Well in Gibson's case play better than one of there setups
(On Going into local shop in Perth and trying some of the latest Gibson guitars .the strings where rusty the pickups set so high
They buzzed against the strings on the 10th fret and I'm sorry when your spending $2500 and upwards you expect some kind of quality .
