Hello, 
Pretty good, although last night and today were kind of weird. Will try to make some music later on tonight. How about you?

Me, I learned how to make soundtracks with Reaper (digital audio workstation) an 88-key MIDI keyboard and a lot of virtual instruments. Real handy when I need a soundtrack for a song I want to sing at church.

Oh, my goodness! You sent me so many .
Here is the one I did from the Proverbs verse you suggested:
Proverbs 25:12
I started this design on the 28th:
Isaiah 59:1-2
Neither of those had been posted before just now...
I started this one a week ago, and have posted it only once before (yesterday):
James 5:19-20 plus Proverbs 10:2b

I do like making pretty things and playing with pixels .. My designs are collages, which means,
I start with a blank canvas that I add multiple elements or ephemera (as I recently learned they are
called) to, that I source from sites that offer them for use in personal projects, such as borders, frames,
backgrounds, flowers, butterflies, special effects, faces, etc, to which I make multiple edits after sizing
and positioning. Edits that radically change what I started out with... I show the original face once in
a while, and you may have seen some of them in my Scripture Art thread. Oh! I meant to show you the
one I started after I finished the Proverbs one... I am still working on it, but it is nearing being finished .
Acts20-24
I started ^ that one ^ yesterday; I added the small floral bouquet just above her shoulder this morning.
I was able to do so much of the Proverbs one on Friday because we were not very busy at work,
and I am allowed to be on my computer then... which is great, because I hate being idle at work .
Also, I get a little uneasy if I have not begun a design for a few days, so sometimes I am working
on multiple panels at a time, plus, I have also been updating some older ones .. Thank you!!!

Hey sorry for the late reply
Yes I have heard of Reaper but haven't tried it out yet, I use fl studio 20.something (haven't upgraded yet) which has a LOT of sounds and have a few instruments, only one that I actually use (epiphone "les paul" edition). Hopefully I will soon learn how to play the alto sax collecting dust by the door.
My tastes range from House to Rock, just random stuff with lyrics that honor Jesus and tell truth to be honest. What about you?

If you're already using FL Studio, don't bother getting Reaper. You'll have two hammers that can each hit the nail just as well, in exactly the same way, and one of the hammers will gather dust. FL is great.
And if you're already using FL Studio... You might look at SampleModeling and their sax virtual instrument. Or just play around with a freeware saxophone soundfont and some FX to add inflection to the tone.
I actually learned to play alto sax. Then computer music programs started really hitting their stride, so I put down the sax and picked up the computer. You can play SO MANY INSTRUMENTS with a laptop and a MIDI keyboard!

Yeah praise God I get to use fl. It is like a huge supermarket, especially after you finally realize you can tweak the presets.
Thank you for the recommendations. And yes freeware has gotten so abundant, you basically can get whatever you need imo.
I have some sax samples that I like, they seem to sound better than when I try midi sax, although I did kind of like vocoding with a fake sax one time. Been trying to get good house leads from guitar instead (until I learn sax) and I think it has a lot of potential.
If you're able to pull off the little details and imperfections (that add so much imo) like playing live instruments with midi and do it with less effort, I'd say that's pretty sweet.

For a sweet house guitar I use RealStrat. Yeah, I know... Payware. I'll pay, it's good. I pair it with a few freeware amp sims and FX sims I found online. Or you can use the amps and FX that come with it, but I like juicy77's crunchy sound on a power chord.
RealStrat:
RealGuitar:
Yes he's playing two guitars, one with each hand.
