I have two loves in my life as of now: Rock N Roll & Accounting. In Grade 11, I discovered the balance sheet, income statement, statement of equity, and statement of cash flows. I pursued this passion, which has led me to earn a university degree and to become a CPA. The Chartered Professional Accountant. When I finish my CPA education and practical experience requirements, I will have extensive knowledge and experience in six technical fields: 1. Financial Reporting 2. Managerial Accounting 3. Taxation 4. Finance 5. Strategy & Governance 6. Audit & Assurance I will also have extensive knowledge and experience in seven enabling fields 1. Professional & Ethical Behaviour 2. Problem Solving & Decision Making 3. Written & Oral Communication 4. Self Management 5. Teamwork & Leadership 6. Digital Acumen and Technology I love my numbers, and I love my notes. Numbers and Notes, One in the same

May I now please introduce myself? My name is Schmidty. I started drumming when I was eight years old, when my father needed a drummer for his garage band. I took a few lessons at this place, but it was not until I connected with this mobile drummer that I really learned the groove. I learned how to count, hit and fill it. The 1234, quarter, eight and sixteenth note. The single, double and paradiddle. The foundation of a rocking blues song. When I was 14, I was learning the bass, and it was bassy, get it? The first tune for me was Money by Pink Floyd. Other simple tunes, such as The Joker, Can't Ya See, and Sweet Home Alabama nearly followed. Another hit tune I learned and grooved to was Play That Funky Music White Boy. At 17, halfway through Grade 12, I finally picked up the guitar and started exploring it, wondering about it. Initially, it looked exciting and maybe addictive with the frets, wood and other aspects, but I did not know the pull it would bring when I started playing it. For the last nine years, I have played almost every day, working on it, practicing it, becoming better and advancing myself. From fretting technique to picking technique to song structuring technique, I do everything. This summer, the summer of 2026, I will be releasing my first official album, known as Something About Sailor, produced by the lovely dude who founded this community.

Hey y’all, I had a sound gig the other day and was fighting feedback on my singer’s vocal mic. The room was super live and reflective and one of the mains was behind the singer (not my choice I know that is a big feedback cause due to space limitations it had to be that way). In any case I was wondering what are y’all’s favorite ways of fighting feedback when the set up is sub optimal?

So I’ve got a lot of instruments I also have a focusrite 2i2 3rd gen but it’s all in my room has anyone ever recorded in their own rooms/garage's and what were the pros and cons of doing so?
