I must have broken a World record here, for time taken to respond to a reply. Anyway, thanks for the welcome MB; a Happy New Year to you, and everyone else on the forum.
Not long after posting the above, I reverted back to (attempting!) to make music using a derivative of Beepbox; LMMS seemed like a very steep learning curve and there simply wasn't enough hours in the day to devote to it.... time for hobbies is still in short supply. A couple of weeks ago, I decided to give it another go and was surprised how quickly I picked things up.
I'm just playing around in the song editor at the moment; I started off writing an electro track, then got a tech-trance loop going.... then wrote something that sounded like a hook from an old dancefloor banger, so decided to work on a few bars of that (just for shits and giggles).... then for some strange reason (forgive me oh Lord!), the hook from the old Eurodance classic, 'Mysterious Times' by Sash got the LMMS treatment.... then.... well, you get the picture
I've been watching a few of your Youtube videos these past couple of days; good stuff for an LMMS "noob" like me. The two part tutorial on trance basses was good

Next time I sign-in there, I'll drop you a sub and some likes.
