Turns out a lot of you guys are musicians (more than I realised certainly), so post a little about you, your instruments and your band (if you've got one) here.

I'm 16, and I play bass, guitar, keyboards and sing on stage, though I can also play drums, ukelele, and a fair few others. My band are called Complication and we formed in October '07, with our first gig in March '08. We've done a few since, and our most recent was January. We are a trio (drums, guitar, bass) and we write our own music. There are two of three videos of us on Youtube but they're awful quality so I'm not going to link you to them!

Aged 19.  Hand me an orchestral instrument, I can probably play it.  Main instrument is String Bass.  Also play bass guitar some.  Used to play in a local punk band, quit when the lead guitarist pulled a stupid stunt.  The band's still around, though.  I won't post the name here, if you really want to know, you know how to contact me.
I find that if I don't have a signature, some people disregard the last couple of lines of a long post.

I tinker in FLStudio :P

I can share one of the songs I made (and its subsequent "Dance Mix") if anyone cares.

(Click it for more art, y'know you wanna!)

Gone to college, but I now have internet.

Me, not a music talent, but, I use my computer knowledge for audio editing. Y'know, like, echoing and stuff

Yes it is. Stay away. Somebody should warn Microfeck. And call 911.

Anyone can do that, Arby.

But isn't it remarkable for a 12 year old? I mean, hay, I was the only student in my former school who could do that. People tend to waste time playing (The game called Maplestory)

Not really.  Just download Audacity and mess around with the filters.  Anyone could do that.

I've been thinking about learning to play the saxofoon, but things keep getting in my way ... mostly games :D
I play a bit of piano and at groundschool(not sure how you call it, was about 10 years old) I learned to play a (literally translated) blockflute. (besides a triangle one of the most basic instruments you can learn how to play, its basicly to teach you to read music.)

Dang! Forgot to mention that nobody even knew what audio meant moreover spend time googling things not related to MSSEA.

Dude, fix your quote tag.

A lot of people are musicians because it's basically a universal language.

Plus learning to play an instrument well doesnt come easy. Most people here are active in a game thats 10 years old and I would say that makes you a rather dedicated person (something you need to learn to properly play an instrument)..

So?

When you program your own processor to add echo, THAT will mean something. ALL you do is open a program, hit a button. HA!

I don't know any instruments. I seem to have the ability to pick up the base of a language very easily, which allows me to get the gist of a conversation in another language without knowing a single word of it.

I wish I knew how to use some instrument. I used to know some, but it never kept in my head.

Um, read like about the last 3 posts by me on this thread. It's remarkable for a guy from that kinda school. I was like, a picometer away from getting that ultimate title, but my apprentice betrayed :(

Dude, before I was 10 I was already making flash animations...

Were you perhaps in a special school with only 1 computer?
Others would merely say it was good humour.

I guess it also very much depends on how old you are. When I was about 12 we got an IBM(dos only at the time) at home and 1/2 the street came over to check it out :)
We didnt have a PC at school untill about 2 years later ... so its would have been rather difficult to be able to do flash animations when I was 10 :D
