OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

I'm not at all surprised to hear this.. Herb is not only a talented guy, but he knows how to set goals and follow through in order to make his own successes. In my opinion, that's often the difference between being a wisher and a getter.
Congratulations, Herb! You've earned my respect in multiple ways, and this is just one more addition to an ever-growing list!

Hi, "guitarhacker"...
Well, good-gawd-a'mighty, it's about d*** time, ya' think?!
You deserve the "success" not only because of how hard you work on your songs, but also because of the generous, unselfish assistance you've given to me and others who've requested help with BIAB-related problems.
What goes around, comes around. Congratulations, "guitarhacker!"
Sincerely, and respectfully,
"bluage"

I discovered Herb on Soundclick before I knew about BIAB and joining the forum. At that time, I thought that Upper Room was an actual brick and mortar recording studio in the traditional sense of a building and session musicians. I had no idea he used BIAB.
"... the generous, unselfish assistance you've given to me and others who've requested help with BIAB-related problems."
Absolutely.
There are many on the forum like Herb, but I featured him in my video testimonial just those reasons stated above.
He truly deserves success in placements but Herb is the epitome of success in many ways already.

I will always remember Herb's very first words to me in the year 2014 when he suggested that I invest in BIAB and upgrade my DAW and other stuff in Windows: "If you listen very carefully to what I am about to say, you will never open Windows XP ever again. Gotta pen?" And so began my long march towards everything you have ever heard on this forum. Thanks Herb!!!

I thought it was ..... you'll never open a notebook ever again.... in regards to using it for writing a song. I was right, wasn't I ?? And it was up at that college of the arts auditorium. That was a dark place. Thanks Dave.
