Yes, see above :)

Ours is in an industrial area also, it's great to be able to practise how you play live.
Loving it so far

I think it depends on what you're doing. The circle is great for familiarisation; new songs or new band members. But if you're going to play out, you need to do the other thing as well.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

Yep. I love playing to a wall, shouting at the wall and encouraging it to join in and raise its hands. COME ON!

No idea about this practice thing though.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Talk a home recording wannabe through all the stuff on the desk. Ta.

I couldn't show-off my practice space at the mo. I'm set up in the corner of my garage. Sometimes I play along to the washing machine. :-(

LOL. Anything except the period bleep that signals the wash is complete.
