How much would a student alto sax cost?

For you?

He said sax, not sex!!!!!! :laughing:

I guess this is more of a request for identification than it is a recommendation, but there's no other good sticky thread so I guess I'll just post here. Apologies if this isn't the place for it.

There's this stab sound that I can't even describe, seems like it was used a lot in the 80s and 90s, but I don't have any idea what it's from originally, but I'd really like to use it myself. You can hear it in all these songs, which I think is enough to identify it.

That's an "Orchestra Hit".

"The orchestra hit has been described as popular music's equivalent to the Wilhelm scream.[5]" wow I feel stupid for not knowing that now. Thanks

No worries. We all have our moments.

Need hjelp ppl.
 

I need help. I've never played a guitar before and i want to start on a electric guitar. I'm really into old school rock. I've heard that i shouldn't start with a guitar which has whammy bar. But what the hell do i know, all i know is by reading online, everyone has a different opinion online, so i have no clue what's true and whats not. All the guitars i listed below are around 200€. What do you think of them and what else do you suggest.

I'm looking to buy an Ibanez premium Bass. Still not sure which one though... Also, 5 or 6 string? Is it worth it going for the extra string? (Have a 5'er now)

I'm looking for a solid beginner instrument to learn the basics of music making/theory and have fun in my off time. I process enough returns on super entry level equipment that I'm willing to save up for something closer to the mid range.

What instrument should an guy that likes Pop music start off on?
