I finally got my new monitors set up. I need a new desk at some point, my Z-Rack w/t wood and end tables from a yard sale, are not big enough. Plus I need something that looks better. But this works for now.

My uncle passed away last week and due to his death, his son and my uncles grandchildren all came together in my home town for the funeral. A couple of them reside in other states so to get them all together is a rare thing. They are all musicians and wanted to do a tune together and they...

Got it. I do have to say they packed it very well. The first two faders are very loose. All the rest are fine. Im going to let it warm up and then Im going to tear it apart and clean it and see whats going on with the first two faders. Hopefully an easy fix. The salesman/manager said the...

I mix on (let me have it) Behringer Truths 2031a's and I think they sound good. But I have never used anything else and its time to upgrade. I started with a 600 budget and found the KRK Roket 8 Gen2's and the Mackie MR8's in that range. Well Adam 7's kept popping up all over other forums and I...

Picked up a small amp 2 weeks ago and got a chance to record with it. I basically flipped it on and this is the sound that came out of it. Cant wait to tweak some knobs and really give it a try. I need to put some lyrics to this. Maybe "Cookie Monster" vocals? There is some timing issue...

This is an original I did a while back. I went through today and remixed it (for the third time). I know most guys can relate to this (and maybe some women). Its about all those things that enter your mind when your mowing grass. Enjoy !!! Link to the tune "The Mower" Lyrics Below...

I had some spare time today so I finished up a cover of ACDC's "Gone Shootin". Give a listen and let me know how the mix sounds. Musicianship wise I know its bad. But sound wise, let me have it. I did two mixes. One I got a little more agressive with a master bus compressor. The other I...

Sunday studio time !!!! I just finished re-mixing (redid some of the guitar work and vocals) my cover of Alice Coopers "Man of theYear", that I originally did last year. I gonna go through my stuff and redo the old tunes (make them better) as well as do some new stuff over Christmas break...

I really wanted to get my daughter and her boyfriend to sing this as a duet. But his voice is shot. So I did it. I got to use my new Blue Bird mic. I won it through a sweepstake at Sweetwater. I like it alot. My voice (though crap) stands out alot better. I teaching my self piano (at a...

Just got done re-mixing a tune I did last Christmas. Its a cover of Billy Idols "Yelling At The Christmas Tree". Im also working on "Run Run Rudolf", but Im getting my daughter and her boyfriend to sing it. He has a sore throat so it has been put on hold. So I redid this one. Enjoy and...

I entered a contest at Sweetwater and won a Blue Bird mic. Ive never won anything ever before. They called me this morning with the great news. Cant wait to try it out.

We host Thanksgiving at our house every year. My cousin (who plays drums) came down from up north this year also. He had never seen my studio/garage and one thing led to another and we started jamming a little. This year I talked my brother into singing a few songs. Of course he picked songs...

Hear is a sample of two of the nine original tunes I recorded for a local gospel band. All nine were recorded in one setting and one take. First time recording a brush snare and it was a little of a challenge. It was a quick recording and though I would have liked to spend time on it doing...

So I was looking for a tune to cover (recording practice) and I came across an old Greg Kihn album. I said, hot damn. So I did a cover of "Cant Stop Hurting Myself". Maybe you old guys will remember this one. The album "Rock-Kihn-Roll", had "The Breakup Song" on it also (his most popular song)...

I havent been in my studio for a few weeks, and this is what was born in a few hours. Nothing fancy. Just a fun little late 50's dance groove. Enjoy. http://www.soundclick.com/util/getplayer.m3u?id=7005648&q=hi

Third video during the jam session my cousins band did at my place. This is another original. Sort of sounds like Green Day to me. Its ok. Not one of my favorites they played. Some may like it. The last one Im gonna put up in a few days is my favorite. But I have alot of video editing to...

Here is another video of the jam session my little cousins did at my place about two years ago. Its an original of theirs called "Dont Want To Talk To You". Its rough and they get out of time in the beginning a little. But its still cool. Link below...

This was recorded 2 years ago and I finally got around to learning how to get video from my camcorder to my pc :) Its my cousins old band. The singer/guitarist and the other guitarist are my cousins. They are my sons age and came down to visit and see my studio/jam room, that we had just...

Ive read, where some people say that if you load up the same tracks in different DAW's on the same PC, use the same hardware and monitors and press play, each will sound different. I find it hard to believe. Anyone ever do an actual test ? Its all digital. I can see where different hardware...
