I got a Kemper profiler and there are some great Bass amp profiles....just DI into it, select a profile, and off you go. AWESOME!

The Gear Orphanage got ahold of Matt from Dizengoff and he is going to return my unit. He still can't make it buzz. So atleast I will have it back. When the buzz gets constant I'll find someone to repair it.

The Dizengoff website is no longer up. The owner hasn't returned any of my 3 emails asking when I would get my unit back.

About 18 months ago I bought a Dizengoff D4 Mic Pre from The Gear Orphanage. It buzzed intermittantly. Within 1 week I sent and email to Gear Orphanage where I stated the problem and thought it should go back to them. I called them and they said that they did not have a replacement unit but I...

Thanks for the comments. Pretty much all of my songs are guitar based. Thinking of this as part of an album or group of songs...the flute gives them some variety...and I rarely get access to the flute player....a friend of a friend kind of thing. Tom

Thanks for listening. I have never gotten compaired to Billy Joe Armstrong and I take that as a compliment. My friend mixed it and I know he did some work on my harmonies but I don't think the lead vocal was tuned. Tom

Here is a song that is mostly acoustic. The bass is an electric bass because that is all we have. It's about the time of my life approaching retirement from a job that has nothing to do with music. I have the same feeling as I had when I was a boy heading for vacation at Lake Erie. I put new...

Here is a pretty simple mix of a Smooth Jazz kind of song with a Bossa Nova feel....in so much as a person in Pittsburgh PA can do Bossa Nova. The lead guitar is a $500 PRS semi-hollow guitar that I LOVE! Friends played the Hammond and Drums. https://soundcloud.com/tom-paul-2/tell-me-seagull

This song, Return to You, is a very personal song...the lyrics just wrote themselves. I was thinking of Joe Biden quoting Hemingway...about how the world breaks us all but for some those places grow stronger. The singer has been broken and he is trying to return...but you can't ever come all...

I could not make the clips play. Sometimes there was visual activity to the left of the clip name when playing the clips but nothing came from my speakers.

I read a story about the studio in Muscle Shoals when the Stones recorded a lot of the Sticky Fingers ( Wild Horses, Brown Sugar, etc) tracks. The guy who owned the studio saw that the building next door was throwing away some cardboard shapes that some lighting fixtures had been packed in. He...

Looking for new and better ways to insult people? Hmmmmm

Is it OK? It's OK to write about anything under the sun. Will an audience respond favorably? Proly not...unless maybe you find a geriatric demographic...but they don't download a lot of music. That said, a great song is a great song..... However, it would have to be extra great in this...

I was thinking of a character that is a drifter, always on the move, looking for what's over the horizon and always alone. I was feeling 70's Stones country rock so that's where we took this. I wonder if this could be marketed as Country?? Please give it a listen. My usual cast of characters...

It's awesome that you have something that you yourself enjoy to share and have in common with her at this sometimes difficult age...savor every minute cause the years fly by way faster than you can imagine. You know, TAE, you are right on there. It is hard to connect with my daughter and...

You know, we just talked to a producer and realized that making it in the music business isn't really a goal right now for Julie. She sings and acts in Middle school plays, gets great grades, and is incredibly busy now. The producer turns out to want money to produce a single in his studio...

Thanks! I played the backing track over the studio monitors and the mic was pointed away from them. We really didn't get a lot of bleed. Sinatra is said to have preferred this approach. Then we used Windows Move Maker, imported the video and the MP3 of the mix, time aligned them, muted the...

Check out this video of Julie singing "Love Yourself". I have posted a couple of things she sang over the last couple of years. Julie is 13. The video was simply an iPhone but we replaced the audio with a good mic. There is not pitch correction...just verb, vocal rides, EQ and compression...

Hey there, I am playing with this cover of Witchita Lineman. It needs some drums...even programmed drums would be better than the simple drum line I used. Anyone interested? It's just for fun... I don't see any commercial future for this. I could post an MP3 to dropbox, or email it with the...
