Hi folks, the names Dave J, I'm based in the UK and I came up musically with the great British blues revival of the sixties I haven't done any recording of any sort since the 80's, so home studio, DAW, midi are all alien terms to me ! but I have some of the technological wonders available, a couple of DAW's, mics, a small USB mixer etc. I play acoustic blues guitar [standard/slide] , blues harp and some piano and I used to sing, but a serious throat illness stopped the voice for a long time, now I feel I can can get back into it, although having just one vocal chord means I've sort of had to retrain from "blues shouter" to more of a "blues crooner" and I'd like to record a few blues songs and blues based stuff of my own and just see where it goes.
I'm interested in recording "live" adding harp, piano or whatever later, I've already done a few very rough songs just to feel my way around, plus there is "auto double tracking" and midi, possibly for bass lines. I was for many years the sound engineer for a local folk club and I've been "0n the desk" for such people as Martin Simpson, Planxty, Nic Jones, Dave Swarbrick etc. so the mixing side of things shouldn't be too difficult, it the "getting it in" that I need to get into ! !
