    A few new pieces in the studio today. Focusrite and ART Voice Channel

    Well a LOT of people in the IT industry have an Apple bias for reasons I still don’t understand. Especially Linus. But know solving technology problems is my job too. Sweet water is one of the largest single store Apple retailers in the world so I personally saw it first hand when I worked...

    A few new pieces in the studio today. Focusrite and ART Voice Channel

    Yea I’m bowing out of this conversation but you clearly have never dealt with Apple before. They go the extra mile to take care of their customers. I both worked for a massive Apple retailer and have experienced myself.

    A few new pieces in the studio today. Focusrite and ART Voice Channel

    Well I’m not getting in to a big online thing about Apple vs whomever. But if you compare an hp or dell to a similar speced mac the mac is typically about 10% higher, not double at all but higher. Everyone who has taken this challenge has failed FYI . Now I’m going to totally disagree on...

    A few new pieces in the studio today. Focusrite and ART Voice Channel

    That’s probably Apples biggest strength, everything just works together perfect. I can route logics output to a HomePod for example, or use my Apple Watch to allow software to be installed on my Mac. Neither Microsoft or Google can even touch Apples full eco system. Also I like that Apple is at...

    A few new pieces in the studio today. Focusrite and ART Voice Channel

    Yea, I am pretty much all in the box for mixing. I don't see a good reason to mix on an actual console ever again.

    A few new pieces in the studio today. Focusrite and ART Voice Channel

    I have gotten pretty comfortable mixing in logic with the iPad app to control my Mac, so I actually and “touch” multiple faders at once. I can’t imagine mixing on a large console anymore. Man it’s been ten years since I have done a real mix on an analog console.

    A few new pieces in the studio today. Focusrite and ART Voice Channel

    That’s the focustite 18i20 interface that I just added. It has 8 preamps and spdif and light pipe so I can go spdif from the art directly to it so that’s nine pre amps. I’m going to add another 8 eventually so that will be 17 total channels of pre amp I can use at once. So I should be able to...

    ***OFFICIAL*** Free Plugins Thread

    I have to say I’m a bit jealous of kids coming up these days, the free tools are just unreal anymore. I think it’s great. Even full free DAWS just grab an interface and get to work. I learned on tape and ADAT when I was a kid and I think I learned things in a way that I was kinda force to since...

    A few new pieces in the studio today. Focusrite and ART Voice Channel

    Been a huge Focusrite fan for a while now and it was time to upgrade. Also added that Art voice channel and Patchbay. This way I can keep everything hooked up and working really nicely. I will do a full studio tour soon enough. Building this place out so I can track bands etc. Pretty pumped to...

    NEW - Maschine + standalone

    I never liked the pads on the mpd’s, or the 2500 and 1k’s, I love the 2000 pads and the mpc one pads are pretty solid. Maschine is somewhere in the middle like the axiom pads they are ok but don’t blow me away.

    What Kind Of MIDI Controller(s) Do You Own and/or Use?

    I have a axiom 49, a key station 88, machine mk2 and a like 6 fbv express for my main controllers. It really depends on what you are needing them for and what type of player you are.

    My next album is officially off to the plant to be pressed on vinyl

    I am doing a bunch of pr myself but yes I will also work with a team on that. I’m still working that part out strategically as putting an album out in the age of Covid is a whole new playbook. Also I have 90 days to ramp up promo since vinyl pressing takes so long and I want vinyl, cd, spotify...

    My next album is officially off to the plant to be pressed on vinyl

    Yes the vinyl will be in some select stores cdbaby has physical distribution and since I’m a PRO (ascap) artist I can get the music available on Touch tunes in bars and Muzak for restaurants. So royals off streaming in bars can be some nice steady income. Although it takes A LOT of plays to make...

    My next album is officially off to the plant to be pressed on vinyl

    @OGBama I paid an illustrator/designer named Jonathan Richter https://www.jonathanrichter.com/ to do the front cover. I believe covers matter a lot ESPECIALLY when it comes to vinyl so I wanted it unique, something someone would pick up and look at. I have been a fan of Jonathan Richters work...

    My next album is officially off to the plant to be pressed on vinyl

    I used Chris Frasco https://www.masterfrasco.com in Nashville for mastering and he did two masters one for digital and one for vinyl and disc makers for manufacturing. Then I will use cdbaby to get it in stores and sell it on the drunk pedestrians site and band camp for download purchases...

    My next album is officially off to the plant to be pressed on vinyl

    Not sure where to post this but just excited, this is my first vinyl release and my 5th album. I can’t believe it’s actually moving forward FINALLY. This puts album release around Jan since it takes so long, anyway just wanted to celebrate a bit.

    Wtf is the american dream?

    The American dream NOW is 2.5 kids a house with a white picket fence. It’s actually a marketing slogan invented by sally may. It wasn’t always that way and can be traced back to the constitution seehttps://americandrearm.weebly.com/american-dream-in-history.html Also see
