Pro Tools
Tonight I ventured into unknown territory: Pro Tools. I’ve had it for almost a month and hadn’t installed it. That changed tonight. I was surprised by how easy it was to install and get up and running. I have several friends who record for fun and for a living. Many of which can’t stand Pro Tools. I’m a new guy to it. So I’m starting out with M-Powered 8.0 and a...

Floppy disk ...delay?
So …if you’re into DIY electronics like me …you’ve probably explored various methods of making your own delay sounds. Most commonly …using various tape heads on reel to reel tape recorders, or even Sony Walkmans …this is the most interesting of all.
Floppy disks …no one uses them anymore, right? Wrong. This guy named Daniel McAnulty, has found a method...

Iron Whale
So, as you may know …my band, Iron Whale, played a free show at Pasha Coffee & Tea last night. I’d like to thank all of you who came out to support us and the other bands that played. The turnout was fantastic! The largest show I think Pasha’s ever had, actually. And …I’d also like to announce that …we will actually be playing there again next Monday,...

First, I want to thank those of you who “reblogged” my post about Iron Whale …it means a lot to me that you would let my band take up space on your personal blog. Really though, thank you so much!
Now …I’d like to take the time to thank everyone who came out to my band Iron Whale’s first show. It was a lot of fun. Really cold. But I couldn’t have been...

2010
I know …I know …2010 has come & gone …but I’m feeling nostalgic. 2010 was a great year. For one, I was in the first few REAL bands of my life …4 or 5 bands actually. Here are a bunch of random pictures I found.

REPOSTED: Demo...

The kit & HUGE room all of the drums were tracked in…
A glance at the immense amount of...

WatchProbably the first semi serious band I was in was a band called …Our American Cousin. Nathan & Conrad, two of my friends, wrote these six songs …three of which had the same chord progression …1, 3, 4, 5 …or something, that all talked about one person, yet all in different keys …kind’ve a concept …band? But …I hopped on the wagon two days before...

Noah & The Whale
My girlfriend introduced me to this band late last year …mostly known for their material from Peaceful, The World Lays Me Down but …I highly prefer the songs that come from their second release, The First Days of Spring. Which actually is a record and film. Charlie Fink, the frontman, wrote and directed the film. Which uses both digital and film cameras.
