  • I reacted to a cover of a cover that I did

    I recorded for the 424 Recording Fall Song Challenge, a song that friend’s of mine wrote, recorded (somewhat) but never released. I ended up recording my own version of the song on my 4 track. A friend of the channel loved it, and recorded his own version. Here’s my first listen to the song.

  • Now Available! Sheet music

    As many of you know, I love to write out my songs and others in MuseScore. Earlier this month in a video, I said I was going to publish the scores for people to download.

    I’ve started doing this and you can find it along the top menu under “Sheet Music”. It’s currently only two songs, but as I get more of them done, I will share them. My goal is by the middle of 2020 to have my current songs done in this format for all to enjoy and learn!

  • How’s Your Summer starting off?

    Hey! How are you doing? I haven’t been posting on here for a bit, so I thought I’d ask how things are going? I’ve been steady with the videos on YouTube, but I haven’t been doing the follow up on my main site.

    What’s Coming up?

    I thought I’d give you an idea of what is coming up:

    • Music, recording always recording! That’s why I changed the name!
    • I try a game that I haven’t been able to get working on my computer.
    • I found another use for my Zoom H4!
    • More discussions about recording devices!

    Hope you keep checking us out! Talk to you soon!

  • Using the Zoom H4, Part Four, Bongos

  • Testing the 3M AVX60 Professional Cassette for Recording

    I tested a pack of cassettes that I bought on Ebay a while back. Here’s what I tried.

  • Using the Zoom H4, Part One: Switching to 4-track Mode and the Metronome

    It’s always hard to start a project on a new device, granted this isn’t a new device, but I have never used it in 4-track mode. YES! I’m back on Thursdays!

    Thanks for watching!

  • Quick Recording on the Zoom H4 Handy Recorder

    A couple of Sunday’s back, I was asked to record some music from church. It was our cellist’s sister and family who were down from Mexico. Since I didn’t have a lot of time to set up, I brought my Zoom H4 Handy Recorder. Here’s the results:
