    Today’s video is about how I did the backing vocals on the 4 track.  It’s always tough because you need to think ahead on how everything is going to come together…

  • It’s been Four Years since “Full Circle…” was release.

    The first release that I had ever done happened May 6th, 2014.  That’s now 4 years ago.  This CD has had a huge impact on my life and changed it dramatically.  It also gave the world a chance to hear my personal guitar hero, Don Dorey Jr.  His passing in 2011 was hard for me as many of you know.  I was happy that I had something from his legacy to share.  In this week’s video, we are passing on “Rocksmith Monday” to showcase the recording that started it all.

    If you are interested in buying the songs, please check out our CDBaby site or you can listen to it on any popular streaming site.

  • A deeper understanding of using effects on various systems.

    I’ve been reading a lot of questions about using effects on different systems and decided I wanted to help out where I could.  I made the following video showing how to set up effects on various devices from amplifiers and mixers to using them while recording.

  • Spring 4 Track Challenge, working on the drums (vlog)

    This week I was working on the drums for my song.  I’m not the greatest drummer, I have been taking lessons for 2 years, but I really haven’t applied them to anything except what I’ve been working on so my scope is limited at the moment.  Trying to work on getting that better!

  • Recording from a 4 track to a Digital Portastudio and Spring 4 track Challenge

    We have two things on the bill for this week’s post!

    First off, I show you how to move your recording from a 4-track to your digital Portastudio.  It isn’t hard to do, but if you want to keep a digital copy of your work, it is a good idea to do this.

    Secondly, starting March 21st, we will be joining forces with 424 Recording for a Spring 4-track challenge!  This will take place from March 21st until June 21st.  I hope to have a song completed and ready for distribution on June 21st!  Hope you will join us!
