My 8 o'clock professor on Tuesdays and Thursdays has a class policy of "entirely optional, but you are responsible for the test grades." Hooray! So I'm taking this time to sit and relax, drink some coffee, and contemplate where I should start recording when I'm done with class around noon. I've been moving as quickly as possible on it pretty much whenever I can, so I've got about 10 minutes of material (some mixed, some not) so far.
I found yesterday that my ideas were becoming overwrought after I would try to force them out hour after hour on the same song. After working on one song for almost 5 hours (with the last hour being pretty unproductive), moving on to something else felt really nice, and it made going back to the first song a lot easier.
What kind of gear is everyone using? I'll go ahead and list some of mine. Also, since Dan was nice enough to post a picture of his drum set-up, I'll go ahead and post a picture of my non-drum set-up.

Some pedals that I won't bore you by listing
Tascam US-144 usb recording interface/TM-78 mic
Day 2 begins. Good luck!
sweet set up!
ReplyDeleteas far as gear I have 3 keyboards that do various things and a big ole mac to mix it all. If I could I would invest in some different pedals and an apogee one..le sigh.
stay open minded and flow naturally :)
