Music is one of my greatest passions - these days, I'm mostly a live audio engineer. My first love will always be piano and keyboards of all types - I also play bass (competently) and guitar (not so much). Some people also tell me I sing well, though sadly I'm much out of practice.
I used to record more music when I was in high school, but I haven't published much since.
I know somebody will be curious...so here's my current gear list as of April 2022:
- Keyboards/synths: Yamaha S90ES, Roland Alpha Juno-1, Roland D-110
- Guitar stuff: Fender MIM HSS Stratocaster (quirky, has a built-in audio interface! ...and bad fret sprout)
- Basses: Custom Jazz bass (first instrument I ever built!) and my parts P-bass with flats (really been loving this lately)
- Teenage Engineering PO-32 Tonic
- Ableton Live 10 Suite with a plethora of plugins and assorted samples
- Multitool audio rack: Behringer X32 Producer, 2x Sennheiser ew300 G3, 2x Sennheiser ew300 G3 IEM
- Other audio interfaces: Behringer SD16, Klark Teknik DN9630, NI Audio Kontrol 1 (ol' faithful)
- Audio sources: Alclair RSM (primary reference these days), PreSonus E5 (not perfect, but improved with DSP), Sony MDR-7506, Shure SE215
- Mic locker: sE V7/V3, Sennheiser e609/e604, Audix D6, MXL V67G, Behringer C2 (still need to mod these), Pyle PDMIC78, Sennheiser MME865
- Scrap 2x4 pedalboard containing: Boss TU-3, TC Cinders (modded to play better with bass), Behringer BDI21.
And some equipment that's either been sold on or is sitting in the "fix-me" pile:
- Tascam US-1800 (sadly never got around to continuing work on Linux support...)
- PreSonus FireStudio 2626 (now being used to provide free recordings for up-and-coming musicians!)
- Behringer FCA1616 (bought it for-parts for $25, PSU + converter repair was unsuccessful)
- Behringer TO800 (broken, haven't had the energy to diagnose the failure)
- TC June-60 V1 (still redesigning the circuit to match a genuine Juno more closely)
