I've set up this nice little recording studio in our flat over the last past years.
A lot of nice equipment gathered during time...
The studio has been used for various recordings with my bands and projects
including tracks with Kathy X, Darryl Read , PVC etc.
Here comes the Nerd Section:
I've been using Logic Audio Software since Version 2.6 when it was still Emagic. Before the current studio setup I was running Logic on an original Pro-Tools III Nubus rig on a first generation PowerMac on OS 8.1 for many years.
In the early 90's I have started recording on a Tascam Portastudio and soon hooked that into my audiomedia card of my first PowerMac. Later then the good old Fostex Model 80 tape machine and the matching Model 450 16-channel mixer synchronised. Finally I had a maxed out PPC 8100AV/100, MOTU MTP II and two Digidesign 882 Interfaces and a Nubus Expansion Chassis with 16 I/O and 3 DSP Farms. it lasted a decade. Today everything is much more compact and a bit more sophisticated than in the early days of HD-recording...
My musical influences stretch from rockabilly, psychobilly, rock'n'roll and punk over to country, swing, bebop, jazz and to classical music, funk metal and so on... I'm not particulary into electronic music, however, in my earler days I did a lot of drum programming and midi editing.
Today I am more interested in recording live instruments, collecting microphones, fixing up gear and especially playing live shows...
