The songs that I place here are a variety ranging from blues, rock and maybe even a little jazz. All songs here were written, performed using real instruments (I simply loathe VST's and refuse to use them) that I actually play myself, recorded using presonus studio one.3, and mastered on the same software. I hope you enjoy.
Been playing various instruments since the 1960's. I was a music major in college, majoring on trumpet and piano, started composing in the late 1980's, I write everything from classical to rock, blues and some jazz. I play through 12 different keyboards.
I played with various bands up until 3 years ago.
For this genre some of all, rick wakeman, Robert lamm, and a lot of bands from the 1960's
DSI. Prophet Rev 2, Roland RS5, Arturia Microbrute, ARP. Odyssey, MOOG. Subsequent 37 CV, Yamaha AN1x (actually designed by Dave Smith), Hammond XK1c organ, Yamaha MX61, Roland GoPiano, KORG. Minilogue, KORG. MS20 mini, and finally RHODES. Piano manufacture date 1972. There is also a KORG drum machine.
The midi channels are routed through a MOTU. Interface and then via USB into the computer to create sheet music. The instruments go into an analog mixer (all stereo instruments are recorded in stereo), then the stereo out of the mixer goes to the monitors for practice, the studio out in stereo goes to a Focusrite 2i2, the USB out goes to the computer. The audio out of the 2i2 goes to the 5.1 stereo as a second monitor. In the computer I use presonus studio One.3 for recording and editing. The final edit is sent to Notion for sheet music creation. And there you have it. This is my system.
