. It's an odd choice, I know, but I've been using it for so long I'm just so damn used to it. Drum parts are worked out carefully on my kit, then painstakingly programmed in as MIDI data. Keyboards (where present) are done in a similar way. I'm not good enough at either to consider recording them direct. Bass, guitars and vocals are recorded through my TonePort straight into the PC. I use and a pile of free VSTs to knit it all together and it all sounds decent enough under the circumstances. Cheap and easy!
Tell me about your history? How did you get where you are now?
Ha, I write way too much... if you really want to know, to visit my website. There you can check out my band family tree and the history of some of the bands I've been in.
Have you performed live in front of an audience? Any special memories?
Not any more. I just don't have the time to play in a band these days and I don't have the balls to do it solo!
