I figured out how to make a passable bass sound. I just can’t find a bass synth I like anywhere you see. (yes I know, I could just use real bass - but it’s the principle of the thing now….) My friend Josh and I are going to make a sample based bass […]

Well, it’s pretty much the end of 2007. I looked through my myspace blog to see if I’d set any goals at the start of this year. Apart from a vague intention to get my tattoo coloured in - I didn’t set any. But if I could time travel back to the […]

Songwriting is one of those odd things, I can never explain quite how I do it. I think it often starts with a riff. When I have a guitar in my hands and I do the audio equivalent of doodling on a notepad with a ball point pen, while day dreaming […]

I think it’s great, that there’s so much cool free stuff available on the dub dub dub. I’m not talking about dodgy pirated versions of software that tarnish your morality and fill your computer with bugs. I’m talking about stuff that is free or funded by donations/advertising, or fully functional lite versions […]

I have a Digitech Vocal 300 Vocal effects processor. I bought it cheap one day on impulse from my local music store . Intending to use it for making a cool delay sound on stage, somehow I managed to never once get it set up at band practice let alone take it to […]

I feel defeated writing this weblog on ‘blogspot’. I had first started just HTMLing it on it’s own page, where I have a fetchdata function that fetched it neatly to the index page when required. However, blogging in HTML can be a pain in the arse. It totally ruins your flow when […]
