    So guys, gigging has really gotten crazy. I have added many more better paying gigs to replace the lower paid ones. Been doing pretty good. Even started doing pubs again here and there. I joined songtown usa to learn some better writing techniques and joined up with an artist in Texas to write...

    The generator Tom was plugged into made his amp buzz something fierce. The kids make it fun. I am buying a bucket of shakers and such to get a group of them into a jam session. I do read through all that stuff. internet here works but videos are not easy to get going. I just saw the kid in the...

    Right now I m doing everything. I found how to ensure royalties are paid properly for cover songs just now. I don't plan on touring. I work around here. I should be getting a deal worked out with the seniors centres soon. There are 9 in one group that have entertainers come in. That will be...

    I love reading about the industry. I have been spending countless hours looking at ways of making it. I am no virtuoso by any means, but a lot of my musician friends have been telling me I am one of the hardest working. I do crap gigs, good ones, I do charity stuff (loved doing the fund raiser...

    It is a funny business. Autotune drives me nuts. Both my harmonizers have it and I won't use it. Might was well just use mp3's for my performance too if that is the case. Might ... well call it the create talent pedal I just booked a pub for August 5th. I thought pub days were gone for me but...

    I generally play solo acoustic now. Aside from recording and today doing 2 duos. There just isn't enough work for bands around here anymore. I just need cd's to sell at the gigs to help generate some revenue. I will add more cd's and merchandise as I go

    I finally plugged the dobro in tonight. I am going to have to open the thing up and try a new location for the k and k pickup. I tried without then with the lr baggs gig pro pre amp. I didn't like the sound much. rather disappointed to be honest. That was the most expensive pickup going and it...

    I joined your world today dude. sold my drum machine and bought a Yamaha DTX450 drum kit. I hated programming drums so much and I can play a bit. I will have to practice but I am good to go. I had bought an Apex drum mic set but trying to get a drummer when I am free was a chore. I tried to book...

    Holy crap, 4 pages to catch up. I have been gigging every weekend. I finally have a day off tomorrow/today. Reading about those tubes is way over my head. James I have the M audio monitors in here now. I have them dual purpose as my studio monitor and computer. Lots of inputs. Pretty impressed...

    Finally back online. I formatted my laptop. Hated windows 10. suspectK. 11 hrs a day is plenth long enough to play. Get set up So I bought a solar panel. It has a plug in the middle of the 8ft wire so you can use different connections; direct wired, cigarette lighter plug and jumper cables. I...

    I played a new market yesterday. They blocked off a city block. Best money I have made to date. It was sure cold though. And I have managed to kill another eliminator (power supply for the harmonizer). Canadian Tire sells crap batteries. It died after 3 hrs so I went straight to PA. I tested it...

    Ian Anderson once at the Pacific Coliseum here did a concert and just had a battery powered pignose amp on a barstool. My oldest brother sang a lot of Jethro Tull in his bands and I was introduced as a wee lad. I was learning parts of songs on my recorder (remember those things in school?) I...

    I moved back to my old place this weekend. So nice to have the man cave back. I got the studio all setup. I added a couple M Audio AV42 powered monitors. They have serious sound for such little boxes and they have inputs front and back. For rehearsing I just plug out of the headphone out of the...

    Funny, my first real amp (after the sears special) was a fender twin reverb, then a Traynor monoblock for bass. That amp was the reason I decided to go small. the cabinet had built in wheels and 2 handles to cart it around. getting that thing on stage was a chore. Now I have a 75 watt fender...

    I used the new harmonizer this weekend. The doubling fx for vocals on the new one is much better so I used that (I used to use the delay for this). I had 1 button on the foot pedal to turn harmony on and off and one button for a delay (like at the end of vocal lines for blue on black...

    Using a harmonizer is much easier than dealing with the thousands of musicians that say they know harmony and just try singing the lead line badly. I honestly have met very few musicians that know how to sing a harmony.. That is a big reason I went solo. I never get attitude from the gear, nor...

    I have had problems with my voicelive touch vocal harmonizer ever since I did a beta firmware testing for tc helicon. I lost usb connectivity so no updates anymore and the signal coming out was ultra hot. I had to use a high impedance mic cable instead of xlr. That was part of the problem with...
