This page describes some of the hardware, software and techniques that I use to create MP3 files

using loop or MIDI drum tracks & Audio recordings of live guitar, bass or keyboards performance.

The software packages that I use are :-

Adobe Audition 1.5 - sound editor that allows multitrack recording, manipulation of every aspect of audio recordings.

MAGIX Music Studio - Multimedia editor to multitrack MIDI and Audio recordings

TS-404 Richy Hoffman's brilliant analog synthesizer

My current PC hardware is a custom built machine on a Gigabyte motherboard with a Soundblaster Audigy LS soundcard. I also have a BOSS DR-550 Drum Machine and 3 external MIDI systems,a Roland XP-10 keyboard, a YAMAHA TX81Z and an EMS-100.

Most of the time my guitar is processed through a Johnson J-Station
with an Epiphone 5-watt tube head driving a 2X10 cab, my Line 6 Spider III 30 or my 3 watt mini tube combo . I also have a POD and a Behringer Bass V-AMP.

All this feeds through a Behringer Eurorack mixing desk - most times I record some mixture of direct and miked sound to give it all some live feel.
