Hello,
I have been involved in music since a very early age. I started out in the first grade playing a ukelele for a talent contest while standing on a chair so I could reach the microphone. I was crushed when I only took 2nd place.
I progressed to a trumpet by the fourth grade. By the 7th grade my dad & I built my first guitar. (I wish I still had it!) Dad had been playing guitar for years. So from the 7th grade until I graduated high school I played both the trumpet & the guitar. I played the trumpet in the high school concert & marching band. The guitar I played in rock bands playing wherever we could which when you are in junior high school is places like sock hops & skating rinks. By college I was playing in bars for some almost serious money. After college we were practicing 3 days a week & trying to play as many weekends as we could.
As time went on recording these bands became fun as well. Nowdays I lose count of just how many guitars I have. It is certainly more than I NEED but not nearly as many as I want!
This web site stems from the love of music and especially for the guitar. I kept recording with ever improving quality. These recording rigs went from really low budget mono reel to reel recorders up to multi-track reel to reel recorders. Eventually we got into an Alesis ADAT recorder for our first home recorded CD. Now we have moved on yet again to a fully digital recording system with a PC and an outboard A/D converter system.
While I look back with fondness on these past systems, I don’t really miss them all that much. They were easier to master, certainly, but they always had unwanted noises & limitations (such as no “undo”!) that we depend on today.
