How I set up my mobile recording studio

How I set up my mobile home recording studio. First off install EnergyXT which is a straight forward installation, very easy. Then, install as well the Guitar Rig Session for the USB audio interface soundcard. Then the plug n play MIDI keyboard which is Evolution MK-249C. After the installation, try a test run of the software installed as well as the hardware. Then I customized it or open the setup and create necessary folders and directories, etc.

Now, it’s time to plug in the Shure C606 microphone and try if it’s working and if we need to tweak the EQ and reverb. Also try plugging in the guitar or bass and see if it works. Try to record some riff and layer some loops. Save some loops that I created and see how it goes.

Then after using my Philips headphones, I tried plugging in the ION CenterStage to compare the difference and see which part is louder or distorted or any adjustments to be made because sometimes when you use the headset, you think the sound is really clean and balance and great but when you tried it on a proper monitor, the music or instruments are not balanced and sometimes they sound too low or too loud. Well that was my first experience of setting up and recording a sampler.

Front Act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas City

We were invited to do a front act on Introvoys Concert in Roxas. During those time, Introvoys was a big hit especially with their song Line To Heaven and Will I Survive to name afew. There were a lot of bands that time who's going to front act and I can't remember exactly the names but there's one that I can still remember and it's called Freaky Deaky, not sure if the spelling is correct. They sang Nirvana, Offspring, Collective Soul, etc. where they almost consume the entire time for all the frontacts. We were the last band and the organizer asked us to cut short with our setlist and we ended up with just 3 songs. We were not pleased but anyhow, we still chose our 3 best songs and that were Only Wanna Be With You by Hootie And The Blowfish where I was the one who sang it, To Be With You by Mr. Big and our bassist, Dolores sang it then our last song was Hotel California by Eagles where Jingle and I blend together at the ending guitar solo and Louie sang it. The crowd...

Subtle Culprits - new band to follow this 2015

I recently formed a group called Subtle Culprits. It was pure luck to meet all these awesome musicians. It all started with JoinMyBand. I was desperate for a vocalist and do some acoustic duo so I posted on JoinMyBand as well as Gumtree some ads that Im interested for a vocalist to collaborate with and that Im based in Romsey. There were people who showed interest i.e. emailed me and contacted me. There was one as well who came and visited for an audition. I really admired her voice but still didn't work out because it took me awhile to contact her back after that audition due to moving houses. Anyways, she did not reply or show any interest after that. So, I continued trying my luck. The first one to join was Dan. He got interested because we are from the same area (Romsey). So he messaged me and said that he is a songwriter and a musician. Can play guitar but much comfortable with the bass. So we arranged a meetup and chat, and we did. Exchanged some ideas and songs online...
