Welcome! Isn't that what people who start blogs are supposed to say in their first post? Here is the deal: I have been playing music, in some form or another, for about 25 years. I'm no viruoso on any instrument. In fact, I wouldn't even consider myself to be "great" on any instrument, but I do enjoy it. I play guitar (both acoustic and electric), drums, electric bass, and piano/keyboards...all the rock instruments.
I also happen to be a student in marriage and family therapy, the father of a 7-month-old boy and, consequently, pretty poor. I love to write and record music, but I just don't have the money to buy all the expensive gear I want. So I've had to make some compromises over the years. I have had to find the best deals that I could--gear of reasonable or good quality for cheap.
On this blog, my goal is to share cool, inexpensive gear I find or have bought, share things I learn about music recording and some samples of things I'm working on, and just generally vent about my music obsession. It's what I do to keep myself sane amidst a crazy school, work, and family schedule.
To start, I'd like to share what I think is an amazing deal going on right now. Line 6 seems to be either moving away from their TonePort line or at least moving on from old versions. These are hard to find, because they're selling out everywhere, but check these out: The GearBox Gold Bundle. It comes with Line 6's TonePort USB DI box plus the GearBox Gold amp modeling software for bass and guitar. This thing's MSRP is $700. Right now, on closeout, it's going for less than $100! This is a really, realy good deal. Audiomidi is one of the few places I've been able to find it right now. It's sold at at most online retailers. Go get it!
