Hardware toys I own a Moog Little Phatty, Yamaha An1x, Akai MPC 2000 and a fun Casio Sk5. Amps I have a Marshall 900 head 100 w, a Yamaha amp head 50w this model licensed Soldano specs. 2 marshall 4x12 cabs one is from the 70s beat up pretty badly but it still sounds amazing. Good handful of pedals and some old efx racks. So yes I can geek out forever about gear. My focus is getting the Digi 003 and a nice preamp either a API or Avalon. I own about 9 guitars, 2 were made from parts.
BOC was a big influence musically but especially on home recording, they made me really thinking about the process of capturing sound and developing my own recording techniques. After reading a bunch of BOC interviews on how they prefer hardware/outboard gear got me thinking mainly about the difference in sound quality with plugins verses hardware: Synths, effects and compressors. Basically I decided to upgrade, hence the Moog and AN1x. Oh yeah can't forget the casio. Being a guitar player I love a micing an amp over a plugin so that convinced me to switch. Plus I need to save on CPU usage
I'm studying audio I want the experience with being able to use some of the big toys.. I had a chance to record at Universal in Los Angeles last summer and I saw the API console in the room, all the preamps, compressors, Rhodes, big room and so. Also a good friend who's a video editor took one of my home demos that summer and used it for a big local type sport show which became the theme song. It just echoed that it can be a reality if I work hard for it, my inner voice said "go back to school." I live to do music/audio hopefully for a living, for film and TV is my main goal. I'd take a guitar for hire gig also.
Besides who wants to work shitty day job?
BOC was an over all inspiration for me. Their music really helped me push myself and think outside of the box.
After I made my account I noticed so many turquoise in people's names.
Maybe start a turquoise bike gang?
