Video Blog - Aug 31/2012 - INCURA keyboard rig demo #2
Another demo of my INCURA keyboard rig, sorry it was shot with an iPhone so the audio isn't a clean signal. I wanted to get this done after a rehearsal so I had to just shoot it with what I had. My last keyboard rig demo was made when we were opening for Apocalyptica, but the PA was turned off, so this time I can show you some of the sounds. Thanks for watching!
Beach VLOGS!
Took my iPhone, iPod touch, Line6 Mobile In, my Strat and some headphones to Iona Beach. Had a great time out in the clean air, jamming with JamUp Pro and my Korg Monotron Duo in video #1.
In video #2 I got the guitar out and jammed with JAMMIT on the iPhone, along with some of my favourite RUSH and YES songs!
Of course, because I was filming it, I had to bring my iPod touch in order to record the audio from the iPhone - I used Multitrack DAW and an iRig to get the signal in. Enjoy!

Test for Echo (RUSH cover) - recorded in 1999!
Click HERE for Soundcloud link- TEST FOR ECHO
Recorded in August 1999 - thirteen years ago!
This was the last song I ever recorded to TAPE. A Tascam Portastudio 424 to be precise. This is a cover of RUSH's "Test for Echo". I played bass, drums, guitar and sung the vocals. The guitars and vocals were only ever meant to be scratch tracks but I never ended up redo-ing them. Proud of the bass and drum work though.
This was back in the days before I'd ever heard of autotune, non-linear editing, drum replacement, or audio quantizing (I know it existed but I didn't know any of that fancy stuff!)
Iust put microphones in front of instruments and hit record. I used to record 4 tracks of drums (using a submixer to mix to 4 tracks), then bounce to DAT. Bounced that DAT mix to 2 fresh tracks of a NEW cassette then recorded two more tracks (usually bass and a rhythm guitar). Bounced that to DAT - repeat and rinse.
Used an Alesis Midiverb II for all effects and an Ibanez guitar compressor pedal for the snare drum!!
Good old days:) Enjoy

Jim's Tips & Tricks: Late Night Analog and iOS Jam #2
Another late-night jam, writing a large piece of music right now, which is why I haven't uploaded anything in awhile - it'll all be worth it! Decided to get out some gear and just jam it all up. Korg Monotribe, iPad running Sampletank (controlled by Casio 88 note keyboard), and iPhone running Geosynth. Took the time to record it all into Pro Tools to make it sound prettier.
Enjoy, thanks for watching!
