Jim's Tips & Tricks - MOOG Looping Jam 1/2/3
Sept. 7, 2012 - felt inspired to do a looping jam, using only sounds from my Moog Little Phatty. The metronome of my BOSS RC-2 Loopstation is used only to start the jam and is dropped very soon after the rhythmic component is done. I did three jams, they are all here for the viewing. Thanks for watching!
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
