Shown above are the beginnings of my
next generation reference studio that will be used to confirm the quality of the
follow up to Factory Preset. This photo was taken 05/04/19 in my attic.

Other production tools are
Cubase
SX,
WaveLab and a number of VST instruments. I just finished confirming a dozen
or so of these instruments and plug-ins sound good and work well together. That list is forthcoming, but right
now I am deep into choosing, testing and setup of the reference monitors. It is
a wild loping artistic process that rests on, and is complicated by, the
necessity of knowing a great deal about acoustics, psychoacoustics, computer
technology, composition and music performance. The process would be severely
shunted by documenting it on the fly.
But I can say, m y
current pet peeve with google searches are how often returned links lead only to
repeats of the same commercial content with no actual information.
You know the story: thousands of instances of a
product's name on every sales site in the universe but including only
copy/paste or web service inclusion of xml brochure information--information
that, if not downright misleading, only scratches the surface.
Ironically when I
tried to purchase the Meyer Sound HD-1 speakers shown above (a decision made
years ago with the help of Danny Littwin), I spent several months tracking down a
source. I had gotten to the point of believing they were no longer being made.
Therefore, to save others the effort of figuring out where this stuff came from,
the equipment list above provides links to where each item was purchased.
CAVEAT:
Recently nasty
spyware has kept returning to my computer from parts unkown, so I prefer to phone or visit, rather
than purchase online.
Nobody pays me for putting these links here. I am
not selling anybody's product for them. I am just selling my music and making
sure it is the best it can be. End of story.
