The result of Metal influence & a pile of analog synthesis/Drums. Being a fan of “Doom metal” & a synth freak can be rather conflicting at times. In an attempt to converge the two I figured some Amp (more importantly Cab) sound was in order. I tracked the dominant synth & bass lines with...

Thanks for the listen. The snare & kit bus has a verb send, but allot of the ambiance is compressed room mics.

Somewhat new to these parts, this is a experimental piece that falls somewhere between composed music & sound design. Kicks in around :36 in. Featuring my usual collage of live Drums, Analog synth chaos, Rhodes, Dist Bass, & location recording. A special thank you to Steve Duff for the Guitar...

Having the laptop involved will be a a never-ending headache. Get yourself a used aphex dominator II & be done with it.

The TC sounds great & the pres/di is very usable. Haven't heard the current Focus line. I just have a bad association with them from having to maintain a dodgy ISA console for some time. I've analyzed a handful of interfaces with a D-Scope & the TC holds it own in comparison to other high end...

I've had reaper kickin around for the last few years for "utility" use. I've been a PT@work & Sonor@home user for years. Just re-setup my home rig with a new i7 this last weekend I had all I could take with the pile of ass that is X1. So I thought hey great PT 9 to the rescue I'll feel more at...

If you only need 2 channels the API is great. It's on-board A/D is top notch. Will pairup perfectly with your mbox spdif. I setup a mobile rig for a guitarist with that very setup. The mbox will have nothing to do with your sound with this setup. It's just a spdif hole with a usb cable. But a...

All depends $. You did say "affordable" so i'll take that as on the low end of the spectrum. With low budget in mind I would go for a audix or sennheiser eSereis drum pack. Pre's & conversion (audio interface) all depends on budget as well. A dual adat card + 2 8ch combo adat/pres would be the...
