Photo 2Happy New Year Everyone.  Wow I can’t believe it’s 2010!  It feels like yesterday when I was a young kid tinkering in my room with my Apple Mac Plus (60mb Ehman Hard Drive, 4mb of Ram)  a DX-7, MOTU Performer 1.0 and my MidiMan midi interface.  Boy times have sure changed.  In those days (1980’s) a dream setup was a Synclavier or a Fairlight system costing $200k or more. Now, get  a new iMac 27″, Logic Audio (or insert your favorite DAW here)  and an audio interface and you got one sweet system.  This system is obviously much cheaper and it sure takes up a lot less space.

Enough gear talk.  Lets talk about BandmateLoops.com and the idea behind this blog. BandmateLoops is expanding and reaching out to our faithful customers and users.  We decided it was time to really take a stab at bringing informative videos, articles, free loops and plugins and perhaps some other goodies to you our customers to help enhance your inner creativity.  Additionally this blog is for you all, if you have an idea and want to contribute just let me know.

Here are some ideas:

  • Send me a recording that you composed or recorded, explain your process and if there were any interesting techniques you employed.
  • Did you find or design an amazing piece of audio/music software or hardware?  Tell me about it and I will post it here!
  • Is there a question or issue you want to discuss?  I wil post the question to the group!
  • Have synth plug-in presets or samples and want to share them? Contact me and let’s discuss getting them posted here!

Anyway, I hope 2010 brings you all health, happiness and hours of creative music making.  I look forward to interacting with you all in the future! If you want to reminisce about your old studio set-ups from the past post your comments here!
