About Me


Jake Waidelich has been writing and recording songs since 1990. Prefering to usually create songs with acoustic guitar and then layering with electric and bass, sometimes keyboards and other psychedelic embellishments. In the mid 90's Jake actually stopped playing with himself for awhile and was co-songwriter, guitarist, and backing vocalist for the band SOOT GENRE which played many parties and a coffee shop in Old Town Lansing MI.
After their main vocalist left for better things then the band tried to keep it together as 80 Cubic Inches for a year or so. This didn't develop into much and they never refound the magic that once was. I still remember the dreams that we once shared and 'what could have been'...
mySpace is blocking most of my links to free downloads of my songs on the saying they are "naughty phishing sites" and "spam" WTF? Go here for a free screencleaning. http://ezfolk.com/screenclean.swf

EVERYTHING TO ME

I use Audacity for mastering my tracks. You can download their program for free and record and mix multiple tracks and edit with built in effects or add additional VST plug-ins.

I use Cakewalk Music Creator if I plan on adding a rhythm section to my song. I'm still trying to figure out how to create drum patterns that fit with my music.

I am currently hosting some of my songs at 4shared.com

ezFOLK! allows unlimited songs and you can sell them if you want and it is pretty easy to figure out. Plus you don't get friend requests from spammers!

And of course I enjoy using Project Opus. You can add the player to any site. Sell songs if you're an artist, or create playlists as a fan.


Record Label: unsigned
Type of Label: Indie
