About Me

TO MAKE IT MORE INTERESTING I WILL UPLOAD DEMOS AND FIRST TAKES PERIODICALLY. I find the e-musical universe to be a welcoming and amazing place to share and experience everyones efforts. I have been influenced by many of you...so I’m glad to be able to share some of my songs also. I made these songs in my living room. I used humble gear: SM57 microphones, an ART tube pre-amp and an M-audio Delta 66 sound card. I recorded and mixed using Audacity. All the songs are written and arranged by me (mostly happy accidents) with the exception of a few traditional old timey lyrics. I will also try to post some experimental collaborations that came out of friend "jams". The flaming head and other artwork is also done by me. Cheers, Aaron.P.S. (My secret plan was to surrender to pure I AM Consciousness...but my ego caught wind and put up a hell of a vicious fight for survival...these pages are the result...thanks for nothing Eckhart! haha!)

Unhappy with Apogee Duet Hiss

Hello all,I have had a lot of problems with the "hiss" of my Apogee duet. Initially I thought it was my poor skills with Logic and condenser mics that was creating these issues. I could never get an a...

Clean Recording AKA eliminating mic and room noise

I noticed most of my songs still had an unsatisfying "hiss" in the background. I'm using the Apogee Duet...so I thought it might be the preamps. I can't afford outboard preamps right now...so I called...
