I started playing with a 4 track when my brother got one for Christmas, when I was about 15 or 16. I Got a Digital 8-track for Christmas when I was 19. I farted around with that peice of shit for about a year, than ditched it for a Pro-Tools Digi-001 and a custom built PC. Shortly after I got the "001", the lovely beast known as the Tascam 388 came into my life. I used this set up extensivly over the past couple years. I recently moved into a space in Holyoke, MA. After moving in to the space, things got slightly more serious. I came to realize that to do what I want to do, I needed to make some upgrades. The 388 is great, but It can only record 8 tracks at a time. I really like to track bands live, so most times 8 just wasnt enough. I upgraded to a Mac Book Pro (17", maxed out) and an Apogee Ensemble. I switched from Pro Tools to Logic Pro. As of now, I can record 10 tracks at a time. Not a huge jump, but enough for me as of now. The current system is expandable to 18 inputs, so I have plenty of room to grow. I racked up a couple preamps, a decent compressor/limiter, and a power conditioner, so now my rig is portable as well... Im pretty pumped on it. Two of the recordings up here were done with the old system, Loaded Up Pretty, from my band Classic Face's demo, and The Market, from my old bands demo. Through This Doorway by Electric Eyes was the first recording I did on the new system, and im pretty pumped on it.
I will NOT record anything racist, homophobic, or sexist. Please avoid an awkward situation and a huge waste of time, and take your business elsewhere...

I share my space with a small group of musicians/bands. I have to honor their schedule, so booking consecutive days must be done well in advance. A small charge may apply if another bands practice time is cancelled for our recording time. This is because bands pay rent to practice there, if we use their time, than they are not getting what they pay for. The cash will be given to the band to soften the blow of lost jam time...
