Something Wicked This Way Comes…. OK maybe not wicked... but new content... that for sure 😉

I see the light

Still Alive and Kicking (around ideas) The struggle of middle aged Dads getting together to make music is real... Scotty came over last night to throw around some ideas, and it looks like fun time will resume with the rest of the guys in September ..

Friday Night Recording Session Been really driven to play/record lately, sooooo, doing just that 🙂 Only problem is vocals will have to wait till next weekend when I'm at the place I can do that properly...

Been a while so I thought I would throw up an update. Yep, we’re still playing. More regularly these days…. Up to two while original songs these days even 😉 We’re actually getting close to the point where we can properly record them, hopefully that will take place at some point this summer. But a couple of pix from last night for shits and giggles 🙂

Still Trucking Along Been a while so I thought I would throw up an update. Yep, we're still playing. More regularly these days....

All in all, we’re still alive :)

The Sound Study

Hey kids, just wanted to do a little bit of shameless self promotion and a quick update. I have been posting audio related stuff to this site and decided recently that I would start doing that on a blog dedicated to the subject instead. So I started a new site and podcast over at TheSoundStudy.com. It’s basically me sharing tips and tricks as I discover them during my audio engineering studies. I…

Ear Training Guide

Hey there good people of internet land, yes we are still alive. Think we’ve gotten into that stereotypical thing of practicing a lot when something is new and then as time goes on everyone scatters back to the reality of that thing called life. It looks like some of us will be getting back together for a jam sessions in a couple of weeks so something may come out of that. Music is something that…

Playing with DAW's

Playing with DAW’s

Man oh man what’s a music geek to do when his band mates are off having lives and stuff? Well last summer I started taking an audio engineering course at a local college to help try and fill the musical itch, and that REALLY solidified my love of the music making process. It was an intro class that basically covered the tracking part of the recording process. As a rather large gadget geek, being…

Analogue vs Tubes vs Modelling Amps

We don’t have a ton going on at the moment because you know… old men… life, etc… So I thought I would start posting audio/music related stuff I found interesting and this is one of those videos. Cool little video of a blind play test of three amps to see if they could determine whether the amp was a an analogue amp, a tube amp or a modelling amp. The two guys in question have played a ton of…

The Token Summer Update

The token summer 2016… as opposed to the toking summer 2016 update… that would be an entirely different blog… anyway… where was I? Oh right what we’ve been up to… Mostly nothing… We suck… Life gets in the way and boys can’t make music together, luckily for me (Rob) I found another related outlet which is taking a recording arts course, finished the first one over the summer which dealt with…

The 360 Project :)

So as you may or may not of noticed I’m a little bit of a gadget junkie, and we finally got a chance to play around with a piece we’ve been waiting for for a long time, our 360 camera. We shot some video last night, and I’m going to start playing around with syncing that with the audio we record, that might take some time to figure out properly, so in the mean time I thought I’d throw up a…

Building A Song Part 3 - Feed Me The Demo

Building A Song Part 3 – Feed Me The Demo

Well enough dilly dallying…. And enough of using old fart words… Dilly dallying?? When did I start saying that? Where was I? Ohhhhh right, the song So a little over a year ago we started this thing, some time in the summer we singled out a riff and built a song around it we later called Feed Me. Unfortunately being middle aged Dad’s spread across a big city finding time to practice is tough, but…

We survived the weekend……. Well first recording weekend was a success, we managed to record Feed Me, raw audio is sounding really good, mixing and mastering next, so you can expect content in the form of stories, pictures and of course the song over the next couple of weeks :)

The Vanishing of The Magic Shop

So last year HBO ran a series called Sonic Highways which was a documentary of the Foo Fighters making an album of the same name. The premise was they traveled around the US to some pretty iconic studios and recorded a song at each. The last studio featured was a New York studio called The Magic Shop, I won’t get into rehashing the whole episode, but the gist was they didn’t think they could stay…

The Countdown Begins

So four weeks from today our first real recording session as a band begins in the woods near Parry Sound, Ontario at the legendary Little Amsterdam Studios, (better known as Jeff’s cottage), but before that can begin we have to round up all the equipment, hook it all up, make sure it’s working well and that process began last night at our mixing/mastering studio Fine Audio Recording Technologies…

Building A Song - Part Two

Building A Song – Part Two

I told you I’d be back with a video! So a while back we started a series called “Building A Song“, basically what we wanted to do was track the process of writing and recording a song for ourselves and for anyone else that may be interested. I had written a riff, brought to the guys, then one practice Scott (the sexy beast singing and playing guitar in this video) suggested we revisit it, we did…
