Hobby

I'm involved in a lot of different activities, but the one thing that I'm constantly doing is recording music. I have a lot of musically inclined friends that I bring into the studio to record songs that we've writted, or to just cover a song and see if we can improve on the original version. When we write a song, we'll sit down, agree on a theme that we all find lyrically suitable, then try to write lyrics that are elaborate, but that still make sense.

This is a video of me and my friend Nick McGowan. We wrote, recorded, and edited all the music you hear. We thought it would be cool to add some video to the song so it would be more interesting to the viewer.



This is just a standard way of recording guitars. You use an SM-57 microphone (a standard instrumental recording microphone) to record the instruments, but that requires you to set all of the guitar effects BEFORE you actually start recording. The way my band and my side project (the video is my side project) records is through digital means. We record straight into an interface and then put on effects from the computer. It's easier and saves time, but the quality of the recording may be slightly worse in some areas because you're not getting a "real" sound, just an artificial one.
