You are now crowned ‘Toronto-Joel’.

Joelronto?

Spooky track. Thanks for sharing. Delay… hmmm. That doesn’t inspire confidence. I will continue to look for a demo somewhere.

Anyway, well, the only track I’ve used the ControlPad on was the very first one I posted on this site, ‘Acquaintances’. I didn’t edit the drums at all (still haven’t and despite what I said, I think I might go back and fix them). But that’s a result of me not being able to hear the music over the sound of me hitting the pads with my sticks. Also, there was a bit of a delay to begin with, and I don’t think it was entirely Logic’s fault.

Anyway, check it out. That’s just me trying to do some ghost-ish marching snare drum, with a bit of flange on top.

I rented a padKontrol, but in the end decided to buy a Launchpad. I lose on velocity, but gain on Ableton integration. (Not much interest to you.)

So I’m imagining myself on stage with the Launchpad controlling scenes, and the ControlPad letting me expend a little energy. To be honest, I haven’t even tried one, I haven’t found one in stock at L&Mc, so I would have to order it before trying. Hmmm.

2- I will definitely take a look at installing that plugin. Thanks for bringing it to my attention!

First purchase was two DI boxes. A sexy one (Radial ProAV2) and a cheap one (Digiflex).

Next flagrant wish item might just be an Alesis ControlPad. I like the theatrical potential of having something to beat on while I’m on stage. But I’ll do some more brainstorming and come up with my own wish list, at $11k. (And I’ll be mindful of the taxes!)

GO!

I want to pretend to play the game too. I want to make a list! How much $ do I get (to pretend) to have?

And do you have a mandate for the type of work your studio will do?

In the meantime (hate to turn this into an ad, but still), my music is featured on ‘The Curtis and Tara show’, and I believe they’ll soon be using my services for an episode of their show.
