I have funding! The hurdles have been passed, and I have come through, richer on the other end.
Now to spend intelligently! The gear list includes, but is not limited to, the following;
I’d type more, but I’m actually too excited to really get it all out in words.
Just finished my first track (which will actually be track 3) of my RPM Challenge 2010 album. I have a name for the album, but I’m not putting that out until the artwork is all done. Yeah, I’m going all the way.
Anyway, I’ve already gotten farther than I did last year, and I don’t plan on stopping. I have a few other half-finished tracks on the go, hopefully will be uploading them within the week. Also, this track, along with any other RPM tracks, will not appear in the flash player below until they’re all done, or when February ends. So for now, here you go;
Three things:
1. Project R is back on! I know that no one else here thought it was off, and it technically wasn’t, but it was a while since I was able to get any work done on it. That stops this weekend, when I once again turn the internet off, turn Amplitube up to 11, and let it all flow.
2. This morning, I drove behind a guy whose license plate was “DSHITUP”. What do you think it meant? I’m thinking either “Do Shit Up” (maybe Dig?) or “Dish it up”. If it’s the latter, wow. Did you even look at what you were paying $100 for?
3. I just realized that I work with a guy who looks almost exactly like Arthur from Degrassi Junior/High. For anyone who needs a refresher…
I think I should definitely watch the old series again. Best DVD box set ever!
Crazy deal available until Dec 31st 2009
You buy and register one of their listed products (StealthPedal, StealthPedal Deluxe, AmpliTube 2, AmpliTube 2 Crossgrade, AmpliTube Fender™, Ampeg® SVX, AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix™, AmpliTube Metal), and then you get to choose from THREE (3) of their plugins (AmpliTube 2 Crossgrade, Ampeg® SVX, AmpliTube Jimi Hendrix™, AmpliTube Metal, T-RackS 3 Standard, SampleTank 2.5 L, Miroslav Philharmonik CE)
Just got this email from IK Multimedia. I would jump at this deal if I could afford it right now, but unfortunately, I cannot. A few years ago, I did participate in a group buy deal from IK, and I ended up with a ton of samples (SampleTank 2) I never use (it doesn’t really seem like they work… sometimes they do, sometimes they don’t, maybe I’m missing something, maybe I didn’t care enough), but it came with Amplitube 2, which was the free plugin they let me choose. This looks like an incredible deal, but even though I’d be saving $900, I’d be spending over $200 that I don’t currently have to spend.
If only this deal had shown up sometime early next year. I would absolutely love to have that pedal.
The plugins I would probably choose would be Ampeg, T-Racks, and Amplitube Jimi Hendrix. A lot of people prefer Native Instruments’ Guitar Rig, and I’ve tried it, but there’s something about Amplitube 2 that just got me from the start. I think it’s the wonderful crunch sound they emulate that I had difficulty emulating in GR. Perhaps it’s because it seems to take few system resources to run.
