- TouchOSC: Controlling Logic Video How-to
I made this video to show how I connected TouchOSC to Logic to control whatever you like. I wanted a free open-source route so I used MIDI Patchbay and Pure Data instead of OSCulator. Check it out and let me know what you think. It’s available in HD so fullscreen that baby.
- Intua, you are a genius
BeatMaker was just updated today and it is a big one. Besides listening to their users (take note all you iPhone developers, especially you Gameloft) and vastly expanding their sequencer so you can get down to the 1/64T level, they have had added the ability to sample sounds using either the built-in mic on the [...]
- Some thoughts on recording bass guitar
As a bass player, I am used to conforming to the will of others. Typically my amp isn’t as loud as I like it or I can’t here myself as well as I would prefer or I am pushed into a corner on stage. These things honestly don’t bother me that much. Well the stage [...]
- Just thinking about recording
It has been a goal for the band to record in Nashville. My brother-in-law went to school in Nashville for music business and is now getting himself established in the highly competitive world of recording in the most competitive city in the country. This all means that we have the opportunity to go record for much less [...]
- P-Bass Rebirth
It is finally finished. After my parts finally got rerouted back to me from basspartsresource.com I was able to get down to business and finish the bass. Here is a recap of the project:
I purchased a 2006 Highway One Precision Bass about a month ago. I knew I wanted to make some changes to it [...]
- A New Member of the Family
Just picked it up last night. It is a 2006 Fender Precision Highway One. I love the nitro finish on it and the upgraded bridge is nice. I need to clean it up, slap some new strings on it, and then play the crap out of it. Can’t wait.
- The Search
Ok, I missed a show wrap-up a while ago, but it was so close to our show at Spin that it just didn’t seem that important. However, I completely forgot that I played a second bass, and that is important.
My friend Chad had a great Japanese made Precision bass that wasn’t seeing any action and let me [...]
- Show Wrap Up
Tyler Bender played at Spin this past weekend and it was interesting.
First, parking in Broad Ripple is ridiculous. I had to park at my buddies office which was like three blocks away from the venue. I knew Broad Ripple was the place to be, but there is no where to park. All of the parking lots [...]
- The first modification
I realized last week that I have had my current bass for something like six years now. I bought my NS2000/5 from Mars Music, when there still was a Mars Music, while working there in high school. It was a huge step up for me. My first bass was a Dean that cost $130 dollars [...]
- The Romantic Warrior
This past weekend I had opportunity to see Return To Forever play at the Murat Theatre as part of their 2008 reunion tour. It was, quite simply, one of the best concerts I have ever seen.
Return To Forever hasn’t played as a group for 25 years, which means during their hay day I wasn’t [...]
