Got a new blog

Post by steevc »

I've blogged in the past about my music making with Linux on http://bagofspoons.net/blog, but the overhead of composing posts on Pyblosxom was meaning I wasn't getting around to it so often lately. So I have started a new blog on Blogger at http://studiospoon.blogspot.co.uk/. This will cover my gear, the software I use and my learning process. I'm no expert on recording, but it may be helpful and/or interesting to someone. I'm open to questions.

As a guitarist, you'd love a Fender Mustang usb amp/input interface.
Dave Philips has one now, if you are near a Guitar Center, 10% off for Easter
means $100 for a no hassle usb source of 12 legendary Fender amp models, and the
fx to surround them with. A dial chooses 24 presets you create/edit, if the factory
ones are of no interest. 'Plug' is the linux editor for this. Fuse is the bundled Mac/Pc
editor. Hear it:

He does indeed, and he loves it. I bought it when it came out, the going price then was ~$100US, they should be less by now. And there are three more models now. so you have plenty of pwoer ranges to choose from.

The PLUG software is still maintained, I just upgraded the other day. It isn't as fancy as Fender's editor, but it's got more than enough features to keep a creative patch builder busy. :) Also, you can upgrade the amplifier's BIOS with PLUG (assuming you have the upgrade image, easily obtained from Fender's site).

My article on the Mustang and PLUG :

It was a popular article, got about 22000 reads.

Best,
