Ever buy a piece of music gear and end up leaving it sitting there, never used? Well, that’s what I’ve done with the Tascam DP24 multitrack recorder. I’m sure it’s a great piece of gear, but I don’t know that for sure… Yet. I bought it so I could have something I could record…
I love knives of all sorts. Pocket knives, hunting, fishing, utility knives, auto openers, fixed blades, OTF (Out the Front), scuba, survival, tactical… whatever the case may be. But at the end of the day (well, at the end of my days, these days), sometimes all you really need is a small pocket knife (if…
There really are countless virtual software instruments out there. So much software, so many different instruments to choose from. How does one even get started?

Turn on Phantom Power Before or After I usually…
Now that AI is on the scene, why bother creating music? I’ve actually purchased a SUNO AI subscription and have had a go at prompting out some “original” music. Just to say that I’ve tried it (even though I paid for the premium plan). And the quality of the recordings is something I cannot match,…
I don’t mean, what if we took the internet away… all of a sudden… but rather if it didn’t exist at all today (2026). Although that would be an interesting situation to contemplate, for sure – stripping it away from our current, completely reliant selves all of a sudden. I’m not going to lie, that…
