Lookin forward to it.

Coming from someone with a background in studio production and recording, if you can produce something like that at your age (or any age), with a "crappy white computer mic" you're a prodigy and/or MacGeyver. You'd distort the diaphragm of those mics just by breathing into them.... let alone blasting a marshall stack.

Cmon now, you can't lie to Uncle Kai!

Ok..you'll see.......age has nothing to do with it...well...maybe a little bit...but..it all depends on determination and skillzzzzz.

and with the blasting of the mic...the amp wasnt all that loud...

...ill be MacGeyver....

I have quite a few instruments and before quitting private lessons I was getting pretty good. Anymore the stuff just sits around. For example, right now my Silver Sparkle Maple kick drum is sitting underneath my video monitor as a stand! (well, inside of an SKB case, of course!) My cherry Gibson flame maple LP hasn't been out of the case in, oh, five months or so. I play the acoustics occasionally. Gee, I wonder what happened. I used to like music...
 
Studio Plus Les Paul with Flame Maple top, Rosewood fingerboard and Silver hardware. Ain't bad.
Most of my loot is in esoteric handmade pedals, some from Oklahoma as it turns out! (I have serial number #1000 of the Keeley Compressor!)

Any musicians around here? What do you play?

Probably nothing, anymore. Haven't picked up any of them in months/years, so the skills are gone.

These days, I just let the computer do the heavy lifting.

And, after listening to blckhawk542's little guitar ditty, I'm too embarrassed to pick up any of them again.

Anyway, the things I don't play anymore: guitar, bass, one-handed keys. And buried even deeper in the attic are the clarinet & sax.
 
I know a musician here, but I don't know if I can say his name. They're all musicians in his family. but since he's not here for music I won't tell his name

Believe or not, I used to listen to 3T? What ever happend to those guys?! :undecided
 
archtop guitars are the $*%t! i just bought an eastman archtop last year. my first real jazz guitar (been playing guitar since 1980). it's gorgeous. an instrument i'll keep for the rest of my life. i also just bought a gibson 1975 les paul from my friend, brian baker (minor threat, bad religion) he leant it to me after my sweet '79 gibson SG was stolen on the last thievery corporation tour when we were in bulgaria. he found a new gold top LP and offered a price i couldn't refuse... sucks to loose an instrument, though.

i play: guitar, sitar and the usual smatering of everything else.

my bands: fort knox five, thievery corporation, international velvet, liftoff and thunderball.

I'm a professional musician currently working as drummer, percussionist and foley artist for "The Tournament Of Kings" at the Excalibur Hotel here in Las Vegas, NV.
I also fight with the keyboard...

In addition, I also have a post production studio that I use for various applications, primarily underscoring for film & video, ADR work, sound design and so forth.

That's awesome, man. I worked in a record store in Boulder, CO for many years and "The Mirror Conspiracy" was a store favorite. I'm a dub addict myself. I'm into the heavy roots feel ala Scientist, Lee Perry, King Tubby, and On-U sound. I've got to check out your other projects. If they are anything like Thievery Corp., I'm sure I'd be into it.
 
Piano...well, keyboards actually. Started off with a Roland Juno 6 synthesizer back in the 80's and eventually graduated to the piano.

Was in and out of rock bands for 12 years. I ran the gamut from "new wave" to southern blues-gospel.

Before the synth I played drums :)

got to love the dub. desmond williams (who had an album on eslmusic before a splitup) was the engineer on "the mirror conspiracy" he was scientist's "protege."
 
Damn blckhawk542, you've got skills, man! I just watched the video and was WAY impressed. If the filmmaking career doesn't go anywhere, you've got a future in Rock N Roll. Nicely done. (a non-sarcastic) :thumbsup:
 
Thanks!!

I'm still tryin to learn the full song of Turkish March..if you noticed..I cut out the whole crazy fast part...still gatta learn it by ear..its takin forever.

Hopefully...the filmmaking career works.....I heard musicians dont make good money...even if their famous...*bites nails* AAH!!
