To all my " musicians and studio friends":

Musicians and studio owners make me smile now a days. Always debating what the best mic, board and DAW to use.

In my older days recording, without all the plug ins and options for sound I used many homemade ideas. Everything was on tape and Synthesizers were mostly out of reach.

Don't get me wrong, I love all my modern tools and goodies to pick from, but just having them does mean it's going to do the job.

I've used a cast iron skillet with a spoon to get an effect. Before synthesizers became available, I needed some background wind noise on a on a ocean type jazz recording. I'll give away my secret I used, "drinking straw blown back and forth across a microphone:)"

When I didn't have a kazoo, I would play a comb. Ever tried it? One time I used rubber bands on a curler box, and used the curlers for a bridge under the rubber bands. Try putting different size cupcake beads in a aluminum pop can. Tape it up and you'll have different sounding maracas.

My point is that there's really no right or wrong way to record you music, but use what works, for what you need to create.

Quick stressing over it. Learn from others and keep on keeping on. Equipment sure helps, but you still need to know how to play and produce.

And don't forget to visit me at MediaGate studio in Natchez.

Love Y'all,
