Eternal Optimist. I am also a musician, guitar player, songwriter & recording enthusiast. 'Dream Secret' is the name of the rock band I am part & parcel of. Essentially [Dream Secret] is just me & Mark K, my buddy since high school. We are a 2 man operation with very little 'over-head.' We've been working on & off on an album that's just about ripe. With the exception of a few [drum tracks] Mark & I play all the instruments ourselves. Please visit our IAC page anytime! http://iacmusic.com/artist.aspx?id=30181 Positive Thinking Reigns Supreme.

Happy New Year,
Sounded really good!
Hope 2007 will be a good year!
Thanks for your message. I love music and am lucky to have the gift of voice. I always appreciate the creation of good new music.
Best of luck for 2007

I'll have to check out those pre's. I have a pretty basic setup in terms of recording. An Mbox, a MXL990 mic and a SM57 mic. These I plug right into the Mbox. I'm thinking I should have some sort of affects loop or pre-amp in play and will investigate the ones you are using. I recently invested a wise $150 on a used full version of Ableton Live 5 from a fellow on craigslist, and it is probably the best investment I've made.
My dream is to someday build a 1 room studio detached from the house and professionally soundproofed so I can go in there and do my thing without being concious of the neighbors listening. Some day...
Thank you for your nice post on the blog mate.
Nice groove, dude! Keep on rocking!

Thanks everyone for your comments!
Gary, tubes are the way to go. There is some debate over this-however I can't live without tube-based equipment.
If you do decide to get tube/valve pre-amps,yank out those crappy Chinese & Russian tubes & get some NOS [vintage] tubes as replacements. You'll hear the difference.
Thanks again everyone! Ed
Hi Ed, so glad you're getting such great feedback! You deserve it. Let me know when there's more on the way ;-)
