Back in the day, I had a friend who had a studio in his house. His equipment was quite good on isolating vocals. But now that I am older and living in another state. I have my own setup. And let us say it is not quite operational. I seem to be having trouble isolating the microphone from the cakewalk on my pc. Cakewalk Sonar Producer is new and I am going to have to read the book. I have much work to do on learning this software. I do not have any trouble mixing the music. But it has many other tools that I am not quite familiar with. I have heard that others may have had difficulty with Sonar as well.

It is not like FL Studio where you can just jump in and use the step sequencer. It is more tedious. It is like trying to search for something that is not there. The effects in my older Home Studio were just as good or even better. Anyway that is my cheap home studio update for now.

In the realm of possibility there is a closure to the events placed on this planet. Many of the things I care about are real and substantial in the event of an armageddon. What are the choices we face today in a world with such a crisis? Although from time to time, I ponder the horrors we could face in this modern age, do we have hope? In the event of such a crisis, is there a way out? Many of you believe that the world will truly end. It is this type of thinking that could make it a very real possibility. Do not forget the power you hold as a creator.

Times of desperate measures were created by those that had no conscience to care about the end result. Short term greed decisions led this country to a time of peril. The real question is: what now? Do you see a reconstruction of such bad decisions? Do we learn from these mistakes and build a more solid foundation of financial security? Many people are losing their jobs everyday. What events will occur to make these families able to survive in such a bad time. Is this justice? Or is this just an end result of greed and evil on planet Earth?

Many of the decisions that we make affect each other in a grand scale. It is very important to realize that we are a race that needs to gain positive wisdom and create a more mature outlook on our future. End the corruption. But to do so would be in a way not to cause harm or demand another civil war. We do not need a civil war. We need people that care to help guide to a better more solid secure lifestyle.

In the land of Paradise a world was created with vast resources to maintain Utopia for the Architects of Light. Perfect humans reigned the Earth with all of the knowledge of the Universe. Angels in Heaven became jealous of this creation and raged war with the Creator. A great battle in Heaven took place and humans were altered, breed, and influenced by these fallen Angels. Much technology was lost and destroyed. any of the roots to the original creator were cut off in the material world. Atlantis fell.

We are now the result of this due to many battles that have raged on for the land of paradise. Although many religions have been created. It is theological history of these events that only give us bits and pieces of what we are capable of. Our true potential to again become the Architects of Light is still there. Hidden deep within our DNA are the codes to our Creator. There are many here in this planet that want to remain controlling us and keeping us confused in fear. For if such knowledge were to be reactivated, humans would then again inherit their original godlike state.

Alien wars still rage to this day in competition to the land of paradise. It is a hidden agenda kept secret from the common human. Eventually the creator will come again and set justice upon this world. When that day comes, the wars will cease. The land of paradise will be born again into an age known as the Golden Age. In this time technology will reach new heights. We will have free energy, the end to poverty, hunger, and disease. Until that final day of judgment much evil must be perished into the Netherworld.

For the Earth to be again back into its paradise state. The world of duality must come to an end. the lesson of Love then begins.

I spend most of my time with my children. They are very young and I am with them 24/7. This means that I have less time for career oriented goals outside the home. What does this mean? It means that my home office is very important regarding any career choices that I make right now. I am at a crossroads between a writing career and a music career. The way it looks right now, I have a handful of fans regarding my electronica. It is not a profitable venture due to the high competition of the music industry.

However, my youtube videos have been very successful. My spiritual music videos are getting attention. I am getting more and more subscribers. This is a good thing. What this means is that my spiritual wisdom is gearing me up for more creative ideas. So you may see some serious changes regarding the direction I will take with this website. My electronica music will be secondary. My spiritual writing will be emphasized. It seems that more people are interested in the secrets of the Universe. Maybe I can help provide some of those answers.

With all the problems going on in the world, I still move forward into my own energy. I feel that if I remain balanced within my own personal power, I can make a difference in some way. Even if that difference is very small. Because if one person can be affected, that alone could change the world. It only takes one person to understand. And that understanding can spread to the next person. The pattern can repeat. Inspiration may lead to a positive change for someone in need. So it does make a difference to try and center your energies and not let life get you down. You can live a very good life within your own universe. Maybe your universe can help others realize their true potential as well as a creator.

Due to economic problems and budgeting, no equipment upgrade this year. Even after all the research I put into finding a solution, many things I considered did not come to a conclusion. I have upgraded my computer layout in my home studio with a new edition 64 bit alienware computer. The hardware presented does not work or does not calibrate to a 64 bit system. There is absolutely no point in buying any hardware until this problem finds a solution. The solution is to wait for technology to catch up to a 64 bit standard.

Due to the overwhleming debt I had to face many fiscal responsible actions to maintain a balance in my budget. The new workstations that are available are very expensive. Much of what was presented in demos do not compete to the ease of virtual digital workstation production. It is much easier to program electronic music into a virtual software scenario. I am still considering doing a software upgrade to my music production. A new microphone will be here soon to upgrade vocal quality. Although I have used FL Studio Demo for quite sometime, I still find myself staring into oblivion.

In my opinion, there needs to be a new software program developed that touches the FL Studio feel but integrates a better more user friendly environment with better music virtual instrument packs and an easier solution to audio recording. FL Studio is very unique and quirky in its layout. I like the step sequencer but the mixer is confusing. Inserting different effects and plugins should be assigned to each track with ease. Instead I find that the insert reverb or master effect should not affect the whole song pattern creation. There must be a way to assign individual effects to each track or arrangement with just a click of a button. So I will not invest in FL Studio due to its weirdness. I found it much easier to record a vocal in an older cakewalk program. This tells me that if you are going to make a cool software program that does step recording, you should also be able to do audio recording with just as much easy user friendly integration. Therefore, Cakewalk Home Studio XL will be a better choice. A future purchase of this program is assigned for next year.

Why next year, because right now my fan count is very low. I need to focus more on marketing and web design at the moment. If no one knows I exist, it is pointless to invest in better equipment. I can write the coolest electronic music in the world, yet no one will hear it. Maybe a handful of fans will have admiration yet the overall goal looks very grim indeed. I am in a crossroads right now when it comes to my music and I will be making some decisions in the near future regarding the direction I will take to balance out my desires in music creation.

Lately, I have been busy doing research on new studio equipment. I have to say it is very time consuming. Not only have I changed my mind several 100 times, I went from not getting anything at all to wanting this and that. I am having a hard time deciding on the strategy to go about recording. There are so many different ways you can go about it.

The first strategy I found is midi using a keyboard and DAW (Digital Audio Workstation) software like Protools, Cubase, Sonar, etc. The second strategy is to buy a hard disk recorder and a keyboard. The third strategy is the one I have created: use a Tascam audio box with any keyboard and pump it through Cubase. With the third strategy I could use a usb microphone in Cubase with the audio coming from the keyboard. Convert those into a wave. Master the wave. Convert to mp3. Bingo.

As far as keyboards: I am currently looking at Yamaha MO6 or Korg M50. I am definitely getting Propellerhead Reason and Cubase for DAW. I am getting a USB condenser Microphone called a CAD U37. I already own conversion and mastering software. So, this should be all I need to create cool electronica and electronic alternative music. Wish me luck. Because by the time you get through reading this, I will change my mind again. I will be sure and let you know on what I decide after the big purchase. And if I change my mind while I am making a purchase this could be quite challenging indeed. There are so many choices.

Electronica music appeals to me. I drooled over some keyboard workstations that had their own factory stock sounds. I drooled over the Korg M3. I drooled over the Roland Fantom G Series. Then they raised my power bill. It was like someone just came in and punched me in the gut. I looked at my budget and tried to pull my hair out. And then I realized my hair was too short.

So then I decided to go the midi route because I am getting a new computer with 12 Gigabytes of RAM. So I said to myself, “There has to be a better cheaper way to fit my genre.” Then I stumbled across Propellerhead Reason Studio. Bingo! That is my solution. Get a nice computer microphone, a midi controller keyboard and this studio and I am in business. That is my final game plan.

Going through rough times, we needed to free up more money for food and keep me writing music. This is the best strategy. I am not rich. This is the best way to go for me right now. I am not very good on music promotion because I do not have the money to promote myself. But to those fans that do know me, thank you for listening to my music. Maybe one day when I am done creating my own drums and sounds, I will start a new cool groovy style of electronic music. Who knows? Either way, at least I won’t get depressed. It will also take some time for me to get to learn the new software.

I guess when the new music rolls in on the website you will get to hear the major difference in quality. This is a good thing. I will keep you posted.

I got my dusty Kurzweil K2000 out and started laying down tracks. That old keyboard is out dated but it stills works well. The floppy drive is kind of humorous. Yet, I layed down a few tracks and I have to say, it sounded like the Cars. The 80s sounds in that workstation definitely make me an 80s new wave composer.

This is why it is important for me to upgrade to another workstation. I have been for quite sometime writing music using fruity loops studio. The electronica music that I have been composing is just lifeless. There is not any of the passion that I used to have in my newest music. All that is about to change. I decided instead of getting the Korg M50 to get the M3 instead. It is a better workstation and meets all my standards regarding today’s technology.

Hopefully after upgrading my equipment, I will get back to what I had before everything went down hill. So everything should get back on track for me once I have this new workstation. I may mix some dance loops with the Korg. I may mix the Kurzweil with the Korg. I may do all three. But the important thing is I am going to be writing better higher quality music in the near future.

I am overwhelmed. I have been doing studio research for the past week. I have to say it was a heavy chore. The possibilities are endless. First of all, I had to find a way to improve my vocal quality in my music. This would be solved by getting a better microphone. The problem was, I was using an older version of Cakewalk Home Studio on Windows Vista. So every time I tried using a USB microphone on the Cakewalk it would get confused and shut down the program. This was very frustrating for me.

So I did the unbelievable. I started a Dell account and got me a new computer. It will have 1 Terrabyte 7200 rpm hard drive with the sweet spot – 12 GB RAM. That is Right – 12 GB. That means what ever DAW I use it will not lock up or freeze. I am also going to get Cubase Studio and the new Fruity Loops Studio Software. So that should cover my editing and mixing capability.

Now, the keyboard issue: My old Kurzweil just did not do well with technology increasing the way it is. For god’s sake it has a floppy drive and a SCSI port. Internal battery is low 2.2 volts. Ok. Which means it is a piece of crap. So I looked into trying to find a better keyboard workstation. At first, I wanted to get the big Roland Fantom G6 – But I can’t afford it. So I decided to get the New Korg M50. I always wanted a Korg anyway. So that works. I know I won’t be disappointed.

As far as the microphone goes, I am going to get the USB MXL 990. I think it will do what I want for the new CPU. It also has a case and a little desktop stand. I’ll be getting me some USB Studio Monitors so I can use the CPU and play my keyboard at the same time. This comes in handy. All this should be up and running by late February or early March.

It got very tiresome for me to figure out a new strategy. I use FL Studio quite a bit in the demo version so I know that will be nice to have getting the full version. Cubase will take a while for me to learn. But overall, I will have a workhorse computer that can handle anything I throw at it. And fixing the Mic problem will help too. So overall, I rate my choices a 4 out of 5 stars.

I will have to wait until I get more money to buy the nicer keyboard workstation. But all good things come in time.
