  • Influences

    My musical tastes lie in straight ahead jazz, contemporary jazz, R&B (mainly old skool). hip-hop (old skool), downtempo, deep house, electronica, dub, ska, breakbeat, nu jazz, trip-hop, brokenbeat,old soul, neo-soul,ambient, classical, new world, electro, two-step, garage house, techno, turntablism, reggae, rock, and gotta have gospel. The music I enjoy the most (outside of jazz) is often termed eclectic by most who know me.

    I've had the great opportunity record tracks on CD releases of two of the most talented artists I have personally come across. It was a sheer pleasure from start to finish and I'm happy I got the chance to share the gift He gave me in this way:

    Only at the door. I'm not sure there are tickets. I think $10 at the door. Try the orchestra drums in the exs24.

    Depends on what plugins are on the channel. Also, make sure you don't have any plugins enabled on the master out. Not only will they cause a delay - (hearing) but they will physically cause the track to be recorded late.
    Maurice Chevalier Davis





    Apr 5 2008 2:35 AM

    Yeah - I understand.."straight-in". But make sure you disable software monitoring. If you're still getting latency - then it's probably some setting associated with the MOTU.
    Maurice Chevalier Davis





    Apr 5 2008 12:58 AM

    Be careful of using plugins while recording - especially limiters. They create huge signal delays.
