(..) I have been playing music
for many years and I started out playing guitar in rock bands in
the early eighties. I later worked as a technician on the road for
major bands like Poison, Whitesnake and Metallica, etc. This was
a great oppurtunity to learn more about the music business. After
quitting the touring I began to play music again since I didn't
get a lot of chance to play while working for other bands. My interests
began to lean more towards piano and less towards guitar. I bought
a baby grand piano and have since began writing and recording songs.
My basic setup is a pentium III 550 , 128 ram, gadgetlabs 424, roland
m-160 line mixer, Rode NT1 microphone, AKG CS100s microphone and
of course my piano and n-track. I tried other multitrack software
but n-track was the only one I was able to just sit down and start
using immediately. It is so much more intuitive than the other software
out there which I think is so important because it allows you to
spend more time creating and less time learning.

Tips and Tricks from Steve
Rasmussen using n-Track Studio. |
| (..)
I think one of the
most important lessons I have learned about recording is that
just because you have a pile of plugins doesn't mean you have
to use them. No plugin is going to replace a good clean well
recorded track. I am learning through trial and error that less
is more when it comes to effects. I have just completed my CD
with 7 songs and I couldn't have done it without n-track. |
