Blues with Bob - a stop off on my long walk
Here's the first tune I did along the way - met up with an old friend at the King John pub in Tollard Royal, Wiltshire and sang a blues about raising some money!

The Blues Scale - a Detailed View of Practice & Technique
zhlédnutí 943Před měsícem
Here is a detailed look at the blues scale, with left and right hand techniques and a closer look at synchronising. A slow and methodical look at guitar is important, as with any other musical instrument, as what happens between the notes is as important as the notes themselves. Messages passing from the brain to the fingers, and along the way involving sight and sound, all play a pivotal role ...
Series-Parallel Wiring - Beefy Sounds for Tele & Strat!
zhlédnutí 668Před měsícem
The series wiring of single coil pickups is a great way to increase output level and get more bass and middle. There is a drop in treble output, but if you’re running through a distortion pedal, that will generate harmonics of its own (that’s effectively what distortion is), and thereby help the lack of highs. In this video, I describe and demonstrate what it can do to the sound of a Telecaster...
Harley Benton E-Steel Travel Guitar
zhlédnutí 1,1KPřed 2 měsíci
This guitar is fantastic - it ticks every box in its design and concept. The finish is nice, the neck's nice, everything's nice. The tuning and intonation are very very good for a guitar with such a short scale, and it tips the scales at a whopping 1130g (2lbs 8oz). I'm doing a charity walk in a couple of weeks' time, and I need a guitar with me. This is a game changer and also very very cheap,...

  • @WildernessMusic_GentleSerene

    Watched to see what you defined as "old" tech. Glad to see you didn't go back to analog tape! What a wonderful workflow to record pure, human, humane, music! No disadvantages on digital to bouncing either, just takes more thought ahead of time, and (as you mentioned) you can always save your progress and copy to a new project to continue and have a backup to step back a few steps. Yea, noise, but gain staging with an analog mixer helps; then a little gain at recorder inputs. I like the sound that my mixer outputs to the digital recorder, better than DI-ing to the recorder. With mixer I get to use up to date effects too. And yes, recording wet always, because of the one take I get totally and fully into the song, I practice for weeks to get all the levels, effects, EQ, performance just the way I want, then, press that record button and go for it. So, I guess after 56 years as musician I am using old technology, and not overdubbing or bouncing anymore either. Today I use a ZoomR24 (out of production SD@16/44.1) with 8 inputs fed from a 32 channel analog mixer with effects axillaries. Been recording this way for 15 years and 70 albums. I also record all in one take, no overdubbing, 32 mixer subbed to 8 (4 stereo) input of the Zoom. Mixdown and done. I have found one flaw in this one-man musician/engineer simultaneous scenario...recording levels are pushed too high. So...:)...I will be adding a computer with Logic Pro soon to do just the stereo finished/mixed song mastering. The lower levels will prevent the minor clipping and ease my mind when performing that all tracks are pristine. Keep up the good work Dan, most good musicians don't need to "see" music. (I am not afraid of computers have been using them since the late 1980s in my graphic design business, I maintain and repair them too).

      All exceptionally wise comments from you for sure. I cut my teeth on a four-track cassette recorder, before going to work for EMI as a technical engineer at Townhouse studios in the mid 90s. I was lucky enough to work with Studer A800 2” tape machines and Ampex ATR-100 stereo machines. Such great sounding stuff!

  • @TheHomeRecordingChannel

    Hi Dan, great video and very informative. I recently picked up a Tascam 2488mk1 for free from a guy who couldn't operate it. As you will know it's the 24 track model, and it's a beast of a machine. I also still use my little Fostex x-30 4 track cassette recorder which sounds great too. Happy recording my friend. Paul.

    I love live multi-tracking, on the tape based Porta studios, love what that does to the sound, also, what a great idea, hold the pop filter, gives you that connection and proximity effect control! (I'll do that from now on) even if I am recording on the computer in a DAW, like reaper, I try and replicate that experience, setup a few channel strips and limit myself to playing one take all the way through and no more than 8 tracks, less is more, more or less! :)

    Hello! I also have a question if you don't mind. I have about 4 revox a77 tape recorders, different mk. All have changed all electrolytic capacitors, all tantalum capacitors and all semi-adjustable. When I listen to music, should it also be heard when I switch the selector to stereo? I can't hear any tape recorder on the stereo, even on ch1 or ch2. I have one more question. Does the volume meter work with any of the revox a77 models when listening to music? As for me, it only works on the rec vometers. Any advice is welcome. Thank you very much. A good evening.

    I wonder if we should stop calling these instruments 'clone'. Hammonds basic concept is to produce a set of tones with harmonics and overtones and mix those together. That is the instrument, just like a guitar is a set of 6 strings. We don't call every guitar 'a clone of ..' something. Nowadays instead of a tone wheel we use transistor based oscillators or even PWM based tones from a microprocessor. Whatever that sounds like, it is the same concept and could be regarded as an instrument on it's own with a specific sound.

    • @DanBakerMusic
      @DanBakerMusic Před 18 dny

      Yes these are wise words indeed. One should also remember that the Hammond was a synthesizer of the church organ, itself designed as a synthesizer of flute, clarinet and trumpet…

    Friend of mine has this soundboard, sadly I only have a mackie pro 12 O.G. I also have a behringer FCA 1616. I can't seem to figure out how to add the ASIO device to pipe all the audio from my soundboard to the DAW? I have "stereo return" and "tape out" but the easiest solution appears to just use my main stereo out from sound board that goes to my studio speakers to instead one of the input channels on my Audio interface, and then plug my speaker to the audio interface output. I know this would work, however it would involve having the audio interface powered all the time, and I just want to keep the speakers plugged in to the mixer all the time for playing the keyboards, and spinning vinyl. So how to I get the audio out from the mixer to my audio interface to record on a DAW without sacrificing the main mixer out to speaker and still record the mixer audio to a audiointerface/DAW ? Thanks

    Nice video. As an Atari fan, I wish the ST was the first MIDI computer, but that honor technically goes to an 8 bit MSX machine, a Yamaha. The big difference is the ST being 16 bit, High res, and the most important part is that MIDI on the ST runs on a hardware interrupt making its performance rock solid.
