Music Stuff - Cool Stuff

I picked my red Fender American Standard Stratocaster and plugged it straight into my "very" modified Fender Blues Jr.  Interested in More?  The original midnight blue body (i.e. dark blue purple metal flake) is hanging on the wall.  I bought a sweet body on Ebay and moved all of the hardware and the neck to the red body.  I added Lindy Fralin Blues Special Pickups and modified the tone circuit (no tone on the neck, with tone control on the middle and bridge).  The Fender Blues Jr has a bunch of resister and capacitor changes, the power tube sockets were changed to octets with JJ 6V6S tubes (in place of the el84 tubes), a Mercury Output Transformer was added, and it was topped off with a Celestion G12H Anniversary speaker.  Until next time... Enjoy the Music! Jimmy

Seriously, I could not imagine trying to run my Recording and Rehearsal Studios and have to pay someone to work on and fix computer problems, and do amp maintenance and repair work. Thanks to over 20 years in the computer industry I gathered some knowledge that is very useful for running my recording studio.  Think about it.  You need to get a pretty powerful computer.  I went with a PC instead of Mac, and got a quad core with 16GB ram and 2 TB disk space.  I am going to have to invest in a small SAN (storage area network) within the next year so I can offload some of the stuff on the recording PC's hard disk, because 2 terabytes just is not enough. On top of that, I have a MOTU PCI express card that I installed on my computer, plus a huge pile of software (DAW, effects, editing, mixing and mastering software, et al).  Beyond that, you have the audio drivers that must be setup perfectly for integration with the computer, DAW (digital audio workstations) and Analog/Digital MOTU
