Gadget world

I guess all kind of musicians is searching for that perfect sound. Trying to write the best song ever, and make it sound like a million pound´s!

What do I need? In my case there some gadget´s needed among them a nice guitar, an amplifier and if possible a couple of freindly musician´s to back up the tune. 

So I´ve got the guitar and the amplifier, but those musicians cant be found in my small studio, at least not when I do need em! so I go for the substitute. Some kind of gadgets in form of a drum-machine.  As I´m not the man to program such a gadet I go for a keyboard with buildt in drumsound´s. 


During the last  years I´ve been using a CASIO CTK keyboard witch have done a great job, but very now and then I dream about other sound´s coming from the keyboard.


So I´m alway´s searching for a complement to my CTK and a couple of day´s ago I found a nice little gadget at a fleamarket. With the price of 15.oo £ there was no use in testing it. 

Arriving home it was connected to power and a big smile took its place in me face, realising that what I´ve bought was a true bargain. The Yamaha E313 showed up to have loads of new and nice sounding drumpatterns. It was also touch sensetive.

The first part was done, next was to connect it to the small mixer I use for me keyboards and organs. And not to forget make them all work together. Took me at least an hour. So until i found someone who can play the drum´s I do have a couple of substitute´s!


On the other hand in search for that perfect sound it seams to be extremly crowded. Soon there will be no more room for all instruments and gadgets. Already and old Farfisa organ have to be stored in the dark.

I do realise that it´s about time to sell some of the instruments and amp´s that I no longer need.

During the last week´s since I´ve got the BURNS BB-100 working I hade some real problems in recording the bass. With 3x 15" speakers the bass seam to be to low for those microphone´s that I had. I´ve tried out at least 10 different mic´s that could perform the way I wanted. But somewhere back in my mind I did remember that once I´ve bought some weird mic´s. 

I searched high and low and couldnt find em. A week later I even dreamed about those mic´s and in my dream I found em, and the dream also showed that they was right for the job. The morning after I found them at the same place where I stored em, just so I could find em. And for sure, those mic´s did the job. Noiw it was possible for me to record the sound from my bass´es!
