Let me introduce you “the Black Witch”, my brand new guitar! I’ve been a Les Paul lover for years (I learnt the guitar seriously on a Les Paul copy) and the ebony custom model has always been my favourite model by far. It’s a very beautiful guitar as you can see but most of all, the sound is stunningRead more
I was a Samplitude user for years but I wanted to improve the way I work on my music. Some years ago, I tried Reaper and honestly, I didn’t really like it, seeing it as a Cubase clone in a way, I didn’t like how it worked. I recorded my first album with Samplitude Pro 9 and Tracktion (whichRead more
Some days ago, I found this used M-Audio Oxygen 8 for my new setup. With its 25 keys, it’s the smallest of the family (Edirol PCR50 and Fatar TKM88) but it’ll be great for small places like my new studio corner. The problem is there is no Windows 7 driver yet as it’s an “old” keyboard but it’s currently underRead more
As you can read here, I added some days ago a laptop to my recording setup. I plan to use this laptop mainly to play my VST synths and record my demo tracks here in Paris. I will probably install my Samplitude Pro which I use for audio recording but my main “vst software” was Tracktion 1. Very simple softwareRead more
And its name is : Toshiba Satellite L505-10P! Some weeks ago, I wrote about a mobile recording setup (and asked for your opinon in the forums here) but I was a bit lost in the laptop world. I spent a lot of times reading about laptop models and I finally decided to take the Toshiba road. I’m reallyRead more
Thinking about recording Spleen Arcana’s second album lead me to the conclusion that I will need a mobile recording setup. I plan to set up a new home studio in Paris but I will have to record vocals in le Refuge as recording vocals is really too loud to be recorded here I guess.
So it’s probably time for me toRead more
Custom 77… I introduced you this quite new French brand guitar some weeks ago here.
As I got back a small amp (Vox Pathfinder), I recorded a small video to show how this SG Jr copy sounds. Keep in mind that the sound comes from my digital camera and that I played on a very small amp at low volume.Read more
The second electric guitar I bought twelve years ago is a Les Paul copy from a low cost brand called “Maison”, you can see it on the picture below
I played it quite a lot for the first tracks of The Field Where She Died, then I bought my Fender Classic Player 50 to add a different sound to myRead more

The price/quality ratio is really great and it’s a good way to have different guitars with different sounds for a low price. Plug them into a good amp andRead more
