My Home Studio

I’ve set up a small studio inside my bedroom at home with my laptop and keyboard as my equipment. I bought some recording and mixing software to record and produce my own work. All of my sample compositions are done right inside my home studio. I can record, mix, master, and produce quality music and burn it to CD for all to listen. The recording software I’m using is: SONY ACID MUSIC STUDIO 7.0. Very easy to use and already installed on my DELL laptop computer. My keyboard is a Yamaha YPG-535 with a USB drive built in the back of the board.

In using my laptop and keyboard, I also use a Lexicon Lambda audio interface to connect with my keyboard and computer. That way I can hear and listen to the music I’m working on. Plus, it allows me to write music for video. Therefore, if I have a TV or movie project to work on, I can use my home studio and equipment to compose and record right in my room. My software can import and export video and music files. So,if you need some music done, or just want me to write some tracks for you, I can do that right in my room. Just let me know.

Here is the walk in of my home studio in my bedroom. I took two pictures from my phone so you can check it out and see what I’m working with.

Family Outing at Six Flags

One of my favorite activities is to visit amusement parks. This summer, my younger sister came down from college to visit. We planned a trip to Six Flags over Texas. We rode pretty much everything out there except the bungi-jump. We had a fun and relaxing time. However, when we was younger, I tried to get her to ride the fast and thrilling rides with me, and now, it seems like she’d caught up with me. She’s not as afraid now when she was younger. I guess you just grow out of it and face your fears head on.

Anyway, we took some footage of some rides and attractions over the red tower. Take a look.

 

 

 

 

Of course, we had to encourage our mother to ride something before we left. So, we chose the “antique cars”. You’ll see the back of my head in this video because I’m driving. Check it out.
