Silas Scarborough Music Studio

This one was a suggestion to me that perhaps the number of computers is getting a bit out of control.

All sorts of whizzy gadgets and labels on them too. Where it says 'lots of picks' it's meaning two rubbery clippy things that go on the mike stand and hold a bunch of guitar picks. It's great that a little $2 or $3 gadget can be so incredibly handy as it's by far the easiest reach for me when I've broken a pick and need another one when I'm playing. One thing you may notice is there's not a single amplifier in the room as all sound is produced electronically.

Devices

Device Name	Device Type	Description
Godin xtSA	Guitar (MIDI)	By far, the finest guitar I have ever played
Roland GR-20	Guitar synthesizer	The stock voice patches are surprisingly good
Boss GT-10	Guitar sound	Very, very easy to get exactly the sound I want
Boss RC-50	Audio looper	Great gadget but it would be better with dual stereo outputs to permit sending the raw signal to a different channel
Marshall MXL-2003	Microphone	Very sensitive and an excellent value but definitely get a pop screen
E-Mu XBoard61	MIDI keyboard	More than adequate for my minimal keyboard skills
Presonus Firestudio Project	Firewire audio interface	Somewhat quirky but it supports eight active input channels and is generally reliable
Behringer Mini-Amp	Headphone amplifier	Permits driving four sets of headphones simultaneously
