Fox River Forge Studio

This is was a recording session via Skype looks like!

Well, finally got started on some long overdue maintenance around the studio in order to get ready to begin recording with 50 Breaks. I started with a change in software. Previously, I had been using Cubase LE4 which came with the hardware I use. After attending some lectures at
UW YouTube I decided to begin making the change to Reaper. It has gotten great reviews, appears to go a little easier on my CPU and seems like a real solid choice.

Next, I started work on getting my drum kit back into some reasonable state of repair. I ended up replacing some hardware components and a cymbal. I began replacing the heads on my toms which were pretty worn. I also discovered one of the brackets that hold one of the heads on was broken so I will have to fab something up since a visit to the music store and a good deal of Internetting couldn't locate a replacement. Maybe the guy over at Fox River Forge can help with that;) Overall, a good day!
