Other, mostly non-music software I use: CrashPlan, DropBox, Evernote w/ Alternote, MailPlane ( Gmail client), trolCommander (fork of the muCommander file manager/FTP client), Spectacle (window manager), VLC, Zooom/2 (window manager), iTerm2, Little Snitch, Piezo (for recording audio from apps and webpages), Sequel Pro ( MySQL client), Spark (hotkeys), Sublime Text (programming), Tweetbot, VMware Fusion (for Windows), xACT (for MP3 conversion) and probably more I'm forgetting. I like a lot of simple, fat virtual instruments and effects like NI's Monark and Lennar Digital's Sylenth1. I own Native Instruments' Komplete and some UAD plugins like the LA-2A compressor, EMT 140 plate reverb and the Neve 1073 Preamp & EQ. And what software?įor music, I use Ableton Live for jamming and sketching ideas and REAPER to edit and mix.


The iPod's left channel (with the backing tracks) goes to the PA, the right channel (with the click track) goes into a Shure P2R-H2 receiver for the drummer. I play live with the same guitars I record with and I use a stereo-split second generation iPod Nano for backing tracks if it's a backing track kind of show. I also just bought a QNAP TS-251 NAS because I've gotta get serious about my backup situation after a recent external hard drive failure.įor live shows: A Line 6 M9 Stompbox Modeler into a Fender Blues Junior and a Novation MiniNova for synth sounds.
#MAILPLANE EVERNOTE WINDOWS 7#
Mobile recordings (mostly drums) are done with a busty old Dell Inspiron laptop running Windows 7 with a MOTU Ultralite-mk3 audio interface. My main guitars these days are a Gibson SGJ electric, a Norman B20 acoustic and Fender Precision Bass (all left-handed). For MIDI input I have an Akai MPK Mini mk1 on my desk, though I'm using my Ableton Push 2 more and more. Most of the time I record vocals and acoustic guitars using a Rode NT1000 microphone.

My audio interface is a UAD Apollo Twin Duo, hooked up to Focal CMS 65 monitors and Sennheiser HD 280 Pro headphones. What hardware do you use?įor recording: A 27" 500GB SSD iMac with a 17" monitor on the side and a Mac Matias Quiet Pro mechanical keyboard with a Logitech M510 mouse. I used to do a lot of web programming for money, but not anymore. I'm also doing some music and voice for the animated series Bee & Pupp圜at. I have three records out: I Don't Know What I'm Doing (2003), Out of It (2008) and Guess Who's a Mess (2012).
#MAILPLANE EVERNOTE FOR FREE#
I was one of the first musicians to give my music away for free on the Internet. I got a 7” Samsung tablet for Christmas so that’s the direction I’m leaning toward.My name's Brad and I write and record rock music as Brad Sucks. Unfortunately I recently learned that the Palm calendar only goes out to 2031 so it’s time to start thinking about the migration to something more current. I have used them for years and love the stability and ability to sync with my personal and professional computers as well as the desktop companions I have found. Yes, I am one of the last remaining Palm PDA users left.
