Ray Brookes

[Ray Brookes]

Hi,

My name is Ray Brookes and I am a new member, signing up a day or so ago. I am a singer/songwriter (well ... a songwriter anyhow; calling myself a singer is a bit of a stretch) My main genre for writing is mostly blues/roots music though sometimes I tend to drift over towards folky kinda stuff.

The instruments I use are 6 & 12 string acoustic guitars, a Fender Strat, Ibanez bass and Lee Oscar blues harps. My piano/midi controller is an 88 key Yamaha something or other and the DAW I use is Logic Pro X. My mic is a Rode NT1000 condenser.

I'm a grumpy old man of 65 living in Sydney, Australia and that is me in a nutshell. When I was a young kid working in various recording studios I always dreamed of having my own studio one day. Now I have one here in the back room of my house and half the time I don't know what to do with it LOL.

Hi Ray,

I am Ian and I'm from Melbourne.

Welcome to Songcrafters. They are lots of talented and knowledgeable people on this forum and if you stick around I'm sure that you will have fun and will learn something as well.

There are lots of areas to ask questions, show off your gear and post songs.

Best wishes and welcome again,

Ian

Welcome Ray, you fit our demographic well.....

The problem with our home studios is that they have more gear and capabilities in the computer than most studios I went in in the 70s and 80s could ever dream of!

Welcome! ( from another grumpy, getting older man!)
