Thanks! I remember that I somehow messed up the mic position for those tracks but I didn’t have a chance to re-record. I had a hard time mastering them to sound okay. Recording guitar is so hard!

I started using a SM81 and a Rode NT1 set up about 2-3 feet away. Both of my guitars have good projection, so I don't have to be that close. I would rather hear more distance than my nails which become too present if I am too close.

Haven't had much time for music lately, but very happy to have recently added the following two pieces to my repertoire. Beautiful and fun to play.

I use Cubase almost exclusively and love it, though I know Reaper has come a long way. The Dorico integration will get better.

Whatever you choose as the artist is acceptable. Can't wait to hear it.

Thanks for listening!

Two CD covers. The one with a purple border shows a silhouetted men in an apocalyptic city scape. The one with the cream border shows a night sky over a countryside hil

Spotlight On: Pocket Lint Stories from the humans that make it all possible

Just finished Johnny Marr's autobiography. Two cool things I didn't know - when he went to NY to sign The Smiths to Sire Records, the label let him buy a Gibson 355. He took it back to the hotel and promptly wrote Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now and Girl Afraid. And later he became a marathoner!

retail reverie [SINGLE], by hartshorn serrano 2 track album

You’ve heard of retail therapy, well why not try some “Retail Reverie” instead.

If you fancy a copy of the @john-serrano.bsky.social & yours truly’s 7” inch vinyl single then don’t hang about.

Down to 10 now.

I only know the former. I just revealed how cool I am.

good song but Photograph has aged better

I have a video on YouTube that uses a couple minutes from a movie and it's monetized by the studio via Content ID. A request for a license was ignored. You will likely run into Content ID claims if you incorporate any movie/tv clips in your videos, even if it would survive a fair use analysis.

Acoustic East Coast Help support the creation of a brand new concert celebrating the music of Canada's East Coast as performed by string quartet.

Exciting news for today: I’m launching a kickstarter to help fund the creation of ‘Acoustic East Coast’, a show that will be produced on PEI this August. If you’re able to help us financially, I really appreciate it - if you’re not, perhaps share the link? 🙏 www.kickstarter.com/projects/nwc...

Crazy indeed. We are doing our best to get this sorted. Unfortunately, I am spending time on resistance instead of music.
