For a long while now, I’ve been doing research on Acoustic Amplifiers. I really need an Acoustic Amplifier. I remember I bought my new Fender Acoustic/Electric from Parkway Music last year and I need an Acoustic Amp to go along with it. I could probably use my regular Fender electric amp to plug in my acoustic but the acoustic won’t sound “acousticy” if you know what I mean. If I plug in an acoustic/electric into an electric guitar amp, it’s gonna sound like a clean electric guitar and I don’t want that. I want a true “acousticy” sound and in order to get that sound, I need an acoustic amp and I will get one soon.

I found other acoustic amps that I got interested in as possible choices but I think I found the one that I definitely gonna wanna get. I think I fell in love with this amp here: The Boss ACS Pro:

I need an acoustic amp where I can sing and play guitar at the same time. If I get this amp, I will no longer need my piece of shit Peavey P.A. System which I want to get rid of soon. The best thing about this amp is that it has a built-in “Looper”… that way I can do my own back up harmonies and I can have my own rhythm playing in the background and I can solo lead over it which is what I want to do. This amp is both an acoustic guitar amp and p.a. system at the same time. That’s the kind of amp I need.

This could be good for when I start playing live acoustic shows again which is what this amp is made for pretty much. The amp costs $700 but I’ll save up for it quickly and will get it. This amp can also be very useful for home recording as well. Just set it up, turn it on, put a mic in front of it and away I record.

It definitely looks like a sweet amp. I got my eye on this one for sure.

From this point forward when I make new songs, I’m going to keep politics out of them completely. Meaning no protest songs, no topical songs, etc. None of that stuff. I used to write songs like that in the past but no more. There are too many musicians and songwriters out there that brings politics into music whether left-wing views or right-wing views. I believe music shouldn’t about politics anymore. If I were to ever play live again, I won’t even rant about politics in between songs ’cause I hate it when bands & artists do that shit. I want to keep politics separate from music the best I can.

I will still talk about politics on my blog and social networking but in my music, no. What will I write about in my upcoming new songs whenever I start writing again? I would write autobiographical songs… write song about myself and write songs about what I’m feeling. I would continue to write fictional stories by song too ’cause I’ve always liked doing that.

I’ve always wanted to write songs based on fantasy stories and medieval & Viking type of stuff. Write songs telling stories inspired by Game of Thrones and the show Vikings (on the history channel). I’ll try writing songs like that too. So if I were to make a metal album sometime down the road, I would write metal songs based on medieval and Viking stories ’cause I love that stuff. Fantasy stories inspired by the “Elder Scrolls” video games too which are games that I love to play especially “Skyrim”. I would love to try writing a song where a hero knight fights dragons and an evil sorceress, that kind of thing.

Time to leave politics out of music ’cause I’m tired of that too. Wish other bands & artists would do the same. I want all people to enjoy my music.

I’ve read the first chapter of this book already today and wow, I’m impressed! This book was worth the purchase after all. The book was kind of pricey but I bought it ’cause I wanted to improve myself with my work on DAW software. Yeah, I am a computer musician who prefers to make music digitally and I really need to improve that stuff. Thanks for the first chapter of this book, I now understand sound frequency and know what Hertz or kilohertz is. That first chapter gave me a better understanding of sound and all that stuff.

This book is definitely a must-read for those who make music on your computers through DAW’s and shit. I’m not even done with this book yet and already loving it!

I really need to get better with DAW recording and I will. I’ve always sucked at it over the years. I was never all that good with home recording but after doing heavy research on recording gear, I’m really getting the hang of it. I remember a year or 2 ago, I finally bought myself a basic home studio setup. New audio interface (Focusrite Scarlett 2i4), PreSonus monitors, pop filter for microphone and a way better computer!

I really need to get good with DAW recording so I can make better sounding music which is my goal. I want to produce all my music myself. Track it, mix it, master it, etc. Do it all on my own. I got to figure out how to make the MP3 sound louder after rendering ’cause each time I render a song to MP3, the volume gets lower for some reason. I’ll figure it out by doing some reading so hopefully these books will help me.

I’ll get better with home recording at some point. Just gotta practice, do my homework on this stuff, doing some reading and researching.

If I were to start recording music again, what music would I make? Like I said before, I would try to make all kinds of music. Try to make everything but I mostly want to keep my focus on guitar rock oriented music. I want to try to make tight rock n’ roll which I will. I will still write some acoustic songs and try to write piano ballads too. I want to make rock guitar music. I’ll try to make full band music using MIDI and all that stuff.
