Home Recording/Expert Profile
Expertise
I specialize in Macintosh recording systems on OS X & am well versed in most of the available software titles relative to the platform. I can answer most questions about home recording in general such as: Mic placement, recording/mixing/mastering techniques, control room set up, acoustics & acoustical treatment & choosing the right equipment for specific recording applications. I do not answer PC related questions, or questions pertaining CD/DVD copying or ripping.

Experience in the area
I have been working in studios for over 20 years both as a recurring artist playing on my own recordings & as a session musician, engineer & producer. I run a Mac based studio from my home, use mostly Logic or Garageband. I'll use Garageband for writing & Pre-Prod & move the project over to Logic afterwards. I also have experience using Pro Tools, Digital Performer, Ableton Live & many others. My preferences are Logic & Pro Tools & as such my area of expertise is focussed in these two apps. I'm also an IT guy, sysadmin & electronics technician so can help with technical questions relating to studio operation & maintenance.

Hey Jim, Audio Hijack Pro would probably be a great choice for that. You can get it here: http://www.rogueamoeba.com/audiohijackpro/ You can record for up to 10 minutes before it lays any noise down

Hey Daniel, I think if you have Logic installed you can use Mainstage to do that. Apogee makes a pedal board designed for Logic that plugs right into your Mac via USB, not sure if you can use it with amp
2011-07-29 cables!:
Hi Kristen, if the cable is USB to host, then you plug it directly to the computer via USB & not to your MBox. If you have a line out, you could plug that to your MBox, but USB is strictly for going straight
