Getting some practice in for when i go on tour.    Im Mick Gaitens.  Sing a little, play a little gtr, and dabble in keyboards...badly.  Live in Kilsyth area, north of Glasgow.  I write  all my own stuff these days, and enjoy the buzz from producing a brand new track.

I use NO midi stuff in any of my work, coz i dunno how to use it!....so all tracks are played live, in my living room, on the sofa, trying hard not to upset the neighbours!

GEAR:     Cakewalk Sonar 4 for recording and producing.  Tried sonar 6, didnt like it, so ill stick with the older one for now. lol.

I Use Beta `monkey ` drums software for the beats.....very user friendly.  Wav files of live drums, much better than a drum machine! http://www.betamonkeymusic.com/V6.html

Instruments are ; takamine TAN46C for the main part, Old Anniversary strat ive had for 25yrs now, The simplest of footpedal(single),  Yam 8000 keyboard for the ..err....keyboards sounds,  sometimes a bass gtr, and not forgetting the coffee, asprin, and gel cushion for my ass..    Thats it.

Usually, songs come out of something thats goin on around me.  I cant write about somethin fictional really like.....` oooo my baby luvs me, shoo boo bee doo` and all that crap...so, i hope that my messages mean a little, and u get something out of them.

Thnx for takin time to drop in.

live long and prosper MP3Unsigned ...and ..stuff! lol  

this isnt REALLY me ffs!!!!!!!
