New Small/Light Live Setup

I wanted to have a small system to take to small performances 20-50 folks like a cocktail lounge, cafe, winery, and coffee shop. The complete package can be carried by one person. It’s the DeVoe, AKG C1000S, and Fishman LoudBox Mini. That’s it

Apple’s new iOS 4.2.1 for iPad & iPhone

It took about 3 hours to update the iPad and iPhone and while updating the iPad after the download it jammed up and needed a restart and reconnection to iTunes. Bellow is a screen shot of the new folders. Was not able to get Air Print to work as well.

Awaiting my new Blanca Devoe

Awaiting the new DeVoe Blance should only be a few weeks away. Below are some pics of what the wood and guitar will look like. Mine will have the traditional pegs and not the machine tuners.

Neyrinck V Control iPad App

I have been excited about this iPad app from Neyrinck for some time ever since I heard about that is was coming, AES had sent out a email that Neyrinck would be realizing this great app at this years AES in San Fran,  I was not able to be there this year so I have been waiting for the app to come out.  Yesterday the app appeared in the Apple App Store, so I purchased the app and installed it on my iPad,  however the great folks at Neyrinck had not had there info on the app live yet so I was not able to get the app to work with Pro Tools right away, but in less than a few hours Neyrinck web page with all the info you need to get V Control working was up and running they apologized and contacted me right away.  I was even told that I was their first customer to purchase the app. The V Control iPad app works amazingly well and I like it much better than the other iPad controller apps that I have used.  There service and profesilizim shins thorough and they are a top notch company.  I can recommend this app to any one who is looking to use there iPad as an control surface for there Pro Tools studio.  I tested the app with Pro Tools 9 and there are no glitches that i came up with.  Much better than the other two iPad apps that are out there right now and you can pick up the V Control for 19.99 and the V Control Pro for 49.99,  I am told that there will soon be a way to upgrade from the V-Control app to the V-Control Pro app within the V-Control app.   Below is a screen shot of the app on my iPad.

Alzapua Emergency Care New-Skin Liquid Bandage

My thumb became a little raw after practicing alzapua for a few hours, then the callus ripped open so I’m trying New-Skin Liquid Bandage to cover the rip.

I had the privilege to play tonight at the Grovers Mill Coffee Shop open mic night. There were a bunch of good players.

Barcelona Nights, and Bombay.
