Music, computers, and high-tech gear: it's a wonderful thing

What's this blog about? The short answer is pretty much summed up by the headline.

The long answer is a little more complicated, but since you asked, here we go: Musical Machines will nearly always be about music first and foremost: favorite artists and associated news as well as rocking out and recording the mayhem. In addition I'll share what knowledge I have about music, gear, and recording.

I'll also be writing about computer recording hardware, software, and associated gear like monitors, mics, preamps, MIDI, synths, keyboards, etc. Since I'm a writer for Musician's Friend, I'll be posting news of hot, fresh gear and equipment I think is cool or unique in some way. I'm sure I'll dip into guitar and bass stuff occasionally, since I also play bass and guitar.

That about covers it, I think. Feel free to leave comments or email. I might be opening a can of worms here, but I'll also try to serve as a question and answer guy. Emphasis on the try. Remember, I have a full-time job in addition to this blog. I'll do my best to respond and if I get some questions that I think might have relevance for other musicians, I may post them or put them up on the Musician's Friend ring of websites for everybody to see.

Mm'kay? Let's all go out and make some music, boys and girls.
