Recording 12-String Acoustic Guitar


Today I will be recording 12-string acoustic guitar for one of the songs for our upcoming album. Rob Queen (drums) and I will be recording this Friday for a couple of songs, with Rob playing drums and I will be on electric guitar (rhythm). Today I pick up my Ibanez Gio guitar from Neil Douglas Guitar Shop in New Westminster. Mark changed my strings for me. I bought a second pair of strings in case I break another string.

Our monitor foam has been ordered from the Foam Shop in Burnaby and should arrive soon. They will raise our monitors so they are at ear level for me when I record and listen to the mix. Miles Hill will be mixing and mastering our upcoming album. Yesterday I began writing a new ROCK song! It will be on a future ROCK album by Myztery. 

Have a great day!

Radical Shifts Available as an ebook!

 


Today we added my memoir, Radical Shifts, to our online Myztery store as an ebook for $7. We will soon add Cyndie's memoir, Heaven ROCKS! as well. We are in the process of having Myztery Coasters made by our friend Leo. They are made of slate and will feature our Myztery logo on them. We will add them to our store when they are ready.

Tomorrow I am purchasing some foam as stands for our new studio monitors for our Mystical Rose Studio setup. We are getting them from the Foam Shop in Burnaby. They will custom design them according to the dimensions of our monitors. 

Miles Hill has completed the bass for one of our singles, which will be on a future album. I will record with Rob Queen (drums) on February 28th, for a couple of songs. I will record rhythm electric guitar. 

Thanks for checking in!

Setting Up Our Recording Studio



Yesterday we purchased some Yorkville compact studio monitors from Long & McQuade in Vancouver. Our thanks to Chris Jaggers, who helped us select them! Today I will be setting up our recording studio in our home. We need to find a new place to play with our drummer, Rob Queen, as the room he had beside a church in Maple Ridge is no longer available for him soon.

We live in a small condo in Burnaby, so our large studio monitors took up too much space in our studio. Our new ones are about half the size of our previous ones. I sold our old pair to a guy coming out of Long & McQuade in Vancouver, so he was happy and I was happy! Our thanks to Chris Jaggers of Long & McQuade for his help in selecting the monitors.

I recently had to get a new phone because my old phone battery died and there was a problem with the charging port. The new phone has a far superior microphone, so our TikTok Live concerts sound really good now!

Have a great day! 🎸⭐🟉🔷🌍☮💌
