Joseph Kearns

In playing out it was all bars fro me so I got to around 150 people.

I use keyboard/Midi, Guitar and bass. A lot of time I will enter in my bass line in midi to sycn piano and other parts. This helps form the chord structures/progressions. Once I got that I will record live bass.

I originally used Cakewalk. At the time it was one of the few available. This was mostly MIDI and my bass. at this time midi instruments. Within the last few years computers really grew in power where it was fairly inexpensive to record at home. At that time I went with Studio One-2 and their 4 input recording device. It worked well. If you are doing straight recording of live instruments it give you a big bang for the buck. A couple of years ago i stated to collaborate with some friends who use logic pro X. IA that time I bought an IMAC and logic pro. If you can afford the IMAC then logic pro is fantastic. I use a mixture of me playing and virtual instruments. it seem to be user friendly. For whatever reason it sparked my creativity.

Mine is learning the business side. It is very easy to record, mix and master these days in you bedroom. Getting your music noticed is very hard especially as a single song writer.

Hello All, My Name is Joe Kearns but to search my music use Joseph M Kearns. If you leave the M out you will get the actor that played the MR Wilson character on the original Dennis the Menace tv show. I will be posting links to my songs/EP in the proper forum section(s) Thanks
