Home Studio Registry: Michael Miceli

Future plans/projects

Would like to record songs that I have written and send these demos to labels for sale or signing purposes. Also record demos for others as a business recording studio. The road that does well is the one I'll take.

Guitars

Fender Strat (American), Rickenbacker 330, Epiphone Sheraton II Ibenez acoustic, Fender Jazz bass, Rickenbacker 4003 bass and a 66' Hofner bass.

Keyboards

Alesis QS8.1 88key (weighted)

Percussion

Yamaha RY20 Drum programmer, 10' and 11' Wooden Conga set, tambourine and shakers.

Effects

Korg D1600 has large amount of effects for guitars to vocals. (reverb, compressor, gate, etc.........) Also have Boss GT-3 for extra guitar effects to add for difference. The TC Electronics Helicon voice prism is used for harmonies if needed to cut out overdubbing track usage on back-ups. It also has a wide range of vocal effects. I have an ART Dual 15-band EQ, and a DOD headphone amp distributor.

Microphones

AKG C3000B condensor , Shure SM58 (2), Shure SM57, and a Shure SM 48.

Mixing

Korg D1600 16 track digital recorder

Tape decks

Record into digital hard drive and burn onto CD burner Tascam CDRW700. Duplicate with Tascam CDD4000mkII CD Duplicator. Have Tascam CDA500 CD/Cassette Deck for needed purposes.

Hard disk recorders

The D1600 has a 20 GB removable hard drive.

Monitoring

Two Alesis Monitor One studio monitors and Alesis RA-100 power amp. 4 AKG240 headphones.

Computer

Intel Pentium 4, 768 Ram

Music software

Adobe Audition 3.0 Wave recording and editing, iZotope Ozone 2.0 mastering direct X. Line 6 Guitar Port Effects and Loopology loops.

Additional equipment

Alesis Q-cards for the QS8.1. (classic Keyboards, Sanctuary, Classic Brass, and Blues Keys. Also have a Fender Twin Reverb amp to use for real gutiar-amp sounds instead of simulated.

Additional notes

I love 60's, 70's and 80's music. General classic rock is my favorite. The Beatles and The Eagles are my idols in music writing and recording. The name of my studio is Keychange Recordings (copywrited).

Would love to hear or give suggestions in this musical world we revolve in.
