Ha, ha!
I didn't even think of the 'distraction' factor. I've just been lazy about setting up a new recording space (especially since I don't actually like to be the recordist) since we moved here. I definitely need to do it now that I have a dedicated space. Thankfully all my muso friends have small studios ... and they owe me favors -------------------- - Ken Lasaine

Thankfully all my muso friends have small studios ... and they owe me favors yeah, having the possibility of recording is very useful for practice and also for composing. But, as Cosmin said, try to avoid things that can give you distractions if you want to make your training time effective. -------------------- My lessons

Heh, I think Ken knows a lot about distraction factors enough to be able to stay away from them, But, as a suggestion to everyone. It's amazing to be able to focus on ONE thing at a time. I try to keep my activities done in dedicated places, so that I may be as productive as possible: Non music or music business related work - in the office Music - studio Pumping iron - in the gym Sword practice - in the garden or dojo I know it may sound a bit 'you don't say, cap'n Obvious' but it seems important to me not to mix things up, especially if you have the possibility to dedicate spaces to each one. Avoiding sources of distraction is always a good practice in itself Even if I have a wireless connection set up in the whole house, I only use the internet when I am in the office. Wise words mate. "focusing on one thing at a time" is the way to go if you want to be effective and achieve your diary, weekly, monthly an long term goals. I always recommend to read this book about this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Seven_Hab...ffective_People -------------------- My lessons

I think that this last image is totally amazing and you should definitely shoot a guitar video with this setting and lights. You could focuson you being a silhouette just like all the objects in the room! Can't agree more. I looks fantastic. Trent Reznor would love it. -------------------- My lessons

I will make a video with this setting lights I hope not to be blurry, I never tried to make this. But, I wonder what should I play to fix with this kind of atmosphere? I have the perfect idea of what you can record: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=50484 |

I have the perfect idea of what you can record: https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...showtopic=50484 Ha,ha,ha ....you are the most funny guy that I ever meet This song it's perfect but trust me, I tried and I tried and I can't make it to sound in a decent way. I'm really sorry for that but it must sound ok to make the video and that triple bends to create the saxophone expression not working yet I thought at this kind of style for video |

Well Gab, if Trent will see the video maybe will rent my room when he will come next time in Romania Why not?? Are you close to Transylvania? Trent surely would love to live close to the castle. -------------------- My lessons

Gabe - many people think of Dracula's castle as being THAT castle - he rarely stayed there, trust me But there is another which is actually considered as being in the top three most haunted places in the whole world - I think I mentioned it once in the forum about 2 years ago or so.. It's called Cetatea Poienari and it has been built by the legendary Negru Voda - a quasi mythical ruler of the southern part of our country that lived somewhere around the 12th or 13th century. The castle was built on top of a huge cliff that rises 1500 steps in the Carpathian mountains in the Arges region. It can be visited today, if you are fit to climb 1500 stairs The story goes like this - Dracula (Vlad Tepes that is ) took the castle when it was already a ruin about 150 years after Negru Voda's rule and transformed it into a mighty fortress that was built with the cost of a lot of lives - people that worked until they fell off the cliff and their ghosts are said to be there still... Scary innit? Very scary! I searched that name and this is what appeared: but I'm a bit confused about this... Negru Voda built both castles or Cetatea Poienari and Dracula's castle are the same one? -------------------- My lessons
