Still Inertia's digital studio (CRC Studios) is centered around instruments, devices, and the interfaces that connect them together. No work in the past has been processed through a computer until 2006. Before this year, everything has been manipulated and changed manually (one of the blessings of generation-defect-free re-recording via digital optical wires). All of that is now evolving and changing, however, as demonstrated in the latest song "Eileen" which will be on the upcoming 2007/2008 album: "Invested". The digital studio saw its dawn in December 1999 when my friend Gooding donated a MiniDisc deck and 4-track multi-track tape recorder - an analog studio device that the song "Anti-Depressant" was created initially in conjunction with an Amiga 500 computer and MED editing software for sequencing the rhythms. That project was then shifted over onto the Roland Digital Studio Workstation which was purchased via a loan (paid in full and much appreciated) by J. Davis two months later in February 2000. The studio had suddenly entered an entirely digital domain at just the same time when the Amiga 500 had started its Y2K glitching. With a clearer reliance on Zip 250 disks for the Roland, it was decided that technological independency was desired and, until I explore more dedicated computer equipment catering to hig-end quality audio work and creating capabilities, the studio, for now, will remain unplugged from the computer world. Since then, Still Inertia's music has continued to evolve into the music you can hear online for yourself. Much thanks to all those who have helped me with my studio needs, abilities, and creations - past, present, and future. (And thank you Gooding for the beat up, duct-taped Yamaha headphones! They remain the best headphones to replicate sound through! I've just added some superglue... 3 times.) In 2006, after the studio's seemingly ethereal relocation to Philadelphia, I now am experimenting with song engineering and backbone sequencing and manipulation of samples from actual instruments, both from myself and from other former and new talents across the country, with the assistance of Sony's ACID Pro5.0 and SoundForge 8.0 on a PC computer. I have ProTools somewhat at my disposal but have not currently worked within it, but plan on using it for the finalization of the entire album, "Invested" due out sometime in 2007/2008. Special thanks for technical assistance and guidance goes out to Jason Popejoy, Stephen Keever, Alex Vega, Zack Berman, John Rowland, and Keith Royer.
