Home Studio

From spilth.org Wiki

Over the years I've gone through various types of home studio setups: from a regular casette recorder, to the humble Tascam 4-Track, followed by a quick stint with a Tascam 8-Track, and finally to my current setup.

I've yet to create any complete songs with my latest setup, but you're welcome to check out some works in progress.
