Hello Good People !! It's been a very long time. I should have made time to send more newsletters and I apologize for that. I have been quite busy. The studio is pretty unrecognizable. I've literally run out of space for new gear. I got so many synthesizers that I had to do 5 double rows to fit them. Now I'm broke, so at least the timing was good, zero space and being broke fit together. I would like to make a penny off of all this some day. I was hoping someone might have sent me a penny as a good will gesture but I guess people are saying I've got to do better to get that shiny gem. Next time I'll give a bit of a list of the hardware additions, but it's a long list. I'm thinking it's possible that aside from some major collector out there with a zillion synths this might be the largest synth and recording studio in at least this part of the NYC area. It's been the same with software. I've got so many multi-terabyte drives going that it can be hard to always fully be certain of which drive is which (yeah, some day I'll relabel everything. I've got a dozen DAWs now and each with their strengths and weaknesses so I switch around between them a lot. There must be an additional 3,000 instruments, sampled or synth or a combination, as well as effects. I think I'll have to take some photographs of the hardware and some screen shots to give an idea of the flexibility going on here. So, I'd like to do some higher fidelity recordings. Unfortunately, I can't put up the highest fidelity versions of these songs since I give them away, but they are still all uploaded at least at CD quality, We've had 13 simultaneous (#1 in 13 different songs at number one songs nationally in the US each in a different genre on and off for a while now. I'd like to introduce some new songs into remaining genres, in good part to force me to keep learning but also in part so that you folks get a variety of music. I'm going to leave it there for now. There's a lot more I'd like to write about, and hopefully this time there won't be such a long gap between updates. Thanks so much for your comments and for showing that you're listening (we recently hit 10,000,000 listens and are close to 11 now). Please let me know if there's some other sort of music that you'd really like to see here. Best wishes for the holidays and the future of everything. Peter (the Piper)
