Silas Scarborough Music Studio
This is the original Scarborough Studio in Rhode Island where Silas got started and performed hundreds of gigs in Second Life and, later on, USTREAM.
All sorts of whizzy gadgets and labels on them too. Where it says 'lots of picks' it's meaning two rubbery clippy things that go on the mike stand and hold a bunch of guitar picks. It's great that a little $2 or $3 gadget can be so incredibly handy as it's by far the easiest reach for me when I've broken a pick and need another one when I'm playing. One thing you may notice is there's not a single amplifier in the room as all sound is produced electronically.
| Device Name | Device Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Godin xtSA | Guitar (MIDI) | By far, the finest guitar I have ever played |
| Roland GR-20 | Guitar synthesizer | The stock voice patches are surprisingly good |
| Boss GT-10 | Guitar sound | Very, very easy to get exactly the sound I want |
| Boss RC-50 | Audio looper | Great gadget but it would be better with dual stereo outputs to permit sending the raw signal to a different channel |
| Marshall MXL-2003 | Microphone | Very sensitive and an excellent value but definitely get a pop screen |
| E-Mu XBoard61 | MIDI keyboard | More than adequate for my minimal keyboard skills |
| Presonus Firestudio Project | Firewire audio interface | Somewhat quirky but it supports eight active input channels and is generally reliable |
| Behringer Mini-Amp | Headphone amplifier | Permits driving four sets of headphones simultaneously |
