The Cat Box:

This week we're featuring a rough mix sent in to us by Timothy Lee. He's a drummer and producer with his own project studio. You can see more about him at TimothyCLee.com.

This tune is called My Time. It was recorded with Digital Performer in Tim's temporary studio in his house while his new studio space is under construction. It written by a bass player/singer pal of his who decided to finally record some original songs that have been sitting around for awhile.

Here are some pictures of the setup Tim used while recording this song.






Gear Review:

Thanks to Shane Hendricks for asking me to take a look at the new PianoTEQ VST plugin. It's presented as the first truly modeled piano.

About $310.00 US. Download a free 45-day trial version for PC and Mac (Power PC only, Intel version coming). The free version has a few notes at the top and bottom ranges of the keyboard disabled.

Answer To Last Week's Trivia Question:

Q: What is the most played song on jukeboxes across the United States?

A: According to the Amusement & Music Operators Association, Patsy Cline's 1962 hit, "Crazy" is the most played song on jukeboxes across the United States. It's followed by "Old Time Rock and Roll" by Bob Seger and "Hound Dog" / "Don't Be Cruel" by Elvis Presley.

Congratulations to Dave Swift, who was the first person to correctly answer and takes home a free copy of Guitar and Drum Trainer from Ryan Smith over at RenegadeMinds.com. Honorable mention goes out to Heath McConnell of Violet Sun Studios who also answered correctly, but wasn't quite fast enough to beat Dave, and Bill Camarata.
