<p>Hi, I am a 40 something music producer/artist that has been at it far too long! And should really know when to quit!!<img title="Foot in mouth" src="http://www.mixposure.com/include/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-foot-in-mouth.gif" border="0" alt="Foot in mouth" /><br />All my music is created at my home studio using various DAW`s and hardware. I play all the instruments you hear apart from some of the vocals. I cannot sing for toffee!!, But will wail a bit at a push!!</p><p>My artist name is ML Jones (Emmelle) and with a rider producer name of stingraybilly.</p><p>I started playing instruments in 1976 when my uncle gave me an acoustic guitar rescued from the trash. I went on to playing keys and Synths, then onto drums and finally onto the bass where I made my mark playing in various recording/touring bands.</p><p>I now record at home using the following kit for my track creations.</p><p>Kristal Audio DAW, Audacity sequencer, Reaper DAW, Base and laptop computers,</p><p><span class="mediumtxt">1990 Fender telecaster, 1989 Musicman stingray 4 bass, ION electronic drums, CB acoustic 5 piece drums,Yamaha CS01 analogue synth, Casio AP10 piano,Casio CTK Synth, casio MTK Synth, Yamaha FG335 1984 acoustic guitar, Behringer uca202 usb interface,Behringer eurorack 16 track mixer, SM58 beta vocal mic, Roland microcube, Tracelliott SMX 715 350watt combo, various VSts and many samples! all mixed on Sennheiser headphones and Tannoy/KEF/Eltax speakers. </span></p><p>I have participated in the release of singles as a bass player (Vinyl, remember that?<img title="Smile" src="http://www.mixposure.com/include/tiny_mce/plugins/emotions/img/smiley-smile.gif" border="0" alt="Smile" /&gt they did chart in the UK. Obviously not that successfully tho.!!! Or i&nbsp;could have given up the day job!!</p><p>It has always been my dream to be able to record and produce my own material having been so disappointed with all my previously supposedly pro recorded material in large studios. (Why did they have to use so much compression?? and why did the bloody drums take so long to set up???? &nbsp;LOL)</p><p>My music is very varied and I tend to fluctuate within genres, whatever takes my fancy, and that is what music is all about for me.</p><p>Please have a listen and feel free to have a say, I love to have feedback so that I can get someone elses perspective on what I am creating.<br /><br />If any one wants to collaborate on any tracks just shout up.<br /><br />Cheers to you all.....ML Jones..........Billy</p>
