Warren,
Thanks for listening! I responded to your post-production question on the site. As for the Godin Multiac Jazz, I'm loving it. I would definitely plazz jazz on it. The electronics are pretty sophisticated, and it took some time for me to get the tones that I like out of it. When I first got it, I thought, "crap, this thing plays great but the tone sucks." But it's working really well for me now. One of the differences between it and other semis/archtops is that the body of the Godin is VERY solid, and I don't think it resonates as lively as, say, a 335 does. But I suspect that's on purpose so the guitar doesn't "bark" or feedback at higher performance volumes.
It's also proven to be an incredibly solid and stable guitar synth platform. I've strung it with extra-heavy strings, and it's got sustain for days. People who have heard some of my tracks swear there is piano on them! I'm guessing it's due to the extra heavy strings combined with how I sometimes use a wah pedal to achieve certain tonal effects.
And the craftsmanship is top-notch. I'm completely anal about necks; I've had three of my guitars pleck'd. The Godin needs no such thing. I would not hesitate to reccomend this instrument to anyone.

So I've been hanging around the list for a while now, and decided it was time to share. I created a ubetoo account and uploaded some of my most recent work. I don't think any of it is more than a couple of weeks old.
This is somewhat relevant to the Inspiration/Work thread, in that all these pieces are the result of a decision I made a few months ago to play every day and record it. I have been shocked at the diversity of my output as a result of this daily discipline. So many times I felt uninspired when I began, but somewhere along the line, BANG! It hit.
The pieces are not particualrly polished because part of the contract is that I don't spend any more than an hour and a half composing/recording anything, and that includes warm-up time. I spend a little time after the fact mixing down in Live or Sonar,
but I've generated so much material as a result of this disciplne that I literally don' have time to mix everything down. So I mix down as rapidly as possible, doing little more than set panning and levels.Very little post effects are used...a rare compressor or eq is the extent of it.
In the next couple of months I will be putting effort in to creating a polished album (or three...I've generated that much material in the last couple of months!), and hopefully start playing some shows.
