Welcome to Blue Cat Studio!
A quick look at my Home Studio...
Computer Stuff
Home Studio Stuff
Drums Stuff
My drums equipment is adapted to social constraints. It was impossible for me to play acoustical Drums for the neighbours ears, so I had to try Roland VDrums kit. Well, I must say it is perfect for recording and training. No need to use expensive mikes in a quiet environment... Just plug into the computer and appreciate great sounding with the headphones! My gear is a VDrums TD-8 Kit, with 2 additionnal CY-12 cymbals
Guitar Stuff
OK, let's talk seriously now... I have a bit more stuff to play the guitar, it's been a while since I started getting interested in recording this instrument. Let's start with guitars...
- My Number One Guitar is a 1992 original Vigier Excalibur, a really great French Guitar.
- My Number Two is a good old Fender Stratocaster... Classic, isn't it?
- For travelling I bought a Fernandes Guitar in Japan, which is great for practicing far away from home!
- I still have my good old classical guitar (I should practice a bit more... I am too lazy!)

Let's continue with preamps/effects processors :
- I Have been using the great Roland VG-88 Virtual Guitar for a while and it's really a good unit. Virtual guitars, Amps, all effects I need are inside! Check out my patches on the Download page !
- When I travel I use my Pandora PX2. It is simple but efficient, and so small!
- I Still own a Boss GX700 Guitar Effects processor which I don't use much anymore (some patches are available on the Download page)
To finish with, I use a Peavey 50/50 Valve Power Amplifier and a Marshall Cabinet for Live performance. I directly plug the VG-88 into it and it's really fine.
Bass Guitar Stuff
Nothing very original here, I use a Fender Jazzbass plugged into a Roland VBass effects processor (equivalent of VG-88 for Bass Guitar).
Keyboards Stuff
I own a Fatar MIDI keyboard. It's enough for what I am able to do with a keyboard right now :-). It is plugged into my SoundBlaster Live, which I use as an expander. The sound is not that great but it's OK for home recording. For Hammond Organ sounds I have a great Viscount DB3 expander.
