Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2012 9:58 amHey, my name is Frank..Im a musician guitar,bass,drums,vocals.
songwriter, producer, composer recording engineer. Board of Members at ASCAP . National publisher : Lestat Publishing
I run America United Records, and Lestat Publishing (ASCAP/BMI)
professional mostly underground hard rock musician of a band named Ace of Sin. had 12 songs on commercial rock radio, was rated #1 at Capitol Radio by Chris Condayan in 2000. Radio awards for best song or best blah blah etc: Home state Michigan , played at venues such as Harpos in Detroit , etc.
Style of music played professional: hard rock. but I play all styles when nobody is watching, and Im trying to perfect one day, playing guitar upside down hand-style for whatever reason I don't know yet, but the doozers in my mind think its important and are keeping the reason secret. (that's sarcasm) just in case. I know live sound, recording/engineering, lots of recording tricks, music theory, composition ...boring boring etc.
I've had 12 songs on commercial rock radio that i wrote, and recorded and off to radio airplay. So my recording and songwriting skills are decent, unless the DJ's and PDs were all stoned ..in which case whatever works. I perform vocals live and style is influenced by Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Ronnie J Dio, and tad bit of Pantera. I have some older songs I put up not too long ago to youtube under: Ace of Sin (older 1998 - 1999 ) music
I'm a modulation processor guru form my younger days of experimenting with every algorithm possible and ordering stuff form Musicians Friend just to return it and order something else, until all of the modules were tried. I was the guy at 15 yrs old that spent hours in a music store not buying anything but playing everything and needing strange requests like :headhones a microphone and a guitar with a digitech 2112 ..so i can test this reverb or delay ping processor to see if its any good. I can almost recite every modulation algorithm setting all the way back to Alesis Midi-verb - 99 was long delay , 00 was direct through, 20's were reverb ,50's were chorus, 60's were flanges , 70's were a nice slapback single delay. Digitech 2112 was one of the first to use Dual S-chip processors ..etc That kinda stuff. but it goes way deeper than that and would bore the hell out of ya. Before the POD's airswitch ,I was recording things like bass direct, and playing it out of stereo speakers (back in late 1980's ) with microphones positioned around the room , overlaying modulation track and dry signal. Them were 4-track cassette days (using Chrome-CR2) for "highest clarity and tape generation loss limitation for bouncing. I still remember the digital recorders were $3,999.95 in any Musicians Friend for basic rack mount 8-track with no onboard processing. First digital recorder I used was a Fostex DMV and got my first commercial radio award in 1997-1998 from a song recorded and mixed on Fostex DMV, a Digitech 2112 (even vocals processed through it and Alesis (guitar tubes turned off obviously)
This was that song = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=38DVZzva2QU
I was elected to ASCA PBoard of Members in 1999 shortly after getting publishing license. Played long enough and headlined enough to figure out my own strategies on promotion, marketing, recording, etc They never put the good stuff in any text books. That's pretty much what Ive been doing since 8 yrs old. even though didnt get serious about it until 13 years. many years ago in a galaxy far far away.
