If you want to catch the Tuesday Pok?n, you’ll have to play the game on a Tuesday.Not what you’d call instant gratification, and there’s no avoiding the sense of d? vu. But you can’t deny that the game patently holds a sinister attraction for a disturbingly large number of people.(Nintendo, £25)s.chatterton independent.co.uk. Rock’n'roll studios are usually grimmer than the grimmest. I had a rented studio space in the back of another studio in the West End of Glasgow ­ the lighting was bad and there were no windows in the room. Then we decided to turn a fantastic room in the house that was only used once a year at Christmas into a home studio. I felt immediately better working in a room with two lovely windows and a real fire, and it was large enough to fit all the studio equipment.

Rock’n'roll studios are usually grimmer than the grimmest. I had a rented studio space in the back of another studio in the West End of Glasgow ­ the lighting was bad and there were no windows in the room. Then we decided to turn a fantastic room in the house that was only used once a year at Christmas into a home studio. I felt immediately better working in a room with two lovely windows and a real fire, and it was large enough to fit all the studio equipment.
The first thing I did was to trade in a van load containing an old desk tape recorder and a lot of hardware and returned with two boxes with a Mac G4 computer and a Digi 001 Pro-Tools package. I felt that I had got a lot more than I had actually traded, and then to have more room space as a result was fantastic.The greatest thing is I don’t need any other hardware. My only worry was that I could run games on the computer and would waste a lot of time.

But I’ve had some wonderful afternoons when my children have been playing on the computer and I’ve been playing on the piano.I think that things have changed for home studios because it’s possible to get cheap equipment. I use the Pro Tools package as my main system for recording and I’ve probably got the bog standard starting pack. I was told that if I wouldn’t be using it every day then I’d never get my money back if I got a high-grade version So rather than pay £10,000 I bought mine for £500. It’s like having a really cheap recorder on the computer, and I record live instruments and voice as well as record drum machines and sampling. It’s all done on two screens that make up the interface of Pro Tools: one that looks like a mixing desk and the other that is a bit like a tape recorder, so you can see what tracks you’re working on.It was not long after buying the system that I got offered a project for a television drama and it was perfect to record this in the home studio.
