Oh hey! It's the time of the year again! I have a few guitar lesson spots open as of the beginning of the year. I know some people will be looking for some last minute gifts or know of someone getting a guitar for Christmas... This would be a great option! I've been teaching in the area for over twenty years. You can be a beginner, intermediate player, someone who has been playing for awhile that wants to try something new, maybe you want to learn some theory, or even recording basics. We can do it! Get ahold of me soon!

I have the following spots open:
Tuesdays at 4:30 or 5:00
Thursdays at 5:00

Hey, everyone! Long time, no talk. I just freed up some time in my teaching schedule. Shoot me a message if you’re interested in some guitar lessons! Beginners and beyond! Need to learn some guitar-based theory as well? We can do that. Want to learn about recording? We can do that too. Let’s talk and find some time for you!

Hey everyone! I still have some spots available for guitar and bass lessons! Feel free to message me here or on the Zo Audio website and let's get that guitar journey started or kicked into the next gear!

Hey everyone! Summer is wrapping up somehow... And with that I have a few open spots in my guitar lesson schedule. Shoot me a message if you're interested! Beginners and beyond! We can even learn about studio related stuff if you want. Sky is the limit. The world is your oyster. Every rose has its thorn. All we are is dust in the wind, dudes.

This weeks episode of Made Of Dreams is dropping a day early due to the holiday! So TOMMORROW be on the lookout for my episode with Braun Sheets. plays in the alt-rock band Said Echo, owns and operates recording and teaching studio and holds positions at the Decatur Area Arts Council, and the Millikin Community Arts program among other things… so I thought our chat about getting involved in your community was fitting for this Fourth of July. If you’re local his band will be at Decatur’s Centennial Lake Fest next weekend, so make sure you follow them and see them live! Happy 4th ✌️❤️🎶🇺🇸

New monitors. Boy, is this a fun upgrade. Shape Twins. Now I need to clean this desk up…

I'll be giving questionable advice at Midwest Music Expo this year! Get 'dem tickets!

MmX is proud to welcome back Braun Sheets as a speaker this year! Sheets is the founder of Zo Audio, where he teaches musicians and helps them achieve their creative and artistic goals. Zo Audio also becomes The Loft to host shows in the local area. Be sure to hear some of his wisdom if you have the chance!

Getting excited to be recording again. It’s been a minute since I’ve felt that. Welcome back, boys.

Recorded Soy City Stranglers last night and all I got was this awful picture of Beanz and Sammy tracking.

There are more exotic/boutique/expensive/cork sniffin’ amps out there and in this room, but somehow these two amps keep sneaking onto recordings. A lot of the time, it’s in places you’d least expect it.

“Cleaning the studio” just means making a bigger mess apparently…

Another studio tool that has been absolutely indispensable. This was all over the album, the single, a ton of demos I will maybe finish one day. If it’s just doubling bass lines, atmospheric background, or creating melodies, this thing brings a lot of texture. Thanks for the creation of Grandmother.

Why not highlight some of my favorite little studio things? This is a fun one. It’s a small condenser mic built into a shotgun shell by . It’s about the best thing any form of ammunition has ever done. These are killer tom mics. I’ve tried other things I own and just keep coming back to these. Fantastic.

Still up here busy doing a bunch of recording but I have some time opened up in my fall schedule for some guitar and bass lessons! If you're a beginner wanting to get started or if you've been playing awhile and want to break out of the same ol' stuff, send me a message!

Tracking some guitars for today at the styood.

Oh hey, vintage D12e!

Did some cleaning and organizing in the styood the past couple days. I spent more time moving some preamps and compressors around in the racks than I have actually cleaning. Oh! And the website has been updated. So there’s that. www.zoaudio.com
