Winner of the first ever Home Recording Weekly blog songwriting contest announced.

You want the best? Well, you got the best!

Who will be celebrating their new win with IK Multimedia Amplitube 3 and Groove Maker for Iphone and/or Ipod ?

The winner of the first ever Home Recording Weekly blog songwriting contest is MacLain Christie, with a great song titled “Tell me, Joeseph”! Congratulations! A job well done!

MacLain Christies' winning song “Tell me, Joeseph” is posted here, in the video, so please check it out!!! I know that you will enjoy it as much as I have.

MacLain writes.......

“Well I actually produced it just in GarageBand. I used an Alesis MultiMix8 mixer as my audio interface and a Shure SM57 dynamic mic for vocals. Everything else was played in the box by me through midi with an old General Music keyboard.

I am a piano player and so I typically write my songs at the piano as I did with "Tell Me, Joeseph." I then laid down the piano track and vocals in GarageBand and later arranged it with the other instruments. It would probably sound more natural with real people playing the other instruments, but I just don't have the equipment or resources to do that.”

Now, as for the next Home Recording Weekly songwriting contest.......
