2013 has been one of celebration for Milton Nascimento.

Heavy metal was alive and well at BB King’s night club in the heart of New York’s Times Square on Friday night, where veterans rockers Saxon, put on an explosive show. Back in the ‘80s, when the New Wave of British Heavy Metal was a musical force not to be reckoned with; you would be taking your life in your hands walking down 42nd Street, as it was lined with head shops, porn theaters, and drug dealers.
When home recording is mentioned in conversations between musicians, microphones, mixers, Macs, tons of cables and complicated software often come to mind. All of these items are expensive and time consuming to set up for the guitarist who just wants to plug in and play without any hassle, so I was excited to be able to try a product that would make this long process simpler.
