Third CD has been written.

hey just an update . I have 9 songs written and in the pipe. (I think). Just trying to polish and mix. Happy with most songs but a couple I am not so sure. Ill keep at it and pick the best.

The sound is alot more jazzy. There are still heavy guitar parts but overall it is sounding worldly:) . I am really happy about the new recording process and the drums sound great. I am in a learn as I go mode and am a little nervous about the final mixdown.

Please look forward to my third album coming soon thanks.... Chris

Hi, sorry I havent posted lately. I have updated my equipment and sound. I am not sure if I will use this website for my new songs or create a new one. New name ect... Eitherway this website will change in the next few months or year.

Right now I have four new songs created for my third album. I think there is a huge improvement in sound quality. Drums have always been a problem with not sounding right , two tingy. But now they sound like real drums. I am still frustrated with drum programs but using Sonar Homestudio 6 with session drummer 2 is a big step in the right direction.

Please look forward to this new album in the next few months to a year. I will keep posting updates here and hopefully a few songs.

Equipment purchased: 1 quad core computer 320 hd 2 gigb ddr ram.
1 Sonar homestudio 6xl program.
1 Audiophile 2496 soundcard.
1 Xenyx behringer 802 mixer.
1 World of Warcraft. (for research)
1 samson Q7 Microphone

equipment already have: 1 Ibanez electric guitar rg450 dx
1 Fender bass
1 Boss GT-3 footpedal (great effects)
1 yamaha se700he ele.guitar Made in Japan.
1 roland pc-300 midi keyboard controller.
( have not used yet)
Lots of cables and cords ect...
1 sony headphone.
1 Kenwood stereo amp and speakers
Right now I do not use any amps but I have a fender and a marshall stack when I play live with a peavey PA.

Please feel free to post comments or suggestions. Thanks,
CAS

BLAH BLAH BLAH, new songs called Train Wreck, post Hi Hi , and Take Control are up blah blah blah blah anyone interested:)

I have been rather lazy lately. The rest of the songs for the 2nd album are done I just have two clean them up and post them.
Changes are coming

I am hoping to redo the website with a new look and some other things.

I am hoping to have all songs on this website downloadable for free. Thats right both albums and some instrumentals will be available for free in downloadable mp3s . Individual songs in your grasp.

No catch no signups nothing.

please look forward to this soon thanks Chris Shortt www.cas@boogiemancas.com

Hey , new song called Smoking Coals is up and running. Sorry it took so long . Part of it was summer lazyness and part website trouble.:)

Im thinking of changing the website a little. The appearence of it. Please look forward to this.

By the way this new song was recorded on my new Ibanez guitar. What a nice instument, stays in tune really well and has great tone. This song took some hard work from me ,, more so than others. But I think it is worth it. I am quite proud of it. Please enjoy

Seeya Chris ...

Two new songs coming up in the next day or two. One is called Smoking Coals and the other is a Train Song instrumental. Please look forward to them.

Everyone needs something. Including myself.

Album almost done:)
