ABOUT MEGregory Tait A classically trained pianist, Gregory Tait received his bachelor’s degree in music and his doctoral degree in engineering. Drawing on a lifelong involvement in music and audio engineering, he has set up a home studio for recording and mixing musical works. Current projects include recording short musical pieces from the classical, Christian, and folk repertoire. By making these recordings freely available via streaming from music hosting platforms, he hopes others will discover and enjoy this music, and perhaps use this music in their own creative endeavors.

"The pedal point, a long-sustained or repeated musical note usually in the bass register, provides a ground above which the harmonies change over time and create tension and excitement. As the harmonies progress above the pedal, our need for a return to the root chord grows.

This blog journals the process of setting up a simple and inexpensive home studio for recording and mixing your favorite music. Technical and artistic sound engineering design features are discussed for this computer-based digital recording system, from the sound gear to the digital audio workstation. This is not a tutorial -- you can get plenty of that on YouTube. Come follow along as I explore the "mysteries" of putting together a music studio that can create some great sound recordings right in your living room.

Jamendo Music - Streaming Host
Click page to go to my Jamendo Music hosting site
In April 2020, I began putting together my home music recording studio, and shortly thereafter started recording and producing some of my favorite musical pieces. I wanted to make these digital recordings available for free streaming and download to the broader musical community, and that is where the music hosting site Jamendo Music comes in. Here's a brief statement of the mission and goals of Jamendo Music, quoted from their website.........
Jamendo’s mission is to offer the perfect platform for all independent artists wishing to share their creations as easily as possible, reaching new audiences internationally. Our philosophy is that any artist in the world is entitled to share his music and should have a chance to be heard by a greater number of people around the world.
In the early 2000s, new ideas on how to digitally share creative works came to life. Creative Commons brought an alternative to the automatic “all-rights reserved” copyright, eventually leading a small group of people in Luxembourg to found the pioneering website Jamendo.com, the first platform to legally share music for free from any creator under Creative Commons licenses.
Jamendo is all about connecting musicians and music lovers from all over the world. Our goal is to bring together a worldwide community of independent music, creating experience and value around it.
On Jamendo Music, you can enjoy a wide catalog of more than 500,000 tracks shared by 40,000 artists from over 150 countries all over the world. You can stream all the music for free, download it and support the artist: become a music explorer and be a part of a great discovery experience!

My goals in putting my recordings "out there" were to achieve over 50,000 listens and over 10,000 downloads. In the almost five years of sharing my music on Jamendo, these goals have nearly been met, with 50,756 listens and 9,178 downloads as of December 2025. The "statistics" of these listens and downloads over the past year are shown in the graphs below. Also shown below are histograms of the number of listens per album and number of listens per track over the past year. I am looking forward to releasing some new music in 2026.
