TV Music
Bob has also produced music for network TV. Music that he has written has been heard on network soaps including
- Another World
- Guiding Light
- As the World Turns
- Riviera (a European show)
- Lifestyles of the Rich & Famous
Gear
After years of having a cartage company haul around a double-wide 24-space rack, several keyboards, a Leslie, a vintage Wurlitzer, and other gear, Bob has gone to a keyboard rig that uses plugins accessed in his laptop. Using a select group of plugins and a MIDI keyboard, he is able to provide any sound requested by a producer, without the cost of cartage and a large hardware setup.
Plugins are accessed on a Mac PowerBook G4 laptop running Rax, a plugin player for the Mac. Plugins include Ivory, B4 II, Reason, MOTU Mach Five, Native Instruments Elektrik Piano, and MOTU Symphonic Instrument. Bob's digital interface is the RME Fireface 800.
