Me
My name is Tim Laskowski. This endeavor is related to the part of me that likes music and technology. I have written several songs over the years while playing in a couple local bands. Some projects have been a joint effort. Others have been completely solo.
Instruments
My favorite instrument to play is definitely a drum set. The Yamaha kit (black) with 3 toms, a snare, and enough cymbals to have fun with. Playing guitar (6 and 12 string electric and acoustic oh, and a 5 string Banjitar) are also things that I peruse. Bass Guitar is a fun one as well. Lastly, I am working on picking up the piano. This sound like a lot of work, but, what I mean to say is that I am practicing while sitting in front of it, so please do not worry about my safety.
Other Interests
Other musical interests include building homemade instruments. I have now made a cigar box guitar and a cigarbox 2 string bass. Me and the kids are working on building a couple of cigarbox ukulele for each of them. I have no idea how to play one yet, and the challenge we will overcome is that one is a left-handed and the other is right-handed. We will just learn together.
Memberships
Larger organizations are important in that they help me to feel involved in communities that are somewhat like-minded. I am an American Federation of Musicians member in Dayton Ohio, and have been for several years now. 
ASCAP is another organization that I have belonged to for the past few years as Tim Laskowski (song writer) and DWITS.BIZ (Publisher). There are currently a few songs registered in my name, and they are also posted on this site. I have also just entered this song into the USA songwriting competition. Who knows where that will land?
Music and Tech Integrated
The Tech field is where I earn my living. I enjoy learning how things fit together. In music, I exercise these muscles by home recording. Since I play my own music and have a bunch of equipment lying around, I figure I should put it to some use. At home, I use Cubase Pro running through some Delta 1010s. I use Nady 8 port DI Box for the guitars and 3 Nady 8 port rack mount mixers to cover impedance and save space. My live drums use Samson Mics. For headset monitoring, I use a Rolls Headset mixer behind a Mackie. As for a vocal mic I kind love my Rhode.
Projects
Projects for other people is another way I enjoy my time. I like working through my own art as well. My current project is working on a roving laptop based unit using my laptop and a Presonus USB interface. This one is all Linux-based. Free and easy down the road i go!
