Aaron McLaine “the pok is my new best friend”
(Guitarist/Vocalist/Songwriter/Producer)
"Okay, here
is life before the pok. In my home studio, I'm
basically a one man show. Including tasks from playing guitar,
to engineering, to recording vocals. I can't tell you how many
times, while I was either recording guitars, bass, or
vocals,
did I say to myself: 'If only I had a unit that I could use that
would free up my hands during this recording process. Imagine
the time I could save, and how easy it would be for me to stay
in the vibe while recording'. Well, that was life before the
pok. Now that I have this great invention that was so
long overdue, life is so much easier. Now, when I'm recording
vocals, I don't have to reach over to my computer's keyboard to
do another take. Nor do I have to do that while recording guitar
parts. All I have to do is control the session by using the
pok's foot controls, and I'm in business. Not only is
the
pok great for studio recording. It can also be
used in live situations as well. How do I know? Because I'm
using it in my solo project. I've been trying to figure out a
way for my drummer to start, stop and locate the various loops
that I have going in my live show. Before, he had to reach over
to the computer, stop it, start it, and locate songs by using
his hands. Now, that's a little too much going on for the
drummer. It's just more to cause confusion, and make him lose
focus. Now that I have the pok. I programmed my
location points, as well as start and stop. This has made it a
lot easier for my drummer and less stress for me. Bottom
line: the pok is my new best friend. You can't go
wrong with this unit".
