![]() Westfall states that it was a very creative year for all of them and promises CAAMP’s latest cozy cabin music will be released in 2022. They’ve been growing CAAMP ever since.ĭuring lockdown, the members of the now-four-piece band found themselves writing and recording CAAMP’s yet-to-be-released third full-length album and finally getting time to focus on their solo projects. The pair put in the blood, sweat, and tears and found themselves making good on that pact. “We knew it was gonna work we just didn’t know when.” “Tay and I always were confident in what we were doing,” says Westfall. The contract stated that by the time Westfall had been in Athens for a year (May of 2016) the “wheels would be turning,” and Caamp would be well on its way to becoming a band that was taken seriously, the kind that could be a full-time job. When Westfall first moved to Athens in May of 2015, the pair drew up a “contract” and signed it. We’d sit across from each other up in Taylor’s attic and smoke American Spirits in his room and drink Coors light and it was so fun.” “We just hit the open mic hard every week, all year.Īnd then we’d play an open mic and we’d get our three songs a night.We’d kinda see how the crowd reacted to certain songs to decide which songs we wanted to put on the album and which songs we wanted to leave out,” says Westfall. “We were just kind of amusing ourselves at that point, seeing if we could do this make a good album. The duo then built the remainder of CAAMP’s self-titled debut record off the vibe of those two tracks. Meier wrote the concepts for two songs that the pair felt captured the sort of storytelling they were striving for - “Vagabond,” which now has 71 million streams on Spotify, and “Ohio,” a fan-favorite that tells the story of growing up and coming of age in Ohio. “I still can’t believe I play the banjo I never thought that’d be a thing for me.” “It was just fun for me to go out of my comfort zone and pick up the banjo,” says Westfall, who notes that he grew up listening to music more along the lines of the Ramones. ![]() Westfall had been listening to the Ray LaMontagne-infused folk CDs that Meier had been burning him, and he began to compose musical arrangements in that realm, while Meier honed in on the lyrical aspect of the band’s work. And we wrote and recorded the first CAAMP album that year,” says Westfall. So, I ended up moving down there for what would have been our senior year of college. I didn’t want to do school I wanted to do music. “I wasn’t really doing anything at the time. If you don't need it, that's fine.Meier had been playing regular open mic gigs at the popular Athens bar/restaurant Casa Neuva, and Westfall was eager to join him. And if you are trying to prepare some kind of tutorial (or doing online teaching) where you want your audience to be able to follow the cursor more easily, the Ctrl thing in Windows or the Lens are really not what is needed.Īs an example, trying to show things in Photoshop or in PowerPoint where the cursor becomes a single dot when you are using a pen is very difficult without some way to make the cursor more obvious.īut hey, to each their own. So this means it won't work for many, many situations. Whatever you mean by "mouse highlighting works for me", you said that this is very limited to "desktop recording". But as you can see from the many threads about it just in this forum, many people have a need for it.Īlso, it seems like the arguments you are using to say that it's not necessary are the exact arguments why people are trying to find ways to highlight the cursor. If you don't need mouse highlighting, that's fine. It is also written in AutoHotkey and has been downloaded over 100,000 times: For example, my most widely used program is Toolbar Creator. Third, several of my programs are widely used and available and there has never been any report of virus in them (even though when users try to install them they might get the same kind of message you are getting). If it's of any interest, I'd be happy to upload the source code of these programs. (For example, here is a recent thread where it was discussed and where it says the same thing I just mentioned: ). Second, the programs were written in the AutoHotkey language, and programs created in this language are often frequently flagged by antivirus software even though they don't contain any virus. I have made these programs available through my research group's website and sharing something with a virus in it would not be very good for my career! First, you can be sure there is no virus or trojan in there.
