    Looking for a nice electric guitar

    Heh! That's not so ugly I guess. I mean the 3 dogear pickups are kind of Mickey Mouse looking, but I thought for sure you were going to say "B.C. Rich Warlock" or something :P

    Lookin' for a bass

    I owned a few weird second-handers over 20 years or so until I got a brand new Fender American Deluxe P-bass. It was awesome and looked like concentrated funk buttons. Needed 2 9 volt batteries for the preamp. Then a few years later I bought a 2002 Squier Jazz bass that cost $180 and it became...

    How big problem would my room shape make a.k.a should I invest on a studio or not?

    I wonder if the bed will act as a sort of bass trap in some way? That would be a happy accident. And it beats sleeping on mineral wool or rigid fiberglass. Does anybody know?

    Exporting Pro Tools tracks to wav?

    Thanks! That helps a lot. I think I'll probably go with the "consolidate" option and ask him if he wouldn't mind doing that. I felt kind of crappy going with someone else to work on it further other than the studio we used, but the singer is kind of in charge of the band and he is dead set on...

    Exporting Pro Tools tracks to wav?

    This is probably a stupid question, but I don't know anything about Pro Tools or most DAWs: My band recently recorded about 20 songs with a guy at a small basement studio, and the singer wants to have somebody else mix and master it. The tracks were captured on Pro Tools and rough mixed, but...

    Noisey drum and bass duo

    Also, how did you record the drums with only 2 inputs? Did you use a mixer for all the drum mics? Just curious.

    Noisey drum and bass duo

    Wow, I'm impressed! I dig the song. I agree that it could use much more kick, and maybe less bass guitar in general. What fat_fleet said makes sense to me (although to be honest I probably have even less experience EQ-ing than you do.)

    Cheap two-channel audio recorder?

    Sorry, should have checked Amazon.co.uk. They have it too, but not as cheap (about £130). Still, if you can buy a used one and have it shipped it might still come in under your budget. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Tascam-DP-004-portable-recorder/dp/B001JIDCNO/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1352223618&sr=8-1

    Doubling Guitar

    Well, it will be the same signal, but using 2 amps really does make the sound bigger! Especially if you separate them by adjusting the EQ of one to have more bass, and the other more treble, and have one set cleaner like ranjam suggests. I got a Live Wire ABY1 switch and tried it out on 2 small...

    Guitar Center did a Press Release on me and my studio I have been building!

    Neat article; looks like you decided to do it up right and got some good help.

    Using Tascam DP004 with an Alesis Mixer

    If you have the money, a laptop will drastically open up more options for you in terms of mixing and mastering. With the Tascam you are limited to 2 inputs, so at most you can do a stereo recording with a live mix using your Alesis. It will be a "what you hear is what you get" situation. I do...

    What's your Tascam product?

    Tascam DP004! Nothing fancy. I wish I had waited until the DP008 was out though... :(
