Hey guys - I stopped coming here years ago - felt it was more important to work on writing and recording then getting the ol' GAS syndrome again - in the end I used my home studio to record multiple takes/demos, but ended up recording an album in another studio (albeit, a well designed and...

Gretsch black duo-jet - for all around Neil Young - alt-country roots rockish stuff. Rickenbacker 3xx 12 String ------------------ I know a lot of guys like 30 watts - any other ideas for a good hybrid amp -I may blend it with the sound of a clear 15 watt Fender Tweed in recording rb

has anyone played with the acoustic version of this thing? - I've been listening to the sample tones but you know how that goes - sometimes I'll be working on something and I'll want a banjo playing in the background, but rather then blow 300 on a banjo, maybe I could fake it and be on my way...

don't think it's gonna happen - I'm not using pro tools - I'm using a propritary gui editing system (Mackie HDR24) - any way it can be done with patch cables? RB

Hey guys - ruebarb here - been a while, but my band's doing an album - I just tossed out 5 tracks when I realized my damn snare mic was picking up too much hi-hat - forgot how much fucking fun this can be - (all I ever wanted was to be the musician - screw home recording) so here's the slight...

so here's the history - I'm a big fan of Bill Mallonee - and the Vigilantes of Love, and we on his fanlist are doing a fan tribute album... and this was my fav. song of his (a Jack Keourac tribute to desolation angels) - and I covered it in an stylin acoustic way, but I'm not sure it's good...

you can get right on top of the 58A and not have too many problems - and like they say...in a live show, that's bigger then pops/hiss - I also noticed he sings upwards - I heard you get better projection that way - but who knows...the man didn't exactly go to the Roger Daltery school of...

dude...you need to read my post again...closely - :D anyone who has a line on the Fostex/tascam/korg digital recorders....please let me know. RB

nope.....seeking the opposite - a small almost Portastudio solution - PC requires moving too much stuff unless I did a laptop, and I think I'd pass on that. RB

ok...here's the deal....I have a great Mackie studio - D8B -HDR24 - super stuff - I record my band and demos in it at my practice space. here's the problem - 20 miles away, closed some hrs...and too much shit to work for on the fly recording - I need something cheap and easy for the apartment...

WTF how hard is it... boom chacka boom chacka boom chacka boom - :D RB

Hey guys, been awhile... Now all we pros know you can't master from home...and you need a mastering house. However, I'm doing literally a gig demo (a 5 song demo just for getting gigs) for a band next week.... Problem is, my Masterlink died. I have a decent soundcard and burner on my PC...

doh... and so am I...ever heard of the Ballet School Troublemakers...or Pushin' Daisies, or Peculiar Red... Minneapolis....more bands then fucking mosquitos... ps....if you win the Lottery, I want a Mesa boogie :D - preferably a triple rectifier...- LOL RB

is it really that good... the mic that made me come in my pants was the Rode NTK...best vocal mic I've ever heard... Is the Studio Projects C1 really THAT good? do ya get a woody when you hear your voice thru it? - LOL kidding..:D - kinda..... seriously though...my NTK is super.....has...

took in to be repaired last week..(it died 2 mos. ago, but I didn't have the funds to repair out of warranty) replacement parts are scarce....even worse, it's the mainboard that died...it'll cost $500 bucks to fix... is it worth it, or should I just use a spare comp and some mastering software...
