I started recording in November. I have about 12 original songs, with about 4-5 additional songs in various stages of developement, but I only have 3 original songs on the site. I also have a bunch of cover songs on there. Give the site a look and the music a listen, then tell me what you think
My gear:
PC with M-Audio Delta 1010lt soundcard
Sonar software
Sennheiser e835 mic
Fender p-51 mic
Fender Princeton Chorus Amp
A ton of guitars, but mostly an ESP M-300 with custom EMG active pickups, and an Ibanez electric-acoustic
All of my effects, compression, EQ, etc. with the exception of distortion (which was through the amp) came from sonar. A few songs were done direct-in to my sound card with no preamp, which surprisingly worked without bad results, although I think my active pickups may have helped in that.
The quality of the recordings got better and better as I learned how to use all of my new equipment and software. The cover songs show this, since they are listed in reverse order I recorded them (newest is on the top).
