Half the fun (for me anyway) of home recording is the challenges I face working with sub-standard equipment. I have to work with whatever I have. My latest project takes that to a whole 'nother level.
I recently moved from California, where I had played in bands as a bassist for many years, to a very small community in Wisconsin. The first two people I met said they had some old instruments they used to play around on.
They had never even played a song from beggining to end, or ever played with any other human beings!
The timing still needs alot of work, but it's improving. I'm pretty proud of this bass/drum team for how quickly they've advanced in just a couple months. (I do all guitar and vox).
Drums were recorded by having him play to a ghettoblaster CD player with headphones, recorded through a single PZM mic into Calkwalk Home Studio. (it's all I had to work with)
Everything else went direct.
Please reply with comments, very curious what you think!
