Basically. im a guitarist and i've recently formed my first band. i've been playing for a while but this is my first band. Our equipment is feeble....and attempts at recording even worse. Basically....given a budget of say......under 2000 what should i be buying assuming i have no equipment at all. i'll give you a list of all equipment whether useful or not. So far i have...my guitar. (heh heh), a 3 channel 2nd hand amp (samick, pretty shitty) which i have just blown and have to get fixed, we have 2 mics, a pc witha decent 4 channel sound card and various softare including cakewalk. So far all i've done is used one mic, shoved it in the middle of the room to capture the music, very crude i know, we only use it to get ideas down. but we wanna start recording some at least half decent demos. Any help on what equipment, techniques, or anything at all you think i should know, would be greatly appreciated. btw...in 6months i will be starting a producing course which should increase my knowledge greatly...but for now..i need help. cheers
