I picture the sound of your mom on one of your recordings... "Micheal.... Garbage out yet?!"

Love the speaker stands, I'm looking to do something myself. I'm inspired.

I found myself in the store catagory now. I have 5 Gibson, 2 Fender, 3 ESP or LTD, 1 Ibanez, 1 Dean, 1 Music Man I recently decide I need to clear out offshores. I've got enough US and MIJ that the others don't cut it so why bother.

Ok, if you haven't heard enough already let me give it a shot. In my opinion of the order of importance for a direct recording guitar... ...intonation, ...action, ...pickups, - easily fixxed with $90 for bridge pu ...inspiration -feel in your hands ...tonewood -people will pooh pooh this but...

Really good to hear, I've got an 002R just glaring at me. It would be nice to get a little more use out of it.

There's gotta be Charvel's Model 1 thru 5 in that line up. hehe

I'm pondering a heavy duty metal shelf to house all my basic tracking gear in my jam room. My room is only 14'x14' so I need something with a slight footprint that won't be in the way when I'm strapped on and riffing. I'm thinking about a 4' wide 18' deep 4' high gladiator shelf. Has anyone...

I like that product. I could see alot of people using that material if its reasonably priced.

There's alot of good advice there. What I do since my live rehearsals are meant to be quick demos. To me that means something you can quickly get to mp3 or cd quick without alot of batch processing. Often I will discard a good percentage of these recordings once new songs are close to being...

A slick, simple option is to pick up a Zoom handy recorder. Very mobile, very robust and delivers good audio quality. You can run whatever mics and misc sources into it and it goes straight to SD card. This is way more stable then relying on a Mac or Pc and you can option to mix it down later...

OMG, I checked out the Run Rabbit demo and freaked out. I'm thinking about all the Mike Patton noise you could make with this.

Just so everyone is on the same page here I picked up some of these blankets and the will work like you guys stated in a quick pinch but these are not nearly as dense as moving blankets used by movers. Density being a big deal here, I'd actually spend some money on some good thick blankets for...

Bleed free tracks are ideal but the performance is what we're here for. If the overall music isn't intended to be guitar and vocal only then sure track sep. but there is a syncopation between guitar and vocals that are lost (IMHO) if not tracked together.

May as well dedicate the G5 to the jam room. So I'm thinking a pair of SM57's into a Mbox Pro2 into the G5. Quickly backing up recordings to SD to send home with bandmates.

I guess I should expand. I'm looking for opinions on current experience to simply record in the heat of band practice without having my back to everyone when i should be tuning my guitar. Yes I have been around, many generations of Macs and OS versions. I've used Audacity (didn't realize it...
