I've gotten to where I can work with just about anything.
I don't really believe in 'magic' equipment that makes you sound good .... guitars especially. I can get a good sound out of almost anything as long as it intonates and doesn't buzz.
I have a buncha cheap condensers ....... never had...
That ME-80 is a great multi fx ... I have a friend uses one into a Hot Rod deVille ..... sounds great.
I have a buncha amps but my fave is basically a boutique Deluxe .... added a PPI master and you can turn the neg feedback off which makes it a little woolier .... and as a LSU fan I went for...
well, I have 22 guitars ..... been playing for a living and recording for 60 years.
I can do any gig with any of them ..... for recording it's rare that I go for a particular guitar to get a particular sound ..... I tend to use whatever's closest to me.
I do tend to use my paul for certain...
splicing tape .... it was made specifically for that ..... and you would have a splicing block that held the tape in place to make it easier to get a straight or angled cut.
I've never done more than 1/4" and that was fairly simple although once it's cut it's cut so don't mess up!
and if you do...
lol .... :giggle:
I get that actually but in music basically ANYthing one person likes is hated by many others.
I do what I like without consideration for anyone else's opinion and everyone else should too unless you're making a commercial release in which case the court of public opinion is...
I've been doing this almost 60 years .... back in the day for the most part no one said 'I want a specific sound' so much as they used what they had and got the most out of it they could.
I pretty much do the same these days ...... whatever sound I can get is what I work with ..... often it...
TRACK RAT!!!!
Lol .... 1999 for me too ....... have gone away because I tired of the politics but that seems to have died down.
When it's about music/recording/gigging it's a great place
I've got 6000+ LPs ..... 5 turntables so I guess I'm a vinyl guy ....... I'd say my favorite overall era would be the 70's but I pretty much like anything
it's not automatic that overwounds have enhanced tone ..... there are some that prefer the sound of lower output p'ups ..... personally I'm fairly indifferent but I have seen overwounds that were so hot you almost couldn't get a clean sound out of them.
And as TalismanRich mentions, actives can...
you stick the card into the recorder and it will prompt you to format it if needed
I have several Tascam recorders and all of them do this ..... I haven't used a DP-03 but I feel pretty sure it will say ":Card needs formatting" or something similar and give you prompt to accomplish it

That's actually the year I graduated and went to playing full time ..... the gear we had was primitive by todays standards ..... or 'vintage' I suppose! :P
