Well the other side of that is that his "understanding" dad once "wasted" the first 15 years of his adult life playing rock for a living, and is therefore as old as dirt. Kinda got in the way when he was going through the sports deal. But these days the jam sessions in the basement are quite...

Hmmmm ... just noticed that I didn't really answer your question. My guess is that if you are computer savvy, you should not have a problem learning any of these machines. It also will help if you are familiar with the working of a sound mixing board, as things like outputs and effects loops...

Not sure how the buddy list and visitor message thing works, so you might want to confirm that this gets through OK. My recorder (the now discontinued Tascam Pocketstudio 5 4-track recorder) is still in the $300 category, so can't speak from personal experience, only what I have read and heard...

PC recording vs. Standalone multitracker Some prefer to use PCs and software to record, about which others can provide advise. I prefer the a standalone multitracker, the features and quality of which will depend mostly on how much you want to spend. You can check them all out at...

Thanks all for the advice and information. I spent a while on the FL studio site, and though I was totally clueless about some of the features mentioned, I'm going to download the demo and if I can find my around it a little then go ahead and buy the $100 version. I figure between that, my...

Nice song poem JD. A couple minor changes I might make: "And talk about the good times That you remember most" "And times that have gone by"

Nah .... I bought it all myself, and I'm thinking of having it buried with me. If I pass it on to him, he'll probably sell it all to get money for downloading ring tones and IPOD movies.

Thanks Demi, this is just the kind of info I was looking for. I'll be checking all the sites out. Tom

Sorry if I misconstrued your remark a little. I am sure I am a PITA parent to my son in some ways, but not when it comes to music. Having spent some years in the business, I understand that taste in music is a generational thing.

Thanks for the response Fiev. Hmmm ... guess I forgot to mention the PC. :o I don't use a PC for recording my stuff as the noise it generates gets into my guitar effects chain. But I was definitely thinking of using the PC when it comes to the kind of music discussed here, as from what I...

singles is what I have at the moment on my strat. Thinking about getting a guitar with humbuckers, but can't decide which one.

RAMI, Precisely the opposite. My comment was tongue in cheek -- but in truth I let him choose his own way and am supportive of anything he does or listens to musically, short of buying him the stuff that they must keep behind the counter. His tastes are varied. He likes my kind of rock -...

The things we do for our kids!!!:confused: OK ... so despite my best efforts to direct my son toward more traditional rock styles that I play, he does have some interest in rap, or at least beats that sound to me like rap beats, with some "semi-singing" going on in between the rapping. He...

On Les Pauls The last time Aerosmith was in town, Perry and Whitford switched guitars with the usual regularity, seemingly attempting to have each major brand and type equally represented. Then they did a 12-bar blues piece where Tyler mostly just sat by watching as Perry and Whitford played a...

How incredibly silly. There are always going to be guitar players checking out what you do. Why even care about them? -- other than to perhaps realize that if they are watching your pedals and not your neck hand, the time you spend considering such about such nonsense would be better spent...

My mistake Z -- hit the wrong Quote button. In the future, please make your posts longer so I don't make this mistake again!!!:rolleyes:

In the interest of full disclosure, my preference for maple over rosewood is based on playing Strats. My 68 tele was rosewood, and I never played a maple one. The tele was my first name brand guitar, bought because of the low price. I soon sold it in favor of a LP.

I would tend to agree -- and as a result the body has negligible effect on tone IMO. I would think that Mex ones would have less quality control in manufacturing than the American ones. If you are able, visit various music stores etc. and play both types until you find one that you like the...

You bemusement is a result of the fact that your 2488 has been free of problems. Even when first introduced at a higher price, the 2488 series was ridiculously less expensive than recorders that cost hundreds more and offered less tracks and/or bit resolution. That is why I am not surprised...

Nice song. The lyrics are OK, although the words are a little crowded at times. The sameness of the verses and choruses might seem less evident if some additional or varied instrumental backing were added behind the choruses for emphasis. I would shorten the intro and the spaces between each...
