Hi, Thanks for the info on recording prices. I’m just trying to get a general idea as to how much it would cost to do something that has at least a pro sound. I can record a lot of tracks on my pc. Most of the tunes I’ve done have at least 18-20 tracks when I’m finished. I bet if I did that in...

So would it be safe to say that a pro studio gets about $500 per hour?

I have a modest computer home recording setup that I use when I have time. Someone asked me the other day what the cost to record a full length CD at a professional recording studio would be. I'm thinking it would be a good chunk of mula, maybe 10k or more, am I right? Anyone have a ballpark figure?

Thanks for the reply. I enabled the virtual Midi port and was able to get a signal at the recording VU in n-Track, but was unable to record anything. I've heard that these two programs are known to not work well together. :confused:

I have absolutely no experience with Midi and have some very basic questions about setting up Midi on my computer. Recently I discovered a program called Vsampler. This seems like a pretty cool program, maybe just what I need to add orchestration to my audio recordings. Ok, I have some questions...

Mikeh, Talk about not remembering... I was playing a gig on a Friday night many years ago in B’ham Al, starting getting in the party mood, Next thing I remember is waking up in Florida over 300 miles away from where I was playing. Looked at the clock and was supposed to start playing in about...

Toki, I noticed that you are from bama, ever play in B'ham? Thanks, and a big right on to you. :D

Fitz, It’s so true that there are many more guitarists today. When I started playing I new of only a few guitarists in my area. Now there’s probably a guitar player on every block. I’m sure that Fender probably sells millions of guitars, but I don’t care if they sell a billion. I will always...

Fitz, Sorry that I called you Rick, You know my eyes aren't what they used to be:rolleyes: What you say about some guitarists is true. I've jammed with a lot of rock players that don't know where C# or anything else except chords like E A B etc... Yep. that C# is a hard one but a lot of people...

I am 46 soon to be 47. Started playing when I was twelve. Played my first gig when I was 13. Played out for about 15 years. I spent nearly 10 years playing in a band named Shelter. We did pretty well on the local level, but never had any kind of big success. After playing for nearly ten years...

Jimi was great! Thanks Elvis for starting this poll. I think Jimi more than earned his place in music history. True, there are a lot of players out there that can play his riffs, but I say there is a huge difference in just reproducing something that has already been done, and taking rock...

Start a poll! There's been a lot of discussion about wether or not Hendrix is an over rated guitarist. It would be very interesting to find out how the majority of guitarists feel. Since you started this thread Elvis, why don't you start a poll?

It's not that bad Bob. At least if anybody asks you to play a Hendrix solo with your teeth it should be a lot easier.:D

Danny Gatton!

Hmmm... I think I'll have to say Buddy Guy. As far as Hendrix being overated I'll have to disagree. Hendrix was way ahead of his time:)

I think you bring up a good point about older artists being respected in other types of music, but in rock music it seems that older people are made fun of a lot. I for one am very supportive of the Stones. Hopefully, they will keep rockin’ until they are in their eighties. Some time ago they...

I played in several bands many years ago. The older I got the more difficult it became to find people in my area that were serious about playing. Even though I'm considered ancient in the world of rock music, I still miss playing. I thought it would be interesting to find out how many guitarists...

I’m not sure if these bands have been mentioned yet. The Music Machine Blue Oyster Cult Dave Clark Five The Monkeys Louisiana Larue The Atlanta Rhythm Section The Kinks The Human Beinz Crow Chase The Blue Cheer The Rockin’ Rebellions Rare Earth The Average White Band Buffalo Springfield The...

I took a chance and ordered a CIJ Fender. It turned out that the guitar was really great. In my life I have owned several pre CBS Strats. Out of all of those guitars my CIJ Strat beats all of them hands down. At least in my experience with the guitars I’ve played. IMHO On the wood issue I...

I have to agree with Firebird, guitar solos are completely cool. I used to be impressed with the technical ability of those super fast pickers. My taste has changed a lot in that I really enjoy the slower more tasteful solos. I once read that a famous guitarist said (can't remember his name, I...
