The phone is a killer, for sure! If you've got a mobile, turn it off to stop that irritating dit-dididit-dididit noise it creates.

Good idea! Everyone loves a bit of trumpet, too. Ooh ooh, cover some Cake!

As has been said a few times in the thread so far, it seems the only way to deal with it is to... well, deal with it! Sadly there's little that can be done. Luckily I've only got a girlfriend and a cat who doesn't meow.

Always good to hear a success story! Might make me pull the trigger on my home studio and just get it done...

The easiest thing to do would be to pick up an affordable interface, something like a Focusrite Scarlett 2i2. That'll make all recording much easier forever!

I find it hard to get a mix I'm happy with. I'll be fairly pleased listening on one system but then not at all listening to another.

I always thought it sounded like a guitar being played with an Ebow, so that's one thing - without the Leslie, you want Flange/Chorus and Delay/Reverb on that.

How on Earth did you manage that?

Absolutely top interface. I highly recommend it.

The IO2 is a decent bit of kit. If you can stretch your budget I'd recommend the Focusrite Scarlett 2i2 for £119 though.

This thread is a goldmine. Lots of interesting info! I've looked into setting up an indie label myself, a few years ago - a thought that's still in the back of my mind.

I'll +1 this. It's a great source of information!

How about a "If you can read this, love our band!" bumper sticker? :D

Iw ould say that Spinal Tap must be embraced at every opportunity.

Part of that'll be in your EQ. Don't get it too muddy!

Big fan of Guitar Rig here. Since I discovered it I haven't used anything else.

I've got a podxt myself, and I often use it purely as an interface. If you connect it to your computer via USB and then go into your Pod audio settings you can choose to "send clean guitar only". That's the way I do it!

The Hot Rod Deluxe is a pretty nice amp, in our humble opinion. Capt Hair above is most likely right, that the sound from the amp is not quite what they were after. The Fender clean sound is one of the best, though, and we'd heartily recommend it for that!

Hey guys, We here at the Junkie are always looking for new stuff to listen to. You guys must have plenty floating around! Any recommendations or favourites of your own you want us to give a listen to? Likely played in store!

Hi guys, Andy here from Music Junkie, a shop in Leicester. Just wanted to say hi, I've been setting up my home recording set up and thought this would be the right website to sign up with haha. Hope everyones good, hope to speak to you soon :)
