    Here's my studio

    That is one HUGE Fender hiding under the desk - what do you feed that thing! (little amps, I'm sure) Also, very nice Tele.

    tube amps

    Judging by all the responses, I'm becoming aware of how much I have to learn about all the new equipment. There seems to be two schools of thought: those with amps of great tone, and those who prefer great emulation. Foo, I agree with your nod about the Mesa/Boogie Mark IV, but I almost...

    a "live" space

    After having an eyefull of your rig, I've just one thing to say -- "I'M NOT WORTHY! I'M NOT WORTHY!" Actually, I'm most impressed by your ability to stay digital through the whole process. I'd have to recommend any newbie to your website, just to have some direction as far as equipment...

    a "live" space

    Hey, I'm not above dumpster diving, if it means savings some bucks for gear! Thanks for the great tip.

    tube amps

    Does anyone have a tube amp they are truly pleased with (enough to forego using outboard overdrive or distortion units)? And, how does the Marshall valvestate stack up? My rig now consists of a Fender Princton (which has one of the best panning chorus effects I've heard) and a Zoom console...

    a "live" space

    My studio (a teeny bedroom) seems to be a very live space - I've considered covering the walls with fabric or foam, but don't know where to start. Anyone have any luck with certain materials, methods? Also, where to buy? ***Man, there's always something ELSE you have to have for a home studio!

    Electric Guitar Recommendations

    Druid, I have bought (and sold) over a dozen "cheap" guitars (under $500)in my life. I even built my own in '88. And to be honest, had I known the difference between one of my old hockey stick guitars and the Les Paul I now own, I would've saved my money and gone with a Gibson. The difference in...

    event 20/20's- which are the best fit?

    Just curious - where did you order your 20/20's from? Also, do they come with (or need) a subwoofer?

    methodology

    Thanks for all the help - Lemme see, I got some powered speakers from Radio Shock, and they sound great! I was truly, well, shocked ;) Then, instead of blowing all my cash trying to go line-in to the recorder, I put the amp in a closet down the hall (per S8-N)great tip, by the way. What comes...

    Why is Paul stuck singing in Left Channel?

    Hey S8-N - good point about the first Van Halen album. I read in Performance magazine a while back that Ted Templeman knew he had a guitar god on his hands, so he purposely panned over Eddie's lead tracks to isolate the sound. If you set the balance all the way to the right, you won't here any...

    methodology

    I've been playing guitar for a quarter century and gigged around some, but very new to recording. Just really hate playing to tracks while wearing head phones, but unsure about running directly into mixer. As is I've miced the amp with a Shure 57, which runs into a Tascam 424mkII. The sound is...
