Yea that's what I was saying. I also said that just shredding all over the place is equally un-impressive. I think that to a degree, any decent guitarist who puts his/her mind to it could play lightningly fast, therefore I find it a bit underwhelming with metal bands when every solo is the...

Interesting. Here is where I'll probably get gunned down by you all but at the moment, having just forked out for a load of new gear, recording the bass was going to be simply a case of plugging it into my interface and hoping for the best A bass amp is pretty much out of the question for me...

I think that if we're all honest, our favourite part of any piece of gear is a fancy nob, cool light or fancy dial. Sooo many times I've been explaining to someone what something does, and it always ends with '"plus, it looks COOL".

Thanks for the advice. As a guitarist I'm just so ignorant about good cheap basses. And for what I need it for, I just need something half decent to record bass lines with...generally just for acoustic music. But yes, shall just go and play!!

I'm of a similar mind...personally for me, the classic solo thing seems a bit dated...and unless you're doing something new I'm generally pretty hard to impress. I'm into music that moves forward as opposed to backwards. No offense to the blues/old skool rockers, I think there's a time and a...

I'll be looking at getting hold of a bass guitar just for recording over the next few months, just seeing what you guys think? I'm a guitarist so not to hot up on my bass guitar knowledge...I want something easy to play, very very cheap, but decent enough for recording with. I stumbled across...

Yea still own it. Holding onto it for sentimental reasons!! And honestly, I take it out and try and play it? And the tone just doesn't sit right with me anymore...I'm a Fender boy through and through now. I bought a Mustang not long ago...one of the best guitars I've ever played.

Just ordered the new iMac 21.5 myself. http://store.apple.com/uk/browse/home/shop_mac/family/imac?mco=MTAyNTQzNjA New processor and improved graphics. I've been advised that for what I want (similar to you...one or two tracks at a time) this PLENTY powerful.

Firstly...LOLZ. Secondly? I too am in a similar boat. For the first few years of playing guitar, I was all about the big solos/fun bluesy stuff etc. I recently listened to some old live recordings from gigs when I was about 17-18 and I was doing some maaaad stuff! I'm still playing guitar a...

We bought some shaped sponge/foamy stuff...my wife insisted on sewing covers onto them for aesthetic pleasure. It does look rather funky though, thanks!

I like this thread...it's hearty and honest. I'm a total newb in home recording land...I've not even started properly, so when buying my first load of gear, I decided to keep it simple and only get what I need to fit my needs right now. One mic, a midi controller, some speakers and a simple...

I voted spare room. I love that two people have studios supposedly in their bathrooms?!

New project Here's some pics of our new recording space...doesn't quite look or feel like a studio! Just a recording space :cool: It's obviously not finished yet...just waiting for the new apple to arrive! Bluebird Mic Vocal "booth" (basically a padded out corner surrounded by a duvet...

Many thanks for the welcome. Armistice - it's a complex task but our minds fuse together somehow. As mentioned, pretty much completely new to the whole home recording thing, so excited to learn lots! Chat to y'all over the coming weeks/months/years!

Hey there My wife and I have been playing music together for a long time...have recorded a few bits and pieces professionally but never at home. Having a recording studio at home has always been a pipe dream and finally, two weeks ago we decided to set it up! It's a fairly small sized box room...
