Wow, who knew the Monkeys ever did a movie sound track? :D Seriously, way cool!

JStation I use my Jstation to record bass. It's actually designed to do bass and guitar. There is no separate Bass J-station, it has models for both types of amps. It sounds pretty good (IMHO).

My first was a peavey T-15 (circa 1981-2): http://www.philsguitars.com/images/elsolid/Peavey_T15.jpg I loved it at first, but in retrospect it was a terrible guitar. For the first couple years I played I thought the reason I couldn't play barre chords was the fact that I sucked. However...

I have a Charvel model 4 (same pickups as your 6) and my monitor has a field day with them -- especially the humbucker! I think it's the fact the that the pickup is active (you know that little 9 v battery you have to replace once in a while) that makes it so bad. I find I get less...

I like it, but I agree the fuzz on the guitar is a little weak. You said you ran it int he recorder direct. What did you run it out of? BTW, the vocals are great.

Foot Pedal? I love my J-Station too, but Johnson seems to be struggling these days. I want to get a footpedal board for my J-Station (like the J-8), but can't find any of the standard online stores that carry it (Mars Music, Musisions Friend, Zzounds). Anyone know where I can pick one up, or...

I think the bass sounds really good. However, I found the guitar tone lacking. What did you use to record it? The drums get a bit repetitive after a while, but I think the vocals sound pretty cool.

J-Station!!!!!!!! I'm really happy with my J-Station. Be sure to consider that option.

I tried several options and went with the J-Station. I get good sound out of it, and it has and S/PDIF output so you get a really clean (totally digital) signal to the sound card. Heck, and the $149 price tag sure doesn't hurt. ;)

misterx, Whoa!?! Now clearly there are some flaws in this song, but it's it's easily of average quality (if not a little better) for what people post in this forum. He's asking for some feedback on how to improve his work, and that comment provides nothing. Tukkis, This is a cool tune...

I figured there would be some folks on this board that liked Southpark, but some of you guys are nuts! :)

Actually, there wasn't any autotuning going on there, but there should have been! I think what you guys are hearing is my attempt to shout "TIMMY!!!!!" in three part harmony. I didn't quite get it in tune and so you get a funny dissonnance. I may have to try tweaking that part again, but it...

OK, here's my first posting to the clinic in a couple months -- and it's an odd one! http://www.xalien.com/tunes/Timmy.mp3 If you watch the TV show called Southpark then you should get it. If you don't watch it then you'll think I'm crazy, but let me know what you think anyway! :)

Dan, I absolutely recommend the Studiophile monitors. They're perfect for my set up, but if you're going to invest in a pair do yourself a favor and spend some time at the store listening to options. What's best for me might not be for everyone. :)

Daniel, Those are M-Audio Studiophile SP-5B monitors. Here's a close-up pic: http://www.xalien.com/studio/stand3.jpg I like them a lot -- for $300 nothing I found seems to come close. So, where's the picture of you're studio?!?!? :)

Here's my little studio -- nothin' too fancy. http://www.xalien.com/studio/xalien_studio-may-6-12.jpg

Gully, I'm going to have to disagree with Roadkill when he says a casette multi-tracker can't produce better results than a boom box. It's not that you'll get professional recordings with a cassette multi-tracker, but I don't think Tex has tried "boom box" recording lately to recall how bad...

Other important considerations... What are you recording into? What are you using for a Mic preamp?
