Hey guys,
I guess I'll give you all a little background first. I've been drumming pretty much all my life, my parents met in a band, so I've been around it forever. My Dad ran a 10,000 square foot studio from the time I was 7 till 12, and I homeschooled some then, so I was in the studio almost every day watching people play and learning stuff from my Dad.
Last year I was on the road a lot playing for a band who needed a temporary drummer, that was a pretty cool experience. I picked up the guitar while I was on the road and started really learning how to play it after getting home. Nice break in the drumming. So I've been playing guitar around half a year.
Then I picked up a Guitarport from Line6 for the online lessons, didn't really learn anything from that, but it gave me a basic way to get tones into my computer and track.
I got Mackie's Trackion 2 and started messing around with it around two months ago or so, just covering other band's stuff to see how close I can get.
Anyway, what I used a Kramer Focus through the Line6 Guitar Port for the guitar tracks. I used some old Ludwigs I have set up right now for the drums, and I recorded them with a single Shure KSM32 mono into Tracktion. The bass isn't a bass. I just played it on the low E string.. well, D string in this case, of my guitar and pitched it down an octive afterwards.
I put around four or five hours into this. It's only a minute long, but I plan on building off of it a little more.
Anyway, enough babbling. Here's the file.
