Greetings all! Just joined the site today, bringing along some high hopes of getting my dreams of doing a little home recording up and running. I have a degree in Electronics Engineering, so I consider myself a pretty quick study as long as I have a manual or someone to walk me through things and show me how something is done.
I started playing guitar and drums at around twelve years of age, and during all of Middle School and High School I played a bunch of things from Trumpet to Drums, French Horn and more. I've always had a desire to write and record my own music, just as a hobby, not with some dream of making it on somebody's "Top 40". My music has always been really personal anyhow, not that I don't think it's any good, it's just something I've always done alone in my free time.
Now I have a couple of nice guitars, my prized axe being an all out Dimebag
signature Dean,
set neck and all. I have a GNX4 that handles all of
my effects needs, from distortion and delay to chorus and cabinet modeling. I recently picked up a Behringer UMA25S USB Audio/MIDI Controller that came with some limited software, and have hopes that I can use it to make my drum tracks as well as bass guitar tracks, while using the same software to start laying down the guitar
tracks.
I wish all of you other newbies out there much luck as well, and look forward to possibly making some friends in the process. Really like the site so far, and feel happy to have become a member.
Rock on everybody!
