So I joined almost 2 years ago, but have found enough information on various threads that I never felt the need to ask too many questions (Crazy how handy that "search" feature is when you actually use it!
) Anywho, I figured I should finally start putting my registration to good use! My name is James, and I've been playing music (primarily punk rock and metal) for the past 15 years, and originally got into recording as a means of self-production. I did my first demo on a PortaStudio 414 that belonged to the guitarist in the band I was in at the time, and soon after, I built my own (extremely) crude rig using my stereo (it had RCA aux inputs, and dual tape decks for dubbing) and a Realistic mixer I found in the trash (where it rightfully belonged anyway!) Since then, I've upgraded a few times, but I never quite lost my love for jerry-rigged workarounds that usually look ugly, but get the job done. Still a punk after all these years, I suppose!
