ok, so here's what i got and what i want to do...

[Hairy Al]

i've got:

porta02
Samson S12
a sony computer mic
Senheiser headphones (partially closed back)
Fender precision (mex)
Squier Telecaster
Trace Elliot 7215SMC
Park G10R
Peavey microbass (only works when it wants to)
pentium 100 with Cool Edit 1.0, shareware version of rebirth and hammerhead
zoom player 2020 with (backwards) expression pedal
zoom 506

a big bag full of hope, determination and an empty pocket

i would like:
to make my recordings sound so much better without expense (impossible?). i seem to keep on making very muddy recordings, losing the bass underneath everything. i also want to use unconventional synthesised percussion sounds and samples from hammerhead but will they upset the mix?

i've got a lot to buy if what i've seen from most of the postings is true!

Yea, brother:

You've got a lot to buy and you should read more of this site and check out someone's studio back there in Thomas Hardy Land.

PS. I love Thomas Hardy and have taught his novels for 30 years.

To start with , I'm afraid you're going to need a little more computer. At a minimum a 300 MHz/128 Megs of ram, 256 would be better.Either a small mixer with some decent pre-amps or a stand alone pre-amp and at least one decent mic. Sounds like you have all the rest (a head full of ideas).
