OT Kinda: The recording bug

[Myriad_Rocker]

I'm a guitar player that just happened to get into recording. I will always consider myself a guitar player first and a recordist (is that a word?) second.

For all intensive purposes, I have what I would consider my ideal setup for guitar. There are a few changes that I would make, but the core would stay the same. Function would be the same...

Well, since "finalizing" my guitar setup, that obession has moved into recording gear...wanting the best that I can afford so I can get the best results possible. Wanting to learn as much as I can so I can move efficiently, know what I'm doing, etc.

Has anyone else had this happen?

Haha.. If you only knew the extent of it.. I started out on guitar when I was 6... Never fathomed all this back then!

lol I feel your pain. So much that my g/f calls the bedroom that my gear resides in, the "nerd room" No matter what you are doing, how "set" you think you are, there is ALWAYS going to be something you want/need, get use to it.

Oh, I'm plenty used to it. Been into recording for a while now. I think the real reason I'm posting this is because the need for new and better recording gear is hitting me pretty heavy lately.

The way I deal with it is shopping at thrift stores for random equipment (mics, reel to reel, and such)... It's a much cheaper addiction... And quite possibly more fun than blowing all my dough just to get a rush...

I would do that....but I don't want random junk. That's my point. I want good stuff. When I said I had my guitar setup finalized, I didn't mean I was playing an Epiphone through a Line 6 Spider...
