Thanks so much!!
To all who listened.
This was kind of a celebratory jam, as I was so happy to be leaving tape behind, and this little machine is just too cool.
God, no rewind, I LOVE IT!!
Plus I hadn't played my guitar for about a week, and it felt really good to just pick it up and jam.
I spent most of the last week installing the Zoom into a Raxxes pull out shelf. I had to go to a woodwork shop to have side panels cut to size.
Then I had to go to a machine shop to have a 1/4 inch thick alluminum top sheared to size, that would slide into small alluminum channels that were mounted to the wooden side panels.
I then painted the side panels flat black, and left the alluminum top natural mirror like finish. It really turned out nice. Maybe a pic later, if I can figure out how.
theron,
Thanks for the email, advice, and the fun of sharing my enthusiasm. I hadn't bought a recorder since DCC's were out, needless to say it was exciting.
Procedure wise: I wanted to use as much of the Zooms own built in sound as possible. I recorded the rythem git straight into the Zoom using the Zoom's own stereo chorus.
The drums are a Zoom 123.
The overall reverb is also built into the Zoom. I tried to use it sparringly. I thought someone would complain. Reverb is a touchy subjet around here, and rightfully so.
This machine has very limited guitar proccesing, and no distortion. So for the lead, I used my Pod with floorboard wah.
This was the first time I ever used midi. This allowed me to put the drums in when I wanted to to avoid bouncing. Great feature, midi!!
Sorry to ramble, can't help it, new toy!!
