I recently hooked my mixer into my soundcard, but of course, I'm stuck with a mono connection. Considering I'm playing alone at home, it's fine. I got some alright sounds from simply plugging my acoustic electrics into the board and also micing.
Anyways, I created a short sort of intro piece on House of the Rising sun, by recording first two slightly differently timed arpeggio tracks (not entirely an intentional effect, but it does create a cool delay sound), then a melody line and a very simple bass line.
The other is a fingerpicking of the chords of "Don't Think Twice It's Alright" by Dylan without a huge regard to the original fingerpicking pattern, my... unique vocals, and a melody line.
These two tracks are essentially rough-cuts, but they seem passable as they are to me. I'm more lenient about making mistakes nowadays, just because it's really just supposed to be fun, not taking a thousand takes/splicing them together. I did the parts entirely in each take I tried, then got rid of some of the verses and melodies were I goofed and stopped or whatever.
For the main guitar parts in "Don't Think Twice, It's Alright" I was using the microphone for my singing, so it sounds alittle more "electronic" than intended. I put a degree of equalization and reverb on that track as well.
Anyways, I know, I don't own good enough guitars and I suck at bass and my recording equipment is too poor for you to make any comments about it and my singing blows, etc, but I do want to share these, I think they're at least interesting. If anyone has any tips on removing noise or some constructive criticism on the mix/playing/whatever that's fine. I'm not picking a fight with you by not owning a $20,000 Martin, a $1,000 Microphone and a massive rack of recording equipment, or even lacking talent at what I'm doing.
Anyways, now that I've probably turned anyone from listening to them, here they are:
