Default I like recording

I like recording music but I'm not the best at it, especially with limited funds!

Hopefully this forum will help solve some of my problems

The biggest solution I've found is to have someone else run the 'chinery. It's enough focus to worry about playing for me.

Worry less about the guitars you want. Play the guitar you have more.
The answer will come, and it will not be what you expect.

A guitar is a tool, and a friend. But it is not the answer.

It is the beginning.


Current Guitars:


Taylor 716C Modified
Voyage-Air VAOM-04

CD: The Bayleys: From The Inside
CDBaby
Amazon
Also available from iTunes

It _really_ helps if you can get them to _buy_ the machinery, too!

with a decent pc, and a couple hundred bucks (or less) you can make very nice recordings from home.

reaper ($60.00) is a very full featured daw.
one mxl 604 mic ($100.00 or less)
one good sound card/interface ($100.00 or less)

$ 260.00 tops, and that is a good beginner setup.

look for a good condition echo mia card without the midi. probably forty bucks now.

Or if you have a Mac, Garageband is more than sufficient to lay down acoustic tracks. Grab a shure 57 and a mic stand and your good to go!
