The Recording Thread

And as we've both indicated, the D6 emulation in Recabinet is essential to capturing the missing "chest thump" in virtual guitar-amp tracks. Haven't tried it yet, but imagining it works in the really real world too...

Damn straight!

I'm gonna recommend Cubase 5 Studio and let the insults fly from those who'd be wasting their time with it if they even knew how to use a real mic or cabinet..

Thanks to all for posting in this thread....keep the posts coming.

So how good is the Pro Tools M Box Pro? I don't want to buy a basic interface and want to upgrade six months down the road.

You pricks.. now I feel like writing new stuff and got my old cassettes out from storage. I'll figure this shit out!

Going to Hollywood today to look at this D.I. pod shit and assess which d.i. is the best scratch-pad writing tool for the buck, and start my own a/d xfers.

All I know is from all the live tutorials and demo's I've attended, Cubase is the easiest learning curve for both writing and recording in the digital realm, but Logic is best at fine-tuning and mastering even though Cubase has the weird pitch-correcting and autotune fucktions..

Friend of mine had the Mbox2 which goes for 299, I say "had" because he loaned it out and the "loanee" refuses to return either it, or the calls demanding its' return - so it must be pretty good.

It also comes with cheap software like Protools Limited Edition, which you can download anywhere free if you look anyways.. it works somewhat! Just ask Jay - he likes the cheap stuff alot.

...Use a regular mixing console if you have one (assuming you're recording something like drums)...

@BigBadBrian

How do you plan to record your drums exactly?

Said the library-posting-underpass-squatting douchebag with NO recording gear and a PLYWOOD guitar... You're pathetic, really. Go die in a fire.

Speaking of that. Have you seen the stringless toy guitar being advertised? I saw it last night but can't remember what they called it. Thought of GAR when I saw it though.

Paper Jamz, I think they're called? Saw them at my local pharmacy...think they're around $9.99 at a Wal-Mart/crap-shop near you?

Yeah, he most likely sucks on one of those too...

Now if anyone wanted to buy Senor Pitiful (or is he just a pitiful senior?) a Christmas present (he usually gets coal in his stocking - after sockf***er's had his way with it, that is) this year - you know where to look...

4 minutes, Chef...

In all seriousness, your searching skills are appreciated by us lazy Bastards.

GARfail is simply trying to fit in by all the DAW and mic. talk. The only recording he's done is reruns of Different Strokes back in the 90's on a VCR he found at the curb. (The only piece of recording gear he's actually owned)....

Nobody cares, GAR. Stay the fuck out of Gear Street!

Anybody have one of those digital floorboard monstrosities?

I'm wondering what's the diff between a fifty-dollar Pod-thingy, and the big ones beside having a fake wah controller that doesn't sound very nasally, or wah-like?

This guy showed me his Pod X3 once, and I was impressed that he could get ballpark-reference sounds just for recording. So yesterday at GC Hollywood I noticed they got a used one they're asking 325.. so I know with my artists' discount I could probably have it for 250.

Protools LE is a tinkertoy starter set, I'd expected you to have moved up to better by now.

It's what anyone w/o a dedicated Pro Tools HD system uses, not like you'd know.

Tell ya what - when you move up past your old '60s close-and-play, or cassettes - THEN talk to me. Until you've proven you're even at the starting gate, much less can play your way out of a paper bag - then perhaps your opinion may hold the tiniest bit of merit. But at the moment it doesn't - so STFU.
