THE_DIGITAL_PRINCESS posted: Thank you for your advice - also thanks wraith. I will look into it and let you guys know. I spent a while writing stuff for local bands but it wasnt really what I wanted to do. So, I did what I could - set up Cakewalk on my PC, and started to put the bones of the songs down in MIDI. Then play in any keyboard parts live. The other thing I like to do is record the single MIDI track back into Cakewalk then use the plug-ins to play about with the audio that you get. For me, not being technically advanced on things like the Bass and Guitar it keeps everything in time but gets great sounds. Using Real Guitar and this method you can get some pretty cool sounding 'Guitars'. I have just had to plug in another 1GB of RAM to accommodate all the audio parts. Thats where I am now, not as experienced as some of you guys but after what I have learned using Cakewalk I am ready to upgrade to Sonar. And I am just about to finish off my Demo. Edited 1 time(s).

here's my stuff lately too unused
strings Chapman stick #104 Ibanez Gem Custom shop "relic" strat (I laughed when I got this from my friend but is a git with a mind of it's own) Michael Kelly vintage mandolin 70 Les Paul sunburst (blame Page) Johnson Dobro square neck Guild D-50 Lanikai LU-21P Pineapple uke and last but far from least, prototype bass from light-wave, five sting fretless. Light-wave patented a L.E.D sensor to sense the movement of string vibration to sound. you can eq each string, there is no magnet, actually there are no pickup. drum machines Roland MC-09 (if you can find this get it! great box it's got the 909 beats in it. really unique start of the grove boxes) EMU MP-7 (I got rid of a korg workstation cuz this did the trick, little bit of a learning curve but hey works for lil john) recording boss 909 with cd burner (eh it was cool when I got it) Mic's Shure greens!! AKG tube mic (which is hardly used, what was I thinking) phantom power and all the stuff that goes with tube mic's don't get me started) The Noise Fender bassman head 70's era, (great head which is going up on craigslist pm me if you want it. Tones are... well it's a fender bassman just not vintage yet) Half stack with all greenbacks (this is another one that's going to the craig. Heh if I go out again I'll rent it  )
Stompbox Whoa!! ok pales in trent's collection but quite a few. PM me if anything sounds interesting, not after profit but would like a good home for the bassman | |

Sorry to post after myself but I would give the head and the half stack to someone worthy... as in free

Guitarist/songmaker by trade, but recently invested in some studio gear as I've been itching to get in to it for years and finally had the coin to satiate my burning desire. Inventory as follows:
Studio Gear: HP Notebook PC w/ 2.4GHz Intel chip, 3GB RAM, 500GB HD, 17.1" widescreen (I think...?) ...running Cubase 4 on the PC (soon to be 4.5!!) Presonus Firestudio Interface w/Firewire Tannoy Reveal 5A Powered Monitors M-Audio Axiom 49 MIDI Controller AKG C2000B & C1000S Condensor Mics Shure SM58 Dynamic Mic V-AMP 2 for Guitar Pop-filter, stands, a library full of manuals, blah blah... Guitar Gear: Guitars and amp: Epiphone Les Paul Studio Guitar Ibanez RG170 Guitar Yamaha FGX-something Acoustic-Electric Marshall MG100 Amp w/ AVT 412 Cabinet Squire P-Bass Peavey Express 112 Combo Amp Effects: Jim Dunlop Hendrix Wah Pedal DOD Grunge Distortion DOD Stero Phaser MXR Distortion + Boss DD-3 Delay Danelectro Cool Cat Chorus Zoom Acoustic Sim Marshall Footswitch Custom-designed and custom-built pedal board Leads, cables, picks, etc. Looking through the list I probably don't have the most elusive (and expensive) gear around, but hey, it's what you do with it right?? And let me tell you I know how to use it (and after all these years I have spent a small fortune anyway!) Well I love my gear!!!  And this is all phase 1... now saving for phase 2, upgrades. | |
Here's where I do most of my listening. There have been a few changes since, but it gives you the basic idea. | |

My stuff as of 5 minutes ago:
not pictured: mic stand and the mic itself. what I want: that micro-ms20 midi controller for my ms20 vst. THey dont make them anymore and they're really fucking cool, I guess I have to hit up ebay once I get a job. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/05/2008 04:34PM by Antakrt. | |
Only about 1/3 of my gear is pictured. I have more synths, and my guitar and bass rigs in another room. My current favorite piece of non-pictured gear is my MidiNES. I also recently replaced the shitty old Ludwig drum kit with a Pearl Masters Studio kit. I use an assortment of old 60's and 70's broadcast mics, beaten up pawn shop mics, and an array of Russian condenser mics. I don't use much legitimate "musical equipment". You're more likely to see me micing dumpsters and banging on them than you are to see me with my guitar in my hands. I have too much software to list, but I fucking hate software. Sounds cheap. | |
not pictured is an access virus ti, and soon a moog little phatty. Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 09/05/2008 10:51PM by evelynmachine. | |
