Me hurry now. You get new song quick. Me post later.

The Studio Projects VTB-1 is a great preamp. Especially for the price. I bought one to use for vocals with my Studio Projects C1 mics and it often eliminates the need for any equalisation. Also works great for micing guitar cabs. You can use the tube blend to add a little bit of sizzle to the signal. And, if you use something like a POD or other digital modeler you get that fat tube warmth, helping eliminate that digital harshness that comes with the digital modeling territory.

Who gives a damn whether this is late or not. Big deal, it's just information. It's awesome and I didn't know about it. Now I do. Thanks, Doomsday.

FL Studio is GREAT period. Good for beginers and...non-beginers.

I wait for natural disasters like hurricanes and tornados to come around. That's when I rush in and make money off of people's suffering. Everybody's gotta have a good roof on their house and I'm the guy to provide it. For a price.

Double your budget and get a Studio Projects C1. I've tried this mic along with a Neumann U87 and I honestly could not tell the difference. I bought two C1s for vocals and acoustic guitars and have never been happier.

The semi-hollows are a little more resonant than a solid body electric but nowhere near as resonant as an acoustic. Still not very loud, though.

Prizm, that guitar kicks some serious ass.

Dude... that is awesome. Looks like a dungeon.

But whyyyy?
There's also this! But I don't really record with it too often. But my isolation box is almost complete!

Until I get my own place I'm pretty much stuck with this lousy "workstation."

You can try series/parallel wiring to cut one of the coils off the humbucker at a certain position on the selector, but for this you need a four conductor pickup, and most stock pickups are not four conductor. Also, you can install a coil-tap switch which cuts off one of the coils as well. Look here.

PM'd you a link to my WIP, Aeth.

Well, I don't really hate it. It's just a personal thing. A silly thing, really. When I first got into recording, the whole world was telling me how great ProTools was and how magical it was and that it would save my life. Plus, it's the "industry standard." I really wanted it but I couldn't really afford to buy the LE bundle.
The first piece of recording hardware I bought came with Cubase LE, so I grew fond of Cubase. When I finally did get a chance to play with ProTools I was so disappointed. It didn't do anything special that Cubase couldn't do. And for whatever reason, it was really weird with exporting/bouncing to disk. It pretty much had to play the entire song while exporting and I couldn't export single tracks. I had to go and mute the tracks I didn't want exported and had to wait the entire length of the track for the export. That I actually did hate, and I said it out loud. Anyway, word got around that I "hated ProTools" and I became known as "the one who hates ProTools."

Your custom tone would sound like crap if you tried that, trust me. Not worth the effort. Just buy a decent humbucker.

My absolute favorite remix on this site. Hearing this from a friend is what dragged me over to OCR in the first place.
-
I've never even heard of anyome suggesting such a thing...I doubt it can even be done. You want to cancel hum? Activate two single coil pickups. You want a humbucking sound? Get a good humbucker. For Strats with single coil slots, you can't go wrong with Seymour Duncan Hot Rails.

didn't you get run over by a forklift or something ridiculous like that?
Yeah, crushed my shoulder, which is still in pretty bad shape, but I can move my arm enough to play guitar if I sit leaning way back and lean to the right and hold the guitar almost completely vertically. Uncomfortable and painful, but I don't really care.
-
Yeah, you don't really need the mixer. You could just plug your guitar into the Digitech then go straight into your soundcard. If you're going to use your amp at all, I'd suggest you get this microphone to mic the amp, which will sound WAY better than just using your Digitech as a direct recording device.

Broken shoulder, not so broken anymore, back on schedule, big-ass WIP by the end of the week.

DON'T DO IT! ProTools is a path to the Dark Side!
Edit: No, I don't think the system requirements are huge. I used to have the first MBox that came out and it worked fine on my G3 Powerbook, which had like 380 something MBs of RAM. If you can, get the bundle with the JoeMeek compressor. That little compressor alone is worth the extra $100.

I like to make plans to colaborate, arrange some of the music, and when it comes time to actually colaborate with someone else, I like to have my own forklift run me over, putting the project on hold for months.

I still haven't worked on the new track yet but I'll get to it soon. Recording is no fun when you have the chickenpox.
