tgfoo Posted July 18, 2006 Share Posted July 18, 2006 I'll let you know if it's any good when I get it. Should be arriving sometime this week. Holyshitomg it's good. I just recorded a light, fingerpicked arrangement while construction guys were drilling holes in my walls, and the recording still came out rich and pristine, and with zero background noise. I think it's a safe bet that it will be replacing my Yamaha as the acoustic I'll be using in all my mixes. Great to hear you like. Actually, out of all the people I've ever talked to that have gotten an Acoustic Variax, I haven't heard a single complaint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Taucer Posted July 19, 2006 Author Share Posted July 19, 2006 My only complaint is that the strings buzz on hard strumming, but that'll be an easy fixes when I get around to it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnappleMan Posted July 22, 2006 Share Posted July 22, 2006 Properly setting up a guitar isn't something to "get around to" Taucer! How do you expect to compete with assholes like me if your gear isn't even in proper working order!

I don't have a good setup for micing, and it's a pain in the ass anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geoffrey Taucer Posted July 22, 2006 Author Share Posted July 22, 2006 Yeah, direct recording. Well, direct to mixer (Behringer UB502) to soundcard (EMU 1212M). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Ricers Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 I just added an Alesis Micron to my set up, two days ago. Neat little machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beatdrop Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Software: FL Studio 6 - Producer's Edition Sound Forge 8 Favored Plugins: PlastiCZ Vanguard WASP XT Muon Tau 2 Hypersonic V-Station Superwave P8 Hardware: Roland SH-32 Korg Electribe EA-1 E-MU XK-6 Keyboard I try to stick to the quicker bread-and-butter instrument plugins most of the time. I have a pretty large arsenal, but I find it much more enriching to create a fairly simple synth sound and then see what I can do to it during post-processing. The results that I can get out of FX plugins tend to be a lot more creative, unique, and useable than what I could squeeze out of a seven operator FM synth with a 32x32 modulation matrix. Do you have any idea how badass an upright bass can sound after you process it with the right kind of distortion, some heavy compression, and a light touch of reverb? And truth-be-told, I hardly ever even touch my hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vagrance Posted August 12, 2006 Share Posted August 12, 2006 I think I posted in this topic once but meh, my collection's grown: Sequencers Cakewalk Sonar 5 Producer Edition (Just got it yesterday, she's a beaut) Image-Line FLStudio 6.0 (Very handy for making quick little loops) Reason 3.0 (Perfect for on-the-go producing) Plugins: Absynth (Freaking Amazing, I ALWAYS use it for pads) B4 II (Perfect for Drawbar organ sounds) Battery 2 (I love this for Drum programming, too bad it doesn't like Sonar) Elektrik Piano (I'm using this a lot more than I thought I would, despite it being an underpowered Kontakt) Kontakt (Resampling on this thing makes me happy, so easy to get some killer sounds) Pentagon I (So much fun to play with, nothing outstand but you can get some wicked stuff by applying effects afterwards) Reaktor (A pain to learn but oh-so-rewarding) Reason (I'm listing it twice because I mainly use it as a plug-in) Spektral Delay (A very fun plug-in to get some amazing sounds) Z3ta+ (Very versatile synth, I love it) Favorite Free Plug-ins: BiFilter (A wicked filter) Crystal (A poor man's Absynth) Rez (Those guys at U-Go have done it again) sfz (duh) String Theory (Not the most versatile thing in the world but oh so easy to beef up) Triangle II (A poor man's Pentagon I, nothing outstanding but still a nice little synth) Hardware: M-Audio Oxygen 49 MIDI Controller (I love this thing to death) Mackie 1202 12-Channel Mixer (Snagged it used for $110) *SOON TO COME* Shure SM58 (With a Mixer I need a Mic) *SOON TO COME* Rode N1TA (With a SM58 I need a nicer mic) *SOON TO COME* Monitors (Not too picky about which ones, I'm thinking about 4 or 5 different pairs, basically whichever one gets really cheap the quickest) Computer: AMD Athlon 64 X2 4200+ Dual-Core Processor M-Audio Audiophile 2496 2GB of RAM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CC Ricers Posted August 14, 2006 Share Posted August 14, 2006 I'll take the hardware off yer hands! Dibs on the XK-6 keyboard. Anyways, here are some things on my wishlist: - M-Audio 2496 or E-MU 0404 (looking to get a deal with software packages) - Ableton Live 5 - Korg Electribe ESX - Some kind of cold, digital sounding synth to complement my Alesis Micron. Like a roland JP-8080 or Virus TI (I wish) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

curteck Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 Finally, I found the thread I was looking for. It hasn't been updated since August so I'm hoping the discussion didn't jump somewhere else. Here's what's at my disposal: Software: Adobe Audition Hardware: Takamine G Series Acoustic guitar Johnson Electric Bass Brownsville Electric Guitar I'll be adding to this so I can start producing the good stuff. Of course I'm still trying to decide exactly what I need. I'm pretty sure I'll be getting FL 6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guns rofl, we use it anyways) Memphis LP Clone electric guitar Hammer Dulcimer Various percussion instruments and crud Stuff we don't actually gots but have access to, cuz it belongs to friends or the SAC, which we use when playing live An amazingly nice drum set, with like 2,000 toms and a billion cymbals and chimes and a cowbell. I should make cowbell samples. Hmm. A handful of practice/studio guitar amps. A farfisa organ. An extremely out of tune upright piano (in the SAC). About 50 various mics. (SAC) A set of 4 JBL 1x15 PA monitors. (SAC) A small handfull of Crown mixers, amps (dear god they are heavy), crossovers, compressors, and various other goodies. (SAC) 10,000 miles of cables. (SAC) Fog machines, lights, light triggers. (SAC) and the coup de gras... 2 4x15, and 4 4x12 Speaker cabinets (SAC). These things are so amazingly huge, we can only fit like 2 in the truck at a time. But they can reach the masses, so it's all good. Probably a few things I forgot. So basically, we have this ridiculous amount of shit, but as of currently, nowhere to set it up (we got kicked out of our last place). So it's pretty much scattered between 3 houses (mine being one).

Sir_NutS Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 My setup is very modest really: Computer: AMD Athlon XP 2000+ 1gb DDR RAM 1 IDE 80 GB Hard Dsik 1 SATA 80 GB Hard Dsik Cheap ass integrated soundcard ATI Radeon 9600 Pro Software: Reason 3 Recycle 2.1 Fruityloops 5(for midi sequencing) A huge load of one-shot drum samples, and a few instruments soundfonts(around 20-40 gb) My ever growing collection of self-made synth presets. Hardware: Sennheiser HD-280 Closed headphones Logitech X-530 5.1 Sound system. Old ass non-midi Yamaha Keyboard. That's pretty much it. I will be upgrading my PC this month(Athlon 64 3800+, 2gb DDR RAM, ATI Radeon x850 XT) because frankly I'm quite limited with this computer setup.
