hey, I'm kind of new to the recording game and I'm looking for some advice. The type of music I'm going to be recording will be mostly progressive punk / metal.

I'm using ezdrummer for the drums, but I don't have enough money (or expertise) to buy a decent amp and mics for recording guitars. So, its a toss up between Guitar Rig 3 and the Line 6 Pod 2.0.

I am in a couple of bands. I do the sound. Rehearsals and jams are at my house. The main band is five-piece rock n roll. Right now there is only vocals through the mixing beard. All I have to record with is a laptop. Oh, and I have a Tascam 22-4 reel-to-reel that I may or may not use.

Hey all i just got some new gear and I'm still kinda new to recording.

Gear:
Lexicon - Lambda
AKG - Perception 220
Midi Cable
Stand

Amp:
Randall - RM100H
Cab:
Marshall - 1960 Lead
Guitar:
BC Rich NJ series w/ Emg 81 and 85

I just purchased a Tascam Portastudio DP-02CF (refurbished) and I am having some trouble, I am getting no playback. I assume its recording because I hear it through my headphones and the meters show it is getting a signal, but when I go back and press play I get no sound at all. I did some internet research and it seems to be a somewhat common problem, so is there a solution?

i was wondering if anyone knew who to get the gear like sound going on in pavements - motion suggests. i've heard it in other songs old and new, though i can't think of any right now.

heres a youtube clip where you can hear it, though not as good as in the studio version.

Hey guys what’s up. After asking some questions and reading many pages of info on this forum, I’ve come to the point where I need to finally buy some stuff. Which is always a good thing : )

Here’s what I currently own:

RODE NT1A mic

PreSonus FP10 audio/midi firewire interface

Logic Pro 8

Here’s what I’m looking to buy:

Short story long-

Hi,

I am new.

I have been using the MBox mini for a few months now and love it and love Pro Tools so I decided to expand my gear.

Can I use the Mbox 2 inserts for outboard gear while I am mixing? I want to use a Apex Exciter on a mix I have in Pro Tools already. There are inserts on the back, but I don't know if they work in conjuction with Pro Tools LE.

For the last couple years i have been on a never ending quest to achieve that famous fuzz tone of the 60s garage bands such as the sonics, early stones, the kinks, the chesterfield kings. I guess the best representation of the sound would be a new band called the urges.
