Hello,

my band and I have decided that we're going to record a few of our own songs to have something to put up on youtube, myspace etc. Since we don't have the hardware or cash for a proper studio, we decided to create a poor-mans studio using my digital bass-pedal (which acts as a soundcard when connected to a computer). The idea was to hook it up like this:

i searched 'smoke' on RO

I heard smoke is bad for speakers/equipment. Why is that? What if I smoke 6 feet away from the speakers, is it still a problem?

I'm sure I know the answer to this question already, but I am just looking to hear some other people's input on the subject.

So just how bad is cigarette smoke to gear? guitar amps, compressors, microphones, etc...

Just wondering if thats yet another thing I should worry more about!
