...A home studio and creative outlet. I will explore different setups, hardware, software, and review anything I find that I like. Almost everything heard on my recordings will be digital, from the guitar amps to the drums, from the strings to the compressors, all with both musical taste and price point in mind. I intend to help others and document my work with setting up a studio on a budget. What's best about this is that anyone can do it with a little know how and time. Not including the computer and the guitar, it is possible these days to make your own recordings for as little as a few hundred dollars. This is my attempt to do just that. The goal is to create amateur but realistic recordings from software for as little out of pocket expense as possible. So, feel free to comment and ask questions. I'm doing this as much for the community of home studio enthusiasts as I am for myself as a way to express my creativity. I'm not sure I'm looking for cutting edge - just good sounding songs that might put a smile on your face or make you want to drive a little faster in traffic. I hope you enjoy.

Ignite Amps

Mr. Alu of the Guitar Amp Modeling forums has just released his first amp sim - NRR-1. This thing sounds and plays great. I've got a quick little (slightly sloppy) demo I threw together last night with my first attempt using it. For the speaker cabinets, I used Redwirez Marshall, Soldano, and Uberkab blended IR's. I think with a little more tweaking, I'll start using it for some stuff. And just in time as well. I'm getting ready to track guitars for my next song. Right now I'm leaning toward this for rhythm stuff and the Lextac tone I've been using for lead. Check it out for yourself.
