...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.

You'll just have to take a look at Recab's website to see all the features, cabs and such. So what do I think about it? eeeeehhhh...well:

I understand I only paid $15 for Recab complete 2.1, I get that some stuff has been updated and improved, I understand that it's designed to be easy to use, and while I do think Recab sounds real good right out of the box....This plug just doesn't have the features or possibilities offered by iFace and Redwirez. I know redwirez IR's have their own problems and I've got to EQ the crap out of mine most of time to get them to sound as I like them. But When I can buy a much more functional iFace for $20 and select which cabs I want to purchase for $8 or $5 a pop plus I get MANY more IR's....

...Recab 3 looks and feels like a toy...not to say that it will sound like it, but come on. I really had high hopes for this before I even knew iFace was in the works. For me to spend $60 bucks on this thing, it better sound WORLDS better and short of a collection of cabs in my living room, I just don't believe it will at this point. Especially since ABG has plans of a similar to iFace plug that will work with Recab 2.

Sorry Recab, I just think it's too little too late and priced too high to even compete.
