Official buying advice thread

OK cool, earlier it was not showing me prices for some reason. I even searched for other stuff & no prices. Now the prices are showing.

Does that stuff look legit?

 

[genocide roach]

i'm absolutely terrified of home recording. there is one person here who can answer your questions...

My friend suggested some of these as well:
http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Line-6-UX2-with-PF?sku=250004
http://guitars.musiciansfriend.com/product/Line-6-GuitarPort-RiffTracker?sku=700519
http://keyboards-midi.musiciansfrie...udio-Interface-and-MIDI-Controller?sku=246510

I really like the sound of the last 2; the last one has some basic keyboard functions, which would be handy, and the second one has some drum programming.
Also these are pretty cheap.

Anyone have any advice?

I just bought that third one. But thanks anyways.

Those are supposed to be a lot of fun for the price.

Yeah, the synth option plus bass modeling on the side sorta drew me in.

 

[ShredHeadJHJ]

I really want to hear some of your epic shredzz with that thing.


On a side note, anytime you think you're really good just try to play a Greg Howe song from his first album. Sure fire way to feel like dog shit about your playing.

LOL that was what happened to my friend. He passed on the Line 6 thing & wound up doing a bit more research & he got this Presonus 8-track thing which is a lot better for what he uses it for. He can record some bad ass stuff now. He plays guitar/bass, sings, & he even miked his drums. He has his keyboard hooked up through midi so he can do some cool stuff with that as well.

I got my Audere preamp installed with relative ease, still some kinks to work out like fastening the knobs the right amount.

MY GOD THIS THING SOUNDS GREAT!!! The transparency is just beyond me. It's incredibly versatile and yet organic-sounding... I love this thing. Expect me to start suggesting it to everyone.

I'll be using on a live CD/DVD recording pretty soon here but I'll try to post other videos of me fucking around with it. I need to start recording myself anyway.

[Eligos]

No but since I have an 8x10 you'll have to worry about unplugging my instrument cable. It'll be nice to stop using that Digitech though...

$150... can you put it on hold for me? I'll buy that shit. Seriously. I get paid in a week...

 

[genocide roach]

anyone played this? it could be mine in about two weeks. i'm a big fan of the S series, and i'm in desperate need of a new 7 string. unfortunately, i cant break the bank on a custom one at the moment (damn cymbals!).
~gR~

 

[Eligos]

Two weeks? What about the recording?

 

[genocide roach]

just dont have the money until next pay check. which i did. but since i'm not leaving, we can use it on a studio recording

[Eligos]

For sure, for sure.
