Home Recording Studio and Gear

None of this stuff makes me play guitar any better, but it sure is fun to see the blinking lights.

Details —

60th Anniversary Fender American Deluxe HSS Strat
Fender Hot Rod Deluxe
Dunlop Crybaby wah
BBE Green Screamer
Boss DD6 digital delay

Shure SM57 instrument mic
Sennheiser e835 vocal mic
Alesis 8 channel usb mixer

Laptop running Ubuntu-Studio, 100% free software (http://ubuntustudio.org/). It’s a flavor of Linux that comes preconfigured with a low latency kernel for realtime scheduling and interapplication routing through Jack.

Sooperlooper is a real-time live looping application that allows for keybindings or MIDI controls, or the gui. I had to get creative with my big toe, but will probably hack together a homemade USB foot controller soon.

Multitrack recording software – Audacity – Free – http://audacity.sourceforge.net/

Home recording’s kinda fun, and I’m looking forward to posting a fresh vid soon with studio effects and higher quality audio.

    Make sure you have your Input and Output set correctly in Audacity. View , Toolbars , Devices and use the pulldowns to see your hardware, and then experiment ’til you get it. I’m finding I don’t even need Jack running. Mic to mixer into laptop via USB and recording directly into Audacity. You can do it.

    how do i do this? Ive got everything here i just cant it to record. the connection setup is not as easy as windows. Help me out

    Hold On, wait a minuite, I said ‘a High End Soundcard like in this video’, I realize you are not using a high end sound card, well take my advice. If you want high quality recordings, you should get a dedicated sound card just for recording.

    Also if you haven’t already, upgrade your Windows XP Home Edition machine to Windows XP Professional or Windows 2000 Professional. That will convert your home studio into a Pro studio!

    Naw, I was just kidding on the Windows XP Part lol.

    CONTINUED: using …
    CONTINUED: using the name ‘home studio’ because it only makes my studio sound ‘unprofessional’ instead of the stuff it can do. Sometimes a small room with a high end computer with the highest end equipment is a ‘professional studio’ weather its at home, in an office or in a terrible environment, like a bedroom. I strongly believe though that if you can find a good environment with no disturbances, then you will get professional results.

    I strongly believe thers no such thing as ‘home’ recording or ‘professional’ recording. Unless you are using a basic computer soundcard to record yourself playing a guitar and using a home studio software like Acid Music Studio 9 to mix your recordings on the computer, all studio quality equipment like a Mixer, a Pre Amp and a High End Soundcard like in this video is Professional Grade, even though its at a home. I mean heck. My studio right now is in a home, but I don’t like

    Yeah, I looked in my Guitar World ‘09 gear, think I’ll just save for the Sonar V-Studio 100.

    This isn’t bull, this is what you use if you want quality. A good mic, through a mixer, into your computer.

    If you want a pedal connected to a USB cord, they have that stuff, too. Do some more homework and don’t be so of. :-)

  13. Megadedly Says:

    I need a recording software I can use for guitar, this is bull, why can’t you just record a guitar through a pedal connected with a USB cord man. me off.

  14. sivad2 Says:

    try out propellerheads new record software. it’s in beta right now. go to there website and try it out. You will of course still need mics, and a sound card that will allow you to input the stuff to your computer. If you want to go free though, audacity is not a bad product to help get your feet wet in recording and mixing

    what can someone …
    what can someone recommend for recording acoustic (not acoustic-electric) and electric tracks (like as layers)? I dont have a lot of money. i just want something simple to record my guitars on to. like where should i start?

    4.get urself a royer ribbon microphone if want to do justice to ur guitar amp…and use it along side sm57….

    5.u’ve got too much stuff lying there which distracts you…try gettin rid of it.

    if you have a trackin interface….use it as a D.I,alongside a signal frm ur amp and then pan them to opposite sides and you have a killer distortion at ur hands.

    take care and make pristine music…
