Damn. These are really good, I used to play one at school.

I think that a lot of the "benifits" of an expensive purpose built studio with expensive equipment are lost by the time a piece has been mixed, mastered, and burnt onto CD. I'll take my guitarist's martin down to my room on saturday and do some samples with my cheap sh*t mics and cheap sh*t pre-amps etc. I'd be interested to hear an honest opinion of the "quality" of the sound.

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='241910' date='Jul 17 2008, 04:57 PM']In my experience MIA's tend to be better quality than MIM's. This is what I care about. To suggest that someone who agrees with that view is a snob is pretty f***ing stupid.[/quote] Some people agree with that view because of a snobbish attitude - it does happen else no-one would buy designer clothes. Some people agree with that view because they have played a lot of basses, and come to the same conclusion as you. Some people disagree with that view because they have played a lot of basses, and come to the opposite conclusion as you - I prefer mexican guitars to american (fender) but I don't like their basses at all. You wouldn't be overreacting would you?

I love small venues. I've played at quite a few venues without stages! The biggest stage was outdoor at a "festival" thingy in lichfield.

Good call ironside!

geek99 - what are your issues? My Zoom worked fine with cubase, but I already had it installed.

I like the sound of a pick. I wear a thumb pick and switch between fingers and pick, probably about 50/50 but I wouldn't really know. When I play the guitar, I play it like i'm using a pick, but it's actually the nail on my 1st finger.

You need an interface to get analogue audio into your PC. You already have a soundcard, so yeh you could use a DI box, but that would be a bit crap. A decent interface will be a lot cheaper and smaller than a big digital desk. You can normally get them with 2 mic pres built in, PCI or USB or firewire, and some extra analogue inputs etc. If you want the physical feel of a mixer, get a controller. Behringer do a cheap one. There's not much need for an actual mixer in studios these days (IMHO). I think with the yamaha thing you would end up using it to record one track at a time (especially if you're tracking drums elsewhere), and then once it's in cubase you will use the mixer in there and basically waste the yamaha. It's more appropriate for live sound and recording at the same time IMHO.

[quote name='BigBeefChief' post='241562' date='Jul 17 2008, 10:35 AM']I'm not really a boob man. Don't get me wrong, they have their place (hopefully closer to the chin than the knees), but I've never used big boobs as an excuse to shag a fat bird. More of a bum man personally. And a nice pair of pins.[/quote] Yeh, I love it when you get a really long, elegant, graceful pair of legs that look like they're constantly struggling to hold up a big flabby ass.

I think cubase is easy enough to learn if you are patient. I'm not sure about the hardware you've chosen. What are you going to be recording?

Charic - I totally agree. If you want to upload, press the browse button next to "attachment" when you are writing a reply to the thread.

You could tell her that you've sold the 6er, when i'm actually just keeping it safe for you

I want a picture of tBBC wearing nothing but the foot spa.

I find it funnier out of context.

Ahhhh, sorry. It's an interesting idea. Are you going to read sheet music and then use a tuner to make sure you're hitting the right notes? I'm no singer, but I would have thought it better to learn to do it by ear. Do singing tutors have tuners? As an experiment i'd be very interested in the results!

Yeh, both, your amp is for you, the PA is for the public!
