Well, I finally started setting up a home recording studio. I've always done really poor quality recordings in the past, but now I can start doing better quality stuff. I built a computer just for recording. In this clip I am playing my Ibanez rg320qmdx into my v-amp 2, straight into my m-audio audiophile 192 sound card. Eventually I'll buy a nice instrument mic to mic up my 5150, but for now, I am really enjoying recording with my v-amp 2.

I messed up a bit in places but I was really just messing around.
Man, I really like this. That is one impressive recording setup. I think it's pretty good for just messing around.

Keep up the good work.
Maybe you've gotten a lot better than I remember, but that was REALLY good. I remember your other stuff was great, but you really have fast fingers. I dabble with instruments and I'm nothing to that scale.

Sounds like the studio is working good. Good luck with it.
That was fun to listen to, don't be shy on giving us updates! =P
Thanks for the feedback guys. I'm going to make this into a complete song. I'll post the finished version when I have it. I can't record vocals yet, so it will have to be an instrumental.
Yesterday I recorded the rhythm track and set up the song structure. I planned to record the lead today, but I broke a string and the nearest place I can pick up strings is wal*mart, which happens to be a couple towns away! Ugh, rural Michigan...

Instead of recording the lead today, I laid out the drum track. There are still a few rough spots in the rhythm guitar that I have to workout yet, but this is basically the finished product without the lead. Also, if you can't tell, I've upped the tempo quite a bit.

Sounds pretty cool. Got any photos of your setup?

Recorded the lead guitar today. There are a few rough spots in the song yet. Tomorrow I'll try to work those all out. Also, I want to add another verse yet. I don't think I mentioned this yet, but there will be vocals to it eventually. I decided this would be a perfect song to do with my band. I probably won't be able to record the lyrics for a while yet. I'll post the lyrics when I write them though.

As for pictures of my setup, do want to see pictures of my guitar/amp or the computer I used to record the song? I posted pictures of my amp here a while ago, but since then I bought a G-Major effects unit and Behringer fcb1010 pedal board. In the recording, I'm actually just using an amp simulator called the v-amp.
