I'm Your Captain / Closer to Home . Cover by The Dirty Mustangs

Now, i totally love recording guitar and trying out new licks.

It seems the problem was i overcomplicated it a little.
                So first, i tried out Guitar Rig software. Great stuff if you can figure it out.
Quickly decided i needed to do something different. Recording on PC means you need an easy way
to plug your guitar in. But a Hi impedance guitar to a mic or line in? UGGh. No good.
            First things first, you have to have a stereo 3.5mm to 3.5mm stereo cable, and a cheap multi effects unit, like a Digitech RP90, RP200, Zoom505, etc. with a headphone out jack on the back.
                 I happen to have a Multi effects pedal with a microphone out, and figured i could turn down the volume on the pedal to make up for the extra signal. Yeah, it works. Just make sure you test out a few times to get the highest level without the distortion. Mine is down to 45 (max 100).
                After that, i tried out the free software called Audacity. A multitrack record/mix program that i have always used to mix my bands tracks at home.
               The coolest part was that the output from the Digitech RP90 (or 200, or whatever you got), was stereo. So Audacity records it in stereo! The separation is great, and the tools from Audacity make it real easy to make it sound good. Give this a try. It is definitely fun.

Update;   Using Audacity for some stuff. But adjusting effects and eq while listening to it? That's a good job for Reaper.  Awesome software.

New horse in the stable

 

Started cleaning, but is gonna take a while. Trying to find a way to keep most of what is here. Gonna lower it, gut the seat while keeping backrest and pan, looking for 7/8 handlebars now.

          Current Projects, Daily Crap, Future Crap. Pieces of projects....aka crap.                                                                                                                                                                                                                       May be a little slow at first. Still gettin used to posting. Got lots to do, so hopefully i will get some of it   
 posted where someone else may find it useful. Gives me a good place to record where i got parts from, or what processes i used to get something done.
          Let's see what happens.
