Hi all,
As I’ve mentioned in the seeder I just posted with my demo in it, years ago, in the 1980s, I made tons demos of original songs on a Tascam four-track cassette player for my little college rock group. When I went to work fulltime in 1989, I gradually cut back playing and recording, and then stopped. Over the past year, I’ve very slowly began to (a) get whatever few guitar chops I’ve had back, and (b) learn how to record on a PC. While I love the power that recording on a computer gives me, it’s been a treacherously steep and slow learning curve. I started to learn Sonar last year, and basically gave up when a flurry of work kept me too busy to try and concentrate on it. It’s only been in the past three or four months that slowly but surely, the basics of how it works have begun to make sense. (I’m dense, what can I tell you?)
So, having just posted a recording I made on my PC, I was wondering if anybody else records in this section. If so, what equipment do you use? Four track casette? Reel-to-reel? PC?
If it's the latter, what software?
Is your goal to write pop or rock songs, instrumentals, perfect your chops, or just hear yourself noodling around?
How do you record your guitar?
How do you find that recording differs from live playing?
