Blues_Dev Blues_Dev Forum Council Member Professional Forumite! Registered: 20/01/10 Posts: 166	Ive been searching the web about recording etc for a while now, my only issue was spending money on it. I was sure you can start of recording and having fun for less than £10. So tonight I went to a well know supermarket and bought a £5.99 desktop mic. Dowlaoded the free audigy software and started recording. Bear in mind this is my first attempt, comments welcome http://www.megaupload.com/?d=V6KSWN21 Edited by Blues_Dev (23/02/10 04:56 PM)

If you search I believe there are also free amp and pedal software models out there. I went the cheapish route of an AI and Reaper software (little under £40). Very impressed. _________________________ Guitars: Cort Earth Grand, Cort G250 RMS, Kimbara Strat Copy, Vester Strat Copy (Stage Series), Custom Build LP Style (By Steve Benford), 'Podcaster' Custom Build prize!

I play it back using a drum SoundFont, and capture the output as an audio track. This works for me, but there are many other possibilities. For instance if you fancy yourself as a drummer you can buy a set of pads and a drum synth. (Recording a real drumkit is a serious exercise in multiple mic placement, acoustics and mixing.) At the other extreme, just record the output of a cheapo drum machine! Dave

The only reason I got myself an M-Audio was the ability to have two working channels (guitar/mic) open at the same time. _________________________ Guitars: Cort Earth Grand, Cort G250 RMS, Kimbara Strat Copy, Vester Strat Copy (Stage Series), Custom Build LP Style (By Steve Benford), 'Podcaster' Custom Build prize!

Registered: 20/01/10 Posts: 166	Hmm, all my amps are over 15 years old appart from my new fender Champ which you struggle to find anything more than a volume control and input, so no USB there Im affraid. Having meesed around with the new forum jam III and recording through microphone I am leaning towards getting decend dynamic mic, my only worry about that is it cant really be done quietly.
