photography, arsenal, music, tits and friends are what make brazilianGOONER breathe

I've been recording alot recently too. All instrumental stuff. Have Adobe Audition 3 and Cubase. I also am running everything through Guitar Rig 4 and it kicks ass.

really mate? do you record the bass with it as well? how does it sound?

since i sold my JCM i never got really good guitar sounds, right now i'm using sometimes my behringer v-amp and sometimes i borrow a mate's line6 POD which is a bit better.

however neither sound anywhere near the real deal imo...

what do you use for drums? i've been using easydrummer with a few extra drumkits and i'm quite delighted with the result

Yep, there are quite good bass sounds on there too.

I've experimented alot with mic and amp settings too. Had a Marshall mosfet reverb 100w (my old gigging amp) open mic'd but it was too fucking loud for home recording. Sold it (gigging days are over) and bought a Crate 20. I run my GTR into a pre amp and then into Guitar Rig 4 on my PC and then run it out to the Crate amp. Great sounds.

For drums I've been messing about with a Dr Rhythm drum machine. It's ok but not a patch on live drums. Although I do like being able to write my own drum patterns.

Your Guitar sound is dictated alot by your pick-ups too, BG. If your pick-ups are shit then no matter what you run it will sound poor.

I highly recommend GR4 though. The range of tones and sounds is immense and you can set up your own amp/head combos and FX really quickly and easily (drag and drop).

Mr Kelly on banjo

Actually a great piece of music. Most of it played on only two strings. One of the few pieces I can play on my old Tanglewood acoustic. I left it too late to be any good at it. But it's nice to be able to knock out a tune of any sort. Whether you're good or not. Everyone should have a bash at it.

not many things on earth (other than an arsenal goal) cheer me more than a good old rogering up my bum

KingJayson Alert!!!!!!

i don't really know what 'rogering up' really stands for but it sounds like something i wouldn't really like to do with my bum, thank you mate

this is the most inspiring solo acoustic guitar song i've ever listened to. gives me goosebumps everytime i hear it. absolutely genius (i must say i know little of the band though)

listen till the end, it's worth it.

You guys seem to know loads about all the gadgetry etc,,,,

I'm a something of a technophobe & not too up on all the technical stuff...there's just so much out there...But could you recommend a decent pick-up for my acoustic?...also I recently inherited a Roland Boss GT-10 Fx unit (a mate owed me money and so gave me that in part-payment)...it's in excellent nick - still in box - no marks/scratches etc...all I have to do is figure out how to use the fecker...it seems designed more for electric / heavy guitar (fx)...but i was hoping to be able to use it with my Avalon 6 string...it has Loop/Phlanger/Delay etc

With pick-ups it really depends what you want to spend and how good a sound you want. There are loads on the market. Best bet is to ask in a good guitar shop (most will give you sound advise as they are usually musicians themselves).

The Boss FX unit will have loads of good sounds for an acoustic. I have the BOSS ME8 at home (don't use it since I got GR4) and it has beautiful Chorus, Phase, Flange and Delay on it.

Best thing is to just plug in and experiment.

Awesome BG ..........players/musicians like that seem to be 'One With their Instrument'...a bit like this guy Andy McKee

or Michael Hedges (sadly R.I.P)
