Just Strum Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 If you get one, I suggest new picks, the normal ones just don't seem to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jcwillow777 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I got some software so I can (finally) get around to dropping my vinyl collection down to digital. Went through The Crusaders first. Man' date=' Larry Carlton kicks A$$! So far, I've copied" First Crusade 2nd Crusade Those Southern Knights Chain Reaction I knew there were reasons I loved the late 60's and early 70's. These funny flat pieces of mystery vinyl in a colloidal suspension sound great, and if you record in .WAV at the highest possible setting, the CD's still have that old-time record sound and feel (even a couple pops and a little hiss that I left in for verisimilitude. [/quote'] What did you get? I need to do the same to some tapes, and then maybe I'll get up the ambition to do some vinyl too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Found one on Amazon.com for $49.95 because it was "repackaged". The disk and instructions were there, why would I possibly care about an original piece of shrinkwrap that would cost another $50??? BTW, its still a pain in the a$$. You can let the machine do whatever, and get MP3 quality, or figure out how to do it yourself, in several steps, and get a decent recording. You know you got it right when Windows Media Player recognizes the LP and finds all the song and title info without manual intervention! It also takes a LOT of time. No high-speed dubbing, you have to play and record in real time, then put in track separators, input the title, artist and track info, then print the CD (and label). If you record as single track, the search software can't identify an LP, and then you have to scan the LP cover (and maybe liner notes), so it can also take a bunch of storage if, like me, you keep all digitally.

Lend27 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 how much i wanted the jamvox..just couldn't...ill get it after i find a new job.. Hi guys! So far, the Jamvox is awesome Software installed easily, hardware was even easier. Just plug in to a USB port. Nice interface. Easy to set up the varioous effects pedals, and easy to experiment. The sounds are good, and the monitor sounds surprisingly full. But keep in mind it only has 2 - 3" speakers. It will not replace playing through an amplifiier, but it does well for it's intended purpose. You can import your iTunes songs and the patented GTX software removes the lead or rhythm guitar and puts you in the mix. It works well on some songs, not so well on others. It depends on where the engineer put the guitar track. If he isolated it, it will work well. If the guitars are spread over all the tracks, it doesn't do so well. But again, it does a great job at it's intended purpose, which is a great practice tool, nice sounds, and the ability to experiment endlessly and easily with a variety of effects.

pohatu771 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 As far as music equpiment goes, I was limited to a Fender vintage-style strap (1/2" leather with a shoulder pad), a Martin headstock button, a Martin pickup, and the Orbit pick (I think it's called). I haven't used any of them yet. Also, a Guitar Center gift card. This weekend I may be buying myself a Gibson Spirit, which has been almost completely transformed into a DC Les Paul Special. We'll have to see what condition it's in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 My present.... the glorious ebow! I'm also waiting on a Roland RE 20 Space Echo pedal and a turbo RAT. For now, at least I can practise my ebow technique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiggy Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Beans, in your avatar I can see e2 headrush. Are you using it as delay or having fun with looping? (maybe both) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beans Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Well observed twiggy, I use it for both, a very cool pedal indeed. I love how it has an output for each "tape head", mixed with a space echo, I think I might be able to wake the dead. Or at least the neighbours......

actuweenie Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Mine was my first ever electric guitar (after 47 years) a Epi Casino (bog standard in natural) from my wife with a Fender 15G amp from my daughter. Purchased in Calgary on the condition that it fit in our Nissan Versa with the family baggage and lots of Christmas shopping - a challenge I was up to!

Nic Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 Yesterday I ordered this: link Can't wait to try all my Epi's with it! I had one of those 32 Palomino amps. It had a great tone, you'll love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FrankS1281734010 Posted December 27, 2008 Share Posted December 27, 2008 I finally got a start on my home recording studio. I was given a package that came with an interface, Cubase software, and a condenser mic/cable and desk stand (which is pretty much useless for me) not a bad start, I don't think.
