Jacksons are probably my favourite guitar... so I think you’ve got good taste! Is the Performer one of those 90s made in Japans? Those are pretty fucking quality. Honestly sounds and looks like you’ve got some great guitars, pal. So C standard is the Entombed tuning? Good to know. I’ve always wanted to learn a shitload of songs off Left Hand Path... especially Revel in Flesh Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always wanted to learn a shitload of songs off Left Hand Path... especially Revel in Flesh Oh snap! mine too (if you couldn't guess ) ...yeah, that's the one, i've had it since about 94 so it's a bit banged up but still working fine, you are not wrong about the quality ..yeah early Entombed played in C standard, i like the left hand path album but Clandestine is my favorite and i play all the songs off that mainly, that sound is just so brutal and you can get it for £21 here with a Behringer pedal https://www.amazon.co.uk/behringer-HM300-Behringer-HM-300-Heavy/dp/B001383XS4/ref=asc_df_B001383XS4/?tag=googshopuk-21&linkCode=df0&hvadid=310786528304&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=6630010252973069498&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9041112&hvtargid=pla-406644750855&psc=1&th=1&psc=1 Just tune your guitar to C standard and set all the dials to max on the pedal and the gates of hell will open before you 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm willing to spend quite a bit on this. I got recommended a certain Audio Interface and a condensed microphone. My worries come from my heater and air conditioning. Any ideas if this will be affected? That all depends on the interface and more importantly the microphone. Not sure if a condenser mic will shut out ambient sounds completely. But, there are ways depending on the interface and other factors as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted January 27, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted January 27, 2021 I've only heard very good things about Audient and how they manage the sound. I think with that kind of setup its just a matter now of learning to use a DAW and you're set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's open but there are simply too many cases here at the moment and I don't want to put me or my family at risk. So I figured I may as well make a long term investment and make a home studio. I found a room in my house that cuts most of the AC and heater noise, so that's probably where I will record. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did it come with a DAW? Are you on Mac or PC? If you’ve got a Mac, the industry standard is Logic. Expensive, but good to learn how to use if you are serious about it. On PC, I like Reaper. It’s got a “free trial” period that you can basically keep using forever - but it’s good to pay for good affordable software to keep it accessible, and a license is pretty cheap for how good it is. Both have fairly steep learning curves imo, but it’s better to work with the more advanced and functional software than the easier stuff like Audacity. I am totally shit at recording - so @Mel81x can probably give you better info than I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mpache 672 Posted January 28, 2021 Share Posted January 28, 2021 Fuck sake, Amazon told me the Interface would arrive on Friday latest, with prime and everything, and they changed it now to 5th-14th of February. What a fucking slap to the face. I was looking forward to record soon, but now I have to unexpectedly wait. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only issue with it comes around when you start to want to pad things and do all the rest of those funky Db things that other mics do. But for the price and in its range its very very good. It was a toss up between thing and the AT for me and I chose the AT because the goal was to get a Shure long-term which I now have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't, the room just happens to be soundproof in my basement, so it doesn't get the air conditioning/heater. Only problem is it doesn't have a door, so I might have to put some blankets over the entrance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber Mel81x+ 3,613 Posted February 1, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted February 1, 2021 So the Mandolin arrived on Sunday and I spent about 4 hours just trying to figure out how to play it and more importantly how to set it up. After hours of trying I couldn't get it to sound right so I took it to the store this morning and the guy there tells me the bridge (the most important thing on this instrument) has a problem where the strings wont sit right. He then gives me a choice on whether to return it or he can fix it. I figure its a cheap investment but I want to return it as he showed me a very nice Sire Bass in the store an I think adding a bit more funds and getting that has better long-term implications for my music.
