Are you insinuating that having lots of gear is flashy? You seem like a humble guy from your other posts through out the forum, but that comment sounded a bit haterish... Your set-up is cool. I have the same set-up minus the tascam tape recorder and the exact brand of mixer (i have a gemini). I could only hope to get gear like these guys so that I can take my beats from my head to a mastered format. Would you recommend staying where I'm at. I make hip hop instrumentals. I wouldn't mind working with an MC. I sample sounds off records, make sequences and arrange all the different sequences in song mode to compliment each other. I just feel that incorporating internal sound modules and computer multitrack recording may be a good move to make in order to build on my love for this and go the professional route. You tell me. I'm curious to hear your insight.


No what I meant by that statement [I'm late on this reply, from taking a break from this board] was that I've seen pictures, not just on here, but other places of full on studios just in peoples houses with gear everywhere that to me seems useless when I can make the exact same thing with only a few pieces of equipment.
I'm not being a hater, or knocking anyones approach to making music. I just don't have the money to buy high end equipment, and don't know enough about it to get that far into it. So I just stay simple.
I think where audio recording/production is going and has been going is great. upgrade to whatever you want. Use a computer, filters, whatever. I'm not knocking anyone who has a bunch of gear, I just like to use what I have, and sometimes you're more creative if you're limited to what you use.
Hope that cleared that up.

I'm glad Roland got it right and put the pads on the left.


Yah, it's a tight squeeze. I didn't want it right in front of my window even though I cover everything up when I'm not using it.

how do you like that Pod 6?

I only use the Pod for guitar and bass, I haven't tried running the table or anything else through it, for effects I just use plugins. It's allright for some guitar parts but the distortions are kind of fake sounding.[/quote]

On bass the Pod is pretty cool, with some tweaking I made some cool thick bass sounds come out, changing the knobs on my bass and messing with the amp settings on the pod you can change the whole tone to sound like a completly different bass from gritty with a little distortion to the cleanest tightest bass sound. It's a cool little effect to have but I haven't checked many other effect boxes out to compare it to. I know Line6 makes a special Bass Pod but I haven't tried that out either.

Thanks Juke, yeah that's the old realistic mixer, my brother gave it to me around 6 years back, it's been to many party's in the early and mid 90's but everything still works perfect, meters and all, no bleeding. As for the location, I live in the southwest suburbs, J-town to be exact.

You have got to stop spending money on gear and buy some decent furniture. It must be murder trying to play the MicroKORG on a milk crate.
