Play with others. I agree, but assembling a few semi reliable cronies into some kind of informal rehearsal routine is frustrating and a job in itself. I have had bands here and there over the years that fall apart. I have some people in town I’ve entertained the idea with, but they also have unreli...

I don’t know if you’ve evaluated just how loud it’s going to get yet, I would probably start there. There’s definitely different ways to approach this, depending on what you’re planning on doing. I’m not clear if you’re planning on a band (seems like kind of a small space for that?) or live drums or...

Do you know basic harmonic theory? Circle of 5ths? Stacking intervals for the various major, minor, dim, aug, 7th chords etc? I think that stuff does more for the creative process than any dude having you run finger exercises will bring. But that's also my musical bias. I “know” most of that but ha...

Where do you go when you want to be a better player? Any youtubers worth checking out? Paid sites? I'm not really interested in million note per second music, but objectively feel like a mediocre guitar player like me could stand to be better when I use it as a writing tool as much as I do. I'm at t...

I don’t know what daw you’re using nor have I tried it but if you have “elastic audio” or the equivalent turned on and then made constant tempo automation that it could follow I think that work work?

Aww man I’ve done some live shows to Tascam 388, turned out way cool. As it happens, this actually can be more reliable than doing a hard disk recording sometimes, because you’re not subject to vibrations and computer glitches. Sweet. I 388 in a club. You must have really been the envy of all the b...

Live recordings are a unique experience, I'd hate to add old intermittent tube mics and tape deck to it. Those cats were much braver than I! Aww man I’ve done some live shows to Tascam 388, turned out way cool. As it happens, this actually can be more reliable than doing a hard disk recording somet...

Traded off a mim strat I didn’t ever bond with for...a couple guitars that weren’t really on my radar but may be closer to my thing...or maybe just good trade material later. A brushed aluminum LTD Page Hamilton sig and a PRS SE Custom 22.

This is how I end up with too many guitars.

For di bass guitar shaping you might prefer something more like an amp and/or speaker cab modeler plug-in. +1. I record DI bass and usually what I'm wanting from it in the mix is more mid/high definition. Drastic eq can sort of work but I find just putting it through an "amp" works a lot better. I ...

I don’t know that any of these are used primarily as bass guitar plugins, more like ways to make your bass work better on different speaker systems...especially if your bass line is a synth/sub/808 that may disappear completely on bass deficient speakers. Perhaps in certain circumstances you might u...

at that pricepoint, i'd be dubious. for that kinda $$, i'd say you're better off getting a tiny terror - those things are great for the studio. simple controls on them is a big plus, too. quite a bit pricier, but you can get a Fryette (or Fryette era VHT) for dirt cheap, considering what they deliv...

No tubes included?

I agree with the x32 or similar digital mixer solution...there’s a reason these are so popular...lot of bang for buck/full solution versus just buying compressors per channel/etc and very practical way to do things. It also means that you can find used low end dynamics for cheap if you must go that ...

Anyone been brave enough to order from them?

You first

Not a recommendation exactly as I’ve never used one, but guitar fetish sells some cheap active effects and preamps designed for guitar mounting:
