save your money, buy some gear, record your friends.

i'm on tour for most of the year but i'm going to be home for a month relatively soon. I have a small home studio set up running nuendo with a firepod and a few sytek pres and other stuff....I want to do some spacy instrumental indie rock stuff and i'm looking for a collaborator also with their own ...

So i'm thinking about trying to build one of the 7th Circle preamps, I have next to no knowledge of electronics or soldering so I guess what i'm asking is what I should try and learn before I give this a shot, any references to books or electronics related webstuff would be great, thanks dudes.

take 100 for the fathead?

find the awesomest drummer from your area and pay him!

I use the vintage warmer on everything, I also highly reccomend the API plug ins, easily the cleanest and quietest eq's i've ever used.

i'm so into this especially in a smoking studio environment someone set an official date please!!!

I have a D15, when I bought it I played about 10 different ones and I bought the one that spoke to me the most, while I love playing it, it records like total shit and now I wish I had bought a 000 or spent a little more and got an OM series smaller body, I would never outright suggest any one brand...

the last 2.....

1.Fathead/Sytek Channel one 2.Sputnik/Sytek Channel one 3.Fathead/Burr Brown 4.Sputnik/Burr Brown 5.Fathead/Firepod 6.Sputnik/Firepod here is the list of the sounds in order for those of yo ho didn't catch it before, And yeah, my room is a little weird, its definetly really cool for just sitting and...

My favorite so far is the M-audio into the burr brown but I haven't even started playing with combining them yet or using any of my other mics, i'm just really trying to get a true understanding of all the charachteristics of the stuff I have so I can use it in the best ways.

here is the order of the sounds:

1.Fathead/Sytek Channel one
2.Sputnik/Sytek Channel one
3.Fathead/Burr Brown
4.Sputnik/Burr Brown
5.Fathead/Firepod
6.Sputnik/Firepod

placement for the mic on all tracks was essentially the same, faced at the 12 fret angled very slightly towards the soundhole.

I bought an epiphone paul standard, I like it it cost $400, I had it set up, put on the gibson style tuners and dropped a seymour duncan in it, cost me a little time and about $200.....my best friend has a LP custom he paid a ltta dough for, we used them both in the studio when his band recorded, mi...

that would be the Sputnik into the Sytek regular channel.
