[Meriphew]

What instrument do you have the most fun recording? I tend to enjoy recording elect. guitar the most followed closely by vocals.

I love to record drums, i dont get to do it that often, most times i record my self, so it kinda sucks going back and forth, but when i am able to record other people. its fun...

i really like recording vocals for a joke band i do alot of work with. They tend to do weird stuff using guitar stompboxes for vocal effects over looped drums with live guitar and no bass. mostly its improv too...so its has a really cool feel to it..

I like to record them all!!

I think we're all a sucker for drums because there's so many elements in a drum kit and such a wide range of frequencies.

Probably percussion, i enjoy anything acoustic really, though i generally find recording guitars boring, to be honest (flame suit on) i find 98% of things i ever hear played on a guitar quite boring, i think i'm just burnt out on guitars.

If i can include non-instruments then it's definately found sounds, i'm always smiling when i'm doing that. Last night i recorded two guys having a heated debate downstairs in the hall, we live on the third floor and there's a concrete and tile stairwell between them and us that i record in a fair bit, you couldn't really hear the words due to the amount of reverb, just that they were talking in a slightly aggressive manner. I recorded them through my letter box, eleven and a half minutes of good good stuff that'll form the basis of something i'm sure.

Synths. I love to run them through my endless chain of signal-path-twisting junk. And my kids running around upstairs never makes it onto the recording.

If I had a real room that was quiet, I would say acoustic guitar.

Figured it was one of yours but i didn't remember that one, are their audio samples on your site Ube?

Ube..heh..that sounds funny.

Piano! Especially for live gigs, since I don't record that much. It's such a challenge to get a piano nice and loud without feedback, and with a natural sound.
