School me on recording

Post by hammered » Sun Nov 23, 2008 11:37 pm

After a good few years of playing guitar I`ve only recorded myself through a cheap tape recorder. Can anyone give me adivce on a little setup that would produce some decent sounding clips and not empty my wallet. I`m assuming for starters I`d need a somethimg like a tascam recorder and a mic. Thanks in advance.

This is a relatively inexpensive way to get GREAT recordings IMO... Then all you need to do is experiment with Mic placement!!

If you need it cheap with video and state-of-the-art patent pending sound compression check out Flip Video
I did a vid myself and sounds good !
Check this out with a Gibson '57 BlackBird LP and a 18 wt. Suhr Badger loaded with a Celestion Gold.
