What equipment do u all own ?

Hey Dr.Simon!

About the 424
It's all good yo'! I figured you'd know I was bustin'em 'cause you've got a D1200 there; that does a LOT for a small machine! I'd rather see "home-recording-artists" investing in THOSE than software & computers, but, well... that's me.
Everyone's got their 'own-way' of doing it, as long as they're using some "Know-How", agree??

Those monitors aint' bad bro'. If you use something even decent, and it sounded good in the ROOM (like you mentioned) THAT makes the biggest dif'!
I worked in soooo many places for YEARS that used the ol' "NS10"s, and only HALF of the places they were in we're properly responsive to them. I dig the NS10m's even more, but I don't even like [those] anymore. I think these new alesis (like you have) sound good. They're in that same class & they're more adaptable than the NS10's too. (you ns10 users should switch) ;)
I don't like to mix on anything but EVENT's now. `Just my 'thing' I guess?? (not the 20/20's!! They're not real pro')

It's fun sharing peeks at our gear. I don't know if I'd nose-in telling you how to improve though? You seem like you know what you want & I can see you dig using software.
It took virtual arm-twisting to EVEN THINK of including home-recording options for myself! I was reluctant for a long time because of all my years of working in/for (& having access to) many studios.
Even now bro', I'm better off using 'hardware' when I do anything at home. I've got a FAST computer too (ALIENWARE), and at home I still prefer the hardware.
My MAIN "recording" rig at home is based around my Yamaha AW4416.

Lemme' tell ya'... AW4416 F*Q'N SWeeeeT!
It's a fr*k'n compact 02R! I love it. Totally automated, motorized faders, extensive patching layers, everything.


It's great for cats like me, because I'm more comfortable in the studio, & this brings some of it home when I can't be 'there'. SOME software does a good job though, but my work in music was 'spawned' in the hardware scene!

I'd rather HEAR what everyone's got! All you cats postin' your great guitars & nice amp rig's should ALSO include a link if we can hear your band or your record(s).
Wadda' ya' think??

NICE STUFF' EVERYONE! GOOD LUCK W/YOUR 'CHOPS DR_SIMON!

Well since I'm a new guitarist I don't have much but so far I have;

Art & Luither- steel string acoustic (not the best but it works for me).
Godin Artisan SE- It's a birds eye maple two tone sunburst hard body electric. I got it for a steal off e-bay. (I still want a SRV strat some day though)
Fender nylon string classical
Squire Series 24 S65- nothing special but it's a decent practice guitar.
Fender frontman 25R- basic 25 watt amp

i have some stuff up on guitar tricks under the name " carcass " but only one has audio to it and it sounds really bad cuz i recorded it a while back with a bad mic. I'm not in a band or anything but i have a bass player and another guitarist coming round this weekend so we might get some stuff to put up on guitar tricks :)

Yeah man, the 424 was a good starting place (post Revox A77) and the D1200 is sweet.

I totally agree about the all in one DAWs as a better place to start than the whole PC thing. It took me a while to iron out the PC bumps however after I got it all set up and sounding good it was well worth it. Took me about 6 hours to hammer out my latency problems! A lot of people bash the all in one DAWs however for portability and convenience they just cant be beet ! Triger recording.....wonderful for the home studio !

I started off in digital land with a D1600. that was OK but the interface was crap. I was good from the perspective of the honest musician as it often forced me do things until I got them in one take. Read into that what you will !!! The punch in / out was OK but occasionally would do unpredictable things.

So I decided that I wanted to be able view and edit multiple scrub tracks and SONAR seemed like the best way forward plus it had some very cool midi integration. So I swapped the D1600 for a D1200 and a focusrite Pre (well nearly....) and off we go !

Those Yamaha machines look really cool. I was tempted to go for one of the higher end Roland VSs or a DX32 or a Yammy but figured that as I don’t need a lot of simultaneous inputs the D1200 would do the job (the flyin’ fades are cool though !!!).

I figure that the rate limiting step with my kit is now me so now it is a question of logging the hours !

Me and the missus may be moving back to the UK in the next six months or so and who knows, maybe acoustics will feature on out list of must haves when sorting out a house (nice to dream!).

since in only playing guitar for a few years now, and my bank account aint that fat anymore Im just having a humble setup...

I own 5 guitars:
- Ibanez C-10 acoustic steel string (1986)
- Yahama spanish nylon strings (1999)

as far as the amplification goes:

Only marshall ofcourse :P
- Marshall Valvestate 2*85 watt K!X AsS!!!
a nice footswitch came w/ the amp :)


I just had 1 question about the Sunn Mustang guitar.
On the headstock it says Sunn Mustang... then in a smaller font Fender.
It's a black-white strat model...
My dad bought it when he was playing guitar.. he quit playing but I find it in our basement 2 years ago so I took it :)
It realy needed some work, the thing was total crap when I started to play on it. Now I finaly have a nice clean sound and it feels very solide :)

Just wondering is this a rel Fender or is it a By Fender or something? Does that make any difference in quality? I realy like the guitar for its small neck.
I can get a queensryche like sound out my marshall with it (clean) but distored it's accualy crap. Its good to play solos on but powerchords just dont sound quite right.

any1...? :)

As for getting your gear stolen: Some people have no idea what kind of emotional value a guitar can have. I cant imagine some1 stealing your guitar, and then taking it for his own to play. How can you ever bond to a guitar you nicked?

that 12-string takamine I listed in the "soon to have" list is now in the now have list. got it a week ago and love it. I also forgot to list an old 65? Gibson GA-5 amp and a pos 60's silvertone strat type guitar. the silvertone sounds god awfull, but I don't know about the GA-5 yet. something's wrong with it, and I haven't had time to take it to someone who know's what they're doing with old amps like that.

Isn't that a cardinal sin?

It's all listed in my Sig except I also have a 1994 black on black Samick Acoustic, a 50 watt Marshall 5210(for sale) and a Tama drum set (not for sale...lol).....

My stuff:

1991 Ibanez RG770 DXLB with DiMarzio Evolutions

Carvin X-60A 60 watt all-tube combo

Guitars I currently own:
1. samick LS 41- a stratocaster (HSH)imitation, which is my very first electric guitar.
2. lmtd. edition epiphone les paul es- epiphone's imitation of the gibson les paul florentine. In the US epiphones are cheap and people take that forgranted but everything in the US is twice as expensive here in Canada (because of the freaking taxes!) so epiphones are fairly expensive here- and i treat is as a Gibson! I did some upgrades to make it more versatile than a Gibson by replacing some stuff like the stop tail with tp- 6 tailpiece, the saddle with graptech FAAS Ghost system, the pots i replaced with 2 dual concentric pots (ton/volume, tone/volume), and in place of the two tones i placed the volume pot for piezo and for the midi, the stock pickups i replaced with a gibson 57 and 57 plus, and for security I added schaller lock straps.
3. Ibanez sound gear bass (my first bass)
4. Epiphone viola bass
5. Takamine 12 string electric acoustic
6. Takamine 6 string electric acoustic

2. Fender Princeton
3. Vox Valvetronix
4. Vox Brian May "Deacy Amp"
5. Fender Acoustasonic Junior
6. JCM 2000 Marshall Amp

Fender Fat Strat
LTD MH-50

dod grunge pedal
zoom 707 multi pedal
cry baby wah pedal

Peavey Envoy 110.

lol @ eggman


yeah it is but don't have a band so the need for a big amp is not there. Let's just say I got other bills to pay first :)
