As of this morning I have my Home Recording Gear ordered. I have just over $230 invested. I will be able to record my guitar playing 2 different ways, as well as add bass, drums, etc. with the software.

Here is a list of the recording gear/software I will have.

Behringer Guitar Link UCG102 with this software: Native Instruments Guitar Combo (I, II, III), Audacity, Kristal.

MXL Mic Mate

GLS Audio ES-57 mic and cable.

Sony Acid Music Studio


And related, but not. I doubled the amount of Memory for my computer. I didn't include this in my total.

After my vacation (which starts next week) I'll start experimenting with recording.

Stay Tuned!


It does look like you're off to a good start. I used ACID Music Studio before I upgraded. It really served me well. ACID Pro has a much steeper learning curve and sometimes I'm tempted to go back to AMS because of the ease of use. You be able to post your tracks on ACIDplanet, too.

I do some personal recordings and stuff, but what I do is very heavy and somewhat eclectic. I don't figure too many people have my wierd taste in music.

If you like, you can hear some of it on my myspace page:

I usually have a pretty good idea of what I want to do before I start, so I go to Acid and glue the drum tracks together. I have quite a library of loops from Betamonkey, and what I don't already have, I can create for the job.

Once I have the drum tracks all rendered out to a single stereo track, I import into either n-Track or Protools. I add a throw track of guitar, just so I can get a feel for what I want the bass to do. Then I record the bass, and go back and layer the guitars, etc. over the top.

Unless I'm recording several tracks at once, everything goes through the Focusrite preamp, just because it sounds awesome! The other preamps go through the compressor/limiter and then into the 1010 when I'm doing stuff like recording a drum kit. Unfortunately, I only have seven preamp channels, so I'm limited to recording seven analog tracks at once.

For bass tracks, I'll either go direct into the Focusrite or mic with my D3600, then go to the Focusrite.

I use either a 57 or E609 on the guitars, then they all go through the Focusrite. I've found what really works for me using the 57, so I don't really need to get too fancy.

Vocals usually get the Baby Bottle into the Focusrite.

I do all of my waveform editing with Audacity. It's fantastic, it's free and it just plain works!

Lastly, everything gets mastered with Ozone.


Focusrite, Aphex gear and a boat load of mics - you're not messing around. I see you have ProTools and ACID. What do you use ACID for? (I assume ProTools is your primary recording software.)

I'm definitely not as serious as some guys I know, but I like to have decent gear available. I have a few friends that make my setup look like Playskool.

I use Acid primarily to create drum loops.
