Line 6 Pod for electric guitars and bass.
Peavy Mixer

Sound Forge to manipulate the piano in track 4

Recorded with shitty version of cubase that came free with my soundcard that won't let me load VST plugins other than the extremely crappy ones that came with it.
Old McDonald
Fade to Spack (cover of Metallica's "Fade to Black")

Oh yeah, if anyone has a Line 6 POD, and wouldn't mind posting something with a stereotypical distorted rock/metal guitar tone, so I can hear what kind of sound you can get out of it, that would be groovay.

I'm considering getting one, since a good amp, microphone, and recording interface isn't very feasible for me right now.

I'll bring mine in to work and you could try it out at lunch time or something if you like?

You get some good VST plugins, that you can get some amazing guitar tones out of! Ampiltube 2 and Guitar Rig 2 are all over the net to download but of course I dont believe in downloading illegal software

Yeah that sounds cool, always better to get a chance to hear something properly

Yeah, I need to get a DAW that will actually let me use VST plug-ins though. Steinberg don't do themselves any favours making Cubasis so shit, it's not a very good advert for Cubase.

I'm trying out SONAR right now, which seems to be quite powerful, but the learning curve for some aspects of it seem to be much steeper than they should be. It doesn't help that they bombard you with toolbar buttons and menus. I shouldn't have to look in the help file, or mouse over every single fucking button just to change the metronome settings.

What's the standard way to work when you're recording guitars and have one of those cab simulators available. Do you just record your guitar clean and apply any effects you want in your DAW?

All that said, at the moment, there's not much point in me getting any of these plug-ins, as I'm recording through a shitty gaming headset microphone at the moment. Garbage in, garbage out, and all that.

All the tunes at www.myspace.com/serotoninmetal are demos done at mine. I'll post my specs if anyone wants me to.
