Guitar & Musician Forums

I am using Reaper as my DAW, I find it much easier then cubase 5 and it appears to do a bit more then mixcraft.

I then use A line 6 ux 2 (complete with VU meters), as a sound card\audio interface. Then I have Line 6 pod farm 2. Which give me some guitar amp effect options as well as vocal.

Also I have the peavy vypyr amp, which is also a audio interface. One of the interesting things I have found is I can set the vypyr up on a nice vox setting, and put effects on it in pod farm.

For vocal, tambourine, shakers, I have a peavy i2 mic.

I am currently using cubase LE - I have never really used anything else though I might give something else a try!

I am currently using a tascam USB audio interface and I am currently trying out whether I should mic up my amp or use a plugin. I have tried various, Revalver is the one I did like to use but I am starrting to dislike the sound.

I have a shure sm-57 for micing the amps and I have some condenser mic (I forget the name) for vocals and acoustic guitar.

I have just purcahsed the Pod HD500 which also acts as an audio interface (apparetely) so I will see how that compares to the current plugins I use.

Despite having a lot of this set up for well over a year, I am still very new to recording haveoing only ever really recorded snippets of sounds before.

May I ask for a review section to be set up in the forum. I think this may get people intrested in joining and making a contribution.

I would like to here you review the HD500.

We could have Guitar review which I have done.
Amp Review
Effects review
General gear review

Its just a thought.

Hi James

Yes this is a good idea and I have done this. I also moved your post and renamed it to fit within the category.This way we can have a thread per review.

I use the new Audacity beta with a $2 skype mic, thats it

Wow you get some good sound though that mic.
