Pantera and Static-X

Pantera RULES!!

What's the best way of recording yourself playing guitar (onto your computer) using minimal stuff (for lack of a better word)? I mean, how do you record yourself without going out and buying $184051265 equipment?

Thanks guys

If you're looking for minimal equipment and cost, the best thing you can do is pick up the cable that murray_TH posted.

That cable will take a guitar's mono signal and convert it to a stereo signal. It's the cheapest and fastest way to record your guitar through your computer, although I really wouldn't recommend it for anything more than quickly recording a riff or two so that you don't forget them.

For not too much money you can by a USB audio interface. Most basic interfaces will offer better conversion rates, thus resulting in better sound quality, than your stock PC soundcard. Plus, the ASIO drivers will give you less latency (delay from when you play the notes to when you heard them through your speakers or headphones) than Microsoft's Direct Sound drivers. If you want to record actual songs, I would suggest getting an interface.

Brilliant, thanks for the great advice. I'll definately check this stuff out

Nice man.

Good work and keep it up. It'd be awesome if you posted some more of this kind of stuff.

Ha you noticed...

Dunno...been on school holidays and I've been really busy as of late so i haven't had time to go on the forum much.

Same as MSN Messenger and all that kind of stuff.

How do you find out when they do the sound check before the concert?

I remember toffeegirl posting her pics after going to a VR gig last year and standing in a crowd as the VR guys went into the building.

Thanks.

got my tickets to Melbourne show too...cant fn wait.

Thankyou frontiertouring.com.au and the most important thing..... the password.

Yep

Same here. Can't wait for it!

There will probably be a standing area with mosh pits and that kinda shit in the middle.

Then all around the sides and at the back there'll be seats. Just like any other concert I guess.

Fellow Melbournians of the forum (if there are any)...our time has come.

Velvet Revolver will be playing at Vodafone Arena on the 27th of February, 2005. Tickets go on sale on the 17th of December.

I, for one, will most DEFINATELY be there.

I'm finally going to see my idols (especially the one and only SLASH). I'm going to see the guys I've seen on DVD and video so many times. I'm freakin' over the moon!

You lucky bastard. I wanna fly to Atlanta now.

And then to Chicago. *Cough*

well, hasan needs to tune his guitar first before he starts playing it

it sounds aweful!

Hahahahaha!

This is obviously going to be biased towards Axl, so I'm going with Freddie.

He really does have the best voice in rock. His range is huge, and so is the power of his voice. He sang operas with professional opera singers and held his ground with them, so this has to say something.

That classic sounding shit that he does is a copy of Deep Purple's Ritchie Blackmore.

Yeah but Blackmore was one of his biggest influences.

So thats the reason.

I've been listening to Yngwie's stuff, and I must say, he is fucking awesome.

I've got a classical background because of piano, and when I saw the electric guitar fused with a neo-classical sound that he made famous, I almost orgasmed.

Most of his playing is really just "shredding" where he plays at the speed of light, which means that he leaves out slower and deeper songs. This can get repetitive after a while, and a lot of people tend to brand him as just "wanking" on the guitar but he's still awesome.

Check him out if you're into Eddie Van Halen style licks and passages, but expect that classical edge which I personally really love.

P.S. And cool pink cat!!

Or....cool pink pussy

Hotel California hands down!

One of the best solos ever, great melody and lyrics as well. It's the one that made them real superstars.

God do we have to go through this again!?

Buckethead is a fuck-up....a comlete failure. He wears a KFC bucket on his head!! Does no one but me see this?? You just CAN'T take someone seriously as a musician if they dress like that.

He has no fucking good albums!! You get that dipshit. BUCKETHEAD LOVES THE COCK.

Whens the 3rd announcement?

Not at all really.

You'll find country music to be popular in rural areas (obviously) but no one listens to it in Melbourne really.

Not that I know of anyway.

Luiz for mod!!

Hahahaha great call.

I've heard about Faith No More, but I haven't heard any of their stuff.

Are they good? Could anyone recommend their best album/set of songs?

Thanks.

Why are so many bands fucking ugly these days.

Guns N' Roses was full of good looking guys, and I can honestly say that even though I'm a guy. You've got fucking Axl, Slash, Duff and Steven Adler, then Gilby Clarke. Izzy's not bad, same with Matt.

Bands like Jet and The Darkness piss me off not only because they steal classic rock riffs and the music, but because they're so fucking ugly.

^^ I would have to agree.

Van Halen seriously rocks.

One of the most definitive hard rock bands ever. Eddie is a genius, and the rest of them are great too.

YES!

Today was the 1st day of November, and it rained! I cranked them all up: the UYI version, live versions that I've downloaded, played the video clip and watched it off the UYI Tokyo DVD.

Ahh that cold November Rain has never felt better.

(Even though it's nearly summer here in Australia, and it was more of a warm November rain. Oh well.)
