If I'm just starting out recording in my room/studio. I've heard that the M-Audio or one of those that are about $120.00 are good for beginners. 2 inputs one for my elec. guitar and one for a mic. then I could run that into my imac to Garage Band.

you got a bit of green screen in your hair lol

if you want to stop the reflections from the ceiling, stick them ON THE CEILING!!

your just going to change the polar pattern of the mic. probably induce comb filtering too if you just place it onto the mic!

@ransisua I prefer Guitar Rig, but you've got a good point.

AMPLITUBE 3

You guys have some good tips in your vids and seem to purchase a lot of different equipment to use for recording. Don't you think its time you purchased Reaper? Its not free and it is worth the small price.

I'll buy Nuendo 3 and Fruit Loops. Do you think there are much better software programmes than it?

believe it or not, the emulated line out on the Marshall Mghdfx 100 sounds pretty good. its the best line out i've heard.
