If I had cash at all I'd buy better instruments, believe me.

By the way, you're recording, what are you using?

Tascam 4 track. Very simple stuff. I love 4 tracks... Well... recording would be much easier if I had a 8 track. But I get by. I use a program to edit my music called "Polderbits", it is the greatest computer program of all time. (www.download.com ) Easy to use program. you can EQ, Edit, and take out Tape buzz. I use Great microphones. Share mic's. That's probably why the sound comes out crisp & clear.

When it comes to recording, its not what you use. But how much you know. How to mic the instrument, editing, EQ'ing, balancing sound.

I had a program called Cakewalk, the thing was a godsend, SO easy to use. But anything's better than the Casio I've had since I was a kid (even though that thing is hilarious).

It took me a good couple months to get the instrument come through the mic right. But sound balancing's really easy to tweak on Cakewalk (although I think the program's 100+ bucks).

I play an american made Fender 5 string Jazz bass with active electronics, it is sweet.

He is a good singer though.

Why would my opinion reflect the views of horror.com ? Haven't I made it clear that I ain't a stereotypical gothic, Metalhead, depressed, black hair, horror fan
;)

I am stereotypical in my own way. :D

I'm a little rusty, but given time I know I could start playing as proficiently as I used to.
I started with the clarinet, as I was the only person in my class that could make anything other than a high pitched squeel come outta it...then moved on the the alto sax, and the cor anglais.
I played jazz for a school band, performed a few small local gigs.
Played mainly by feel - to this day, I cannot read music, without translating it. eg: writing the letters reprasentative of the notes, but it always worked for me.
I can also play the flute in theory, but cannot make a sound with it, so I stopped trying there...in fact, I haven't played any of these instruments for a while, I kinda lost interest, but I CAN do it.

I play guitar, some keys, bass of course.

Would love to begin learning the violin...just have to buy one first. ;)

I play guitar in a Viking Black Metal badn called Citadel. I do vocals for a Satanic Black Metal Band called Black Goat. And I do vocals for a death/gore grind band that has yet to be named. To give you an idea of the way my voice sounds:

I can mimic the sound of octave effects
I can mimic double tracking
I growl like Tomb of the Mutilated era CC
when I scream it sounds like someone vomiting their entrails out
and if I wanted to I could be in a Type O Negative cover band as a singer.

Andonce we have a demo, Ill host it and link it somewhere around here.

yea i do i play the piano
