Recording your own music?

[Geeto67]

Does anybody here record their own music? How do you do it? equipment? software?

 

I want to record some guitar pieces I am working on and really other than getting an old tape machine and plugging it into my amp, not sure how to get it into the computer box and then edit it.

I've got one and it works pretty well. I haven't used it in a year or so, you can run it without an amp also (it comes with amp/effects modeling software)

the guy at music go round was showing me one of those on wed. Although I think it was used and didn't have the software with it.

 

Whats the difference between something like that and something like this:

I am trying to so some instrumentals as ambient soundtrack for some video I have been shooting. Western/surf rock style stuff, single guitar, maybe layer in some sampled drums. Don't need much software wise other than squelch out the garbage and edit for time. I am recording off my 1969 Unvox mother and the fender mustang I just built, no effects pedals so....simple as I can get it.

I'm not sure what the big difference is, but immediately it looks like the one I linked has more inputs/outputs. The big reason I stopped using mine is because I wasn't able to get the latency down low enough. (I'd play a note and hear it come back out in 10-20ms) I'm not sure if that was due to the hardware (PC) i was running or the device itself. At the time I was using a Q6600 and it would eat every core processing the effects while recording so that could have been part of the problem.

 

Now that I think about it, I was also using this RIGHT as Windows 7 came out and it was a nightmare to get working correctly so that could have also been part of the issue.
