Hi All
I've decided to make a rather humorous series going full retro with recording styles. Apologies for the low video quality, it's being filmed on an old JVC DV camcorder for extra retro points!
The point of this series is to prove that you don't need the latest computing hardware if all you want to do is record some sounds - and that it's entirely possible to record dry tracks to send to a pro studio for reamping and mixing even if you only have a crappy 2002 iMac to record with! It really is methodology that counts, not how good your gear is.
Having said that, good guitars and a reasonable interface are still a must. But there's no need to drop $1800 on a new Mac just to record your basic tracks.

In the next episode (this one's quite long and doesn't really get anywhere, sorry) i'll be recording dry tracks using the firewire port, Reaper 4.7 and a Focusrite Liquid Saffire 56 (they only just stopped making these but they're going for cheap). Stay tuned.
