(SOLO GUITAR PROJECT) Recording Set-Up

My recording set-up is very basic. I will try to discuss each tool and their actual purposes.

SHEET MUSIC
Most of the time, I arrange the song and write it down first before proceeding to a recording session. I guess it is way harder for me to play then write it down afterwards. I don't usually memorize songs that's why I have the music in front of me.

MUSIC STAND
It holds the sheet music.

GODIN LA PATRIE COLLECTION (w/ Quantum pick-ups)
I started using this around April 2013. It has built-in pick-ups. The sound is pretty neat and warm. I always love the cedar-rosewood combination. 

ERGOPLAY TAPPERT
This usually elevates the guitar but without using the traditional footstool or raising my leg. I had some shoulder pain problems and this guitar support cured it somehow. A very cool tool.

G7th PERFORMANCE CAPO
One of my favorite tool. It actually dictates the feel and the tone of my arrangement as it changes the key of a song in a snap.

KODAK PLAYTOUCH
HD videocamera. One thing I like about this tool is that it has a wide angle lens. The video quality is decent and you could also connect an external microphone to it. I used it on one of my tutorials (Chords). It is always mounted on a Gorilla Pod.

M-AUDIO FAST TRACK PRO Audio Interface
I plug my guitar here then it connects to the laptop via usb. This audio interface disables the built-in soundcard of the computer and acts as the main soundcard. This unit also eliminates noise, hum and static sounds during recording. 


M-AUDIO AV30 monitor speakers
It's so nice to hear what you play during recordings. I love the sound of these speakers. It feels like it always tells the truth, a very honest sound.

LAPTOP w/ Adobe Audition 6
I'm using a Macbook Pro laptop and I installed the Adobe Audition to it. Adobe Audition is my main recording software. I mix and edit all my sound files here. With regards to sound effects, I only use default  presets of EQ, compressor and reverb.

***
During recording sessions, I basically do simultaneous recordings of Kodak Playtouch (video) and Adobe Audition (audio). Afterwards, I will syncronize the output files using iMovie. Then render the video in HD format and upload it to my Youtube channel.

Very basic. Basic is fun.
Fun is guitar.

Ole ang Cakewalk Sonar 4 ay nahingi ko lang yun but I guess you could still download some trial versions sa net, same with the video editing softwares.

Yung M-Audio Fast Track Pro ay puede mong ma-iskor on-line, Ebay for $150. Enjoy!

Hello Lex, ask ko lang sana yung cost at kung saan dyan sa dubai maka-bibili ng ergoplay tappert. Di kasi maka-pag padala nito ang Amazon to Riyadh. Available din kaya yan sa duty free sa dubai airport. Salamat sa info.
