A couple Question for Luke

[Coma]

Well, Im thinking about trying my luck at trying to do a one-man-band sorta like you guys, you know, a crazy ummm Death Industrial band....
I can probably do it all by myself because i know how to play guitar and bass and I can try to scream heh. But my questions are...
1. What type of mic do you think I should use?
2. What programs did YOU use for the drum tracks, and where did you get the samples for them?
3. Would I better off with hardware (synthesizers and whatnot) or software (Computer Programs)

There's something. I don't understand a flying rat's ass, but I think that you'll find something useful from there.

That's from the homepage, on the right "studio". There's something else too

Uhhh.....any of this shit free???

[Nazartum]

Well if you have connections... :P

[CuntingLeper]

you can easily download some of the software, though Steinberg(cubase, wavlab)won't work via download

the rest is hardware....again though, you can find some decent stuff quite cheaply in places.

Tascam M-2516 Haha i have one of those, set up with Yamaha Yz-6003...or something...its in my room and i'm not getting up off my arse to look....anyway thats an 8 track that i use as a pre-amp. i run all my guitar's 'n' bass' through a Laney 180 Hardcore Max (this thing is fucking LOUD) which has DX output so i don't even need mic's...though i do prefer mic'ed amps...this thing atleast means i don't need to get rid of the static. I then run Bass through a bass pod, which uses overdrive, distortion and a Marshall amp synth thing (shit vocabulary has gone out the window today man) and the guitar goes through a Black Liquorish and an Ibanez Death Metal distortion pedal. Anyway thats what i use, i lay the vocals and drums down at the studio at the local arts college.

Here have 1/4 of a song i'm writing at the moment...in tab form...unfinished becasue i don't know where to go with it...working title April Faeces not really very heavy....its more Decapitated style. buts it pretty fast, anyway, enjoy...or not probably not.

EDIT: it won't let me upload it so if you are at all interested (unlikely) PM me.

Will sound alot better with some shit laid over the top.....dbl tracked guitars...bass....samples...drums.

An 8 track you use as a pre? i am confused.
Do you mean M-2516 has 8 channels that you send to Yz-6003??

Ibanez Death Metal Distortion? I heard of an Ibanez Smashbox, and I own a DOD Death Metal Distortion, but I don't know that one. What are them DanElectro metal pedals like?
