I feel better about playing guitar now

AOK
I've been going through a phase where I wasn't able to play music for my own enjoyment...the recording I did last night ( http://markweinguitarlessons.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2613 ) and some other snippets of time that I've been able to steal after everyone has gone to bed at home have gotten me excited about playing again, too...

Right on! I need to figure out how to record something.

Glad to hear you're back into it and enjoying it again, that's the main thing!
I'm going to try to get started recording something soon too. Haven't had much luck in the past, and what I record I'm sure won't amount to much, but I'm planning on getting started soon too, and at least begin the learning process.

The cheapie Line 6 interfaces seem to get you the best bang for the buck...mine is the M Audio M Box mini and it was $299 with Pro Tools LE, Reason, Ableton Lite and a bunch of other stuff...definitely makes things more fun...

Serious error
I should look into the whole computer recording stuff, but for now i have the tascam, its cheap and easy to mess with.

I just got the Line 6 Toneport UX1 for $69. It comes with Abelton Lite for recording softwar but I am probably goint to try Reaper as well.
Very hard to beat it for the money. I am using it with the free GTR Solo from Waves as well as the Line 6 Gearbox and having a great time. I just need to get a mic now and I'm all set.
This seems to be the most cost effective rig I seen!

I have a Tone Port and Ableton (is that the name?). Never figured out how to use them though.
No kidding. I just think my old computer at home isnt up to it.

Maybe you and i need to make some sort of pact to get up the balls to record and post something, even if it brings teh suck. Cause i really need to get off my ass and try.

I just got it a couple of weeks ago. The Toneport is quite easy once you get the software all loaded up an updated. It was actually a bit of a pain.
I havent loaded the Ableton yet so I dont have any info there. I am thinking about trying it out this weekend though.

ok. I think that is a good idea. Let me see how the Toneport reinstall goes this weekend!
*feels a sudden surge of fear and adrenaline (my spelling is awful)*
Yeah, its a bit scary, but we all have to start somewhere. Its just easier when we suck at 13 years old, instead of 43 years old. hahahaha.
But im in. I'll start working on it.

I've posted my suck on a couple of occasions. It's kind of like ripping a bandaid off. You just close your eyes and post it.
Honestly, it was the guys in this forum who were very helpful and encouraging. I'm in. I am even trying to see if I can write another song for the songwriting contest.
