I am SO #*$%&^*#$%! frustrated that I can't get the sound of my guitar to record well! I'm not using junk here! I've spent TONS of hours messing with eqs, boxes, mics and the board. Suicide is simply looking brighter and brighter. I'm about to sell all my stuff and become a Tibetan monk. F**K it! Recording is an art unto itself, I know. I just have to vent. It seems like my entire life has been a quest to find equipment which will allow me to express the sound and music in my head/heart, and it's depleated not only my funds, but my patience, and now my soul. Welcome to life as a guitarist! I know! ARGH! It seems so easy for others I know. Perhaps I am just retarded! If the OFC tour wasn't this Friday, I would have jumped last night.

Yes, Paul is right Johnny. And just prior to following through with these words of wisdom, in a final desperate act of crying out in an attempt to convey the utter ridiculous venture life has become, mail ALL of your recording equipment to: Norseman1 Brainerd,Mn. ;) Hang in there Bro, better days ahead!

I teach audio recording to Degree level as part of my living. If I can help in any way, feel free to ask. Can't promise anything but another perspective often helps Beal Posted 2003-03-26 8:48 PM (#210628 - in reply to #210624) Subject: Re: Suicide Solution?
