And Now For Something Completely Different...

[t_ross33]

Playing around with the line out on my new (to me) Peavey Bandit into my laptop. Here's a quick and sloppy little boogie riff in E recorded with Audacity and my Squier Vintage Modified SH Tele. Using the blackface model on my RP-80 thru the fx loop on the clean channel with some reverb and a wee bit of drive from my Behringer Blues Overdrive.

Lots of clams, I know. Amazing how selfconscious one can be when one knows they are being recorded

Anyway, here's my contribution. Finally. fender boogie.mp3

Thanks guys. Like I said, it was a quick and dirty little test run, but I thought it came through rather well on the recording.

On the subject of clipping: how do you set the input levels in Audacity without actually starting to record a track? Is there a "standby" or "pause" mode that I'm missing?

If you click on the Audacity input level meter, it will show the input signal level when you're not actually recording.

Hey Trev, that rocks! A little bit Kingbeeish if you ask me, and to me that is a very good thing!

VERY COOL T ROSS ...10 on the twang meter...6S9L

Zeusse's good advice. Also see my reply to ZoSo65. What's with all the Z's!

LOL! Thanks, Justa!! It quite fitting actually. I take a lot of my country guitar cues from my uncle. He played in bands with my Dad pretty much the whole time I was growing up. They covered a lot of Cash tunes and he's definately influenced by Luther.

You should hear our Johnny THRASH version of "Folsom Prison"
