wat equipment do i need to make a decent song

-Truth-	Date: June 27, 2004 @ 3:23 AM anybody know the standard equipment, cause im new at this, so can anybody please tell me what i need, which is a ok price(notmuch) and tell me what they r?
pog	Date: June 27, 2004 @ 3:49 PM hmmm.... you can do it with software. Just depends what you wish to do. One of the most important tools for making killer music is your mind. It's nice to have fancy keyboards, expensive turntables, and a flash microphone, but they certainly aren't the be all and end all of writing good songs. It's actually possible to do it all with free software, such as hammerhead rhythm station - www.threechords.com/hammerhead/ and audacity http://sourceforge.net/projects/audacity/ maybe a recording of a few planes flying overhead. The sky's the limit.

DevonPowell	Date: June 28, 2004 @ 4:34 PM wellllllllllll...here's a funny story: I was at the Frog Jumpin' Jam on Saturday, as part of the Columbia Festival of the Arts. The headliners, Daisy Mayhem, from Boston, were in the jam tent (I didn't know they were them at the time), and the drummer was playing on a rig that consisted of: A 42oz sauce pan cardboard box a small leather luggage bag, with a duct-taped center a bunch of tin cans Let me tell you...it sounded really good. It was funny as hell, but man, he played that shit on stage that night and mic'ed up it was as if he had a full kit. The other musicians played guitar, fiddle and upright bass. When I mentioned that had to be the cheapest kit, he said "well..I have to pay $42 for a new saucepan box every time I need a new snare drum"
loubez	Date: June 29, 2004 @ 2:51 PM yo just get yourself a 8 track workstation, roland, zoom, and yamaha are all good brands, and condenser mic and youll be set all this is pretty cheap on ebay

-Truth-	Date: July 2, 2004 @ 4:55 AM mind if i ask wats a pop filter
woodhead	Date: July 2, 2004 @ 8:35 PM A pop filter keeps the p and spit from hitting your mic when singing, you can get on for as cheap as 5 bucks or get a decent one for about 30 bucks
woodhead	Date: July 2, 2004 @ 8:36 PM here you go http://www.musiciansfriend.com/srs7/sid=040702173631069240086031334467/g=rec/search/d=tp?q=pop+filter
kenlinder	Date: July 4, 2004 @ 1:18 PM If you don't have a pop filter you can also (a cheep trick for cheep people) put your hand with the fingers splayed between your mic and your mouth. Aim your mouth when singing just below the fingers on your hand and you loose the P pufs or air.
kenlinder	Date: July 4, 2004 @ 1:24 PM Oh yes, one other thing, if you get a sound card, personal experience says do NOT under any circumstances buy the audiophile 2496. The cards hardware is OK but the ASIO drivers suck and the card does not work with Pro Tools or most other really nice pieces of sequencing software. Its supposed to work better on Mac OSX than OS9 (which has no support at all now for drivers). I have no idea how well its works on the PC.
Young-S-O	Date: July 5, 2004 @ 1:23 AM get a hanger and a stocking..make the hanger straight then mae a circle shape in part of the hanger, stretch the stocking over it..homemade pop filter for the real cheapskates...i suggest just go buy one tho
AdamsGod	Date: November 17, 2004 @ 1:57 PM i bought all my gear on ebay. for very cheap if i may add. software.. if youre looking to buy, try getting fruityloops.. i'd recommend CubaseSX too.. but thats kinda expensive. try getting a cracked version of that.
