My current hard and soft:
Mac G5 dual M-Audio FireWire Solo GarageBand Audacity I'm not a professional musician and don't intend to be. I just want to start singing and playing guitar Blues on my own as a retirement hobby. Instead of using loops for the drums and bass backing I would like to use actual recordings of my favorite musicians as karaokes. Is it possible to remove both voice and guitar from a recording? If so how? Secondary question, a little off topic: I need to buy an electric guitar, not too expensive, possiblly second hand. As a matter of fact I'll stick to a slow tempo, like Blues does, so I don't need a "fast" guitar. I don't care about the look or the shape since I find them all ugly whether Strato or LesPaul or whatever. I don't care about accessing the highest treble notes. I care only usability and sound. What are the specs I should put on my list? Any brand you would recommend? TIA Nick |

Hi all
More about electric guitars. I went yesterday to a guitar shop. The guy advised me to start with an acoustic guitar in the first place. I asked about electric ones anyway, saying that the shape or color didn't matter to me. He said an electric guitar is just a board with strings on it and that the only thing that matters is the mikes quality. That's what I suspected already. Any thought about that? Which vendors have the best reputation in that respect? TIA Nick |
