Thanks for all the posts, thus far. i'm continuing the research but so far, you guys got me a little nervous about attempting to do this. If it's going to sound like crap...well that's just unacceptable.
Also, what guitar brands and models should I look at for either direct or micing. $500 range. Like I said, I'm out of the loop and there are more choices out their than Kool-Aid flavors.  |
What about using cans and track in the CR? That's what I do, anyway, when I have to engineer AND play.
For cheap guitars (anything less than $1500)
Seagull beats everything.(I tried about 75 guitars in that range $0-1500)
And fits very nicely to your $500 budget.
Good Luck!
