All right guys, chime in if you love making music. Tell us what kind of music you make, how long you've been playing, what instruments, favorite gear, whatever!!!
Me, I'm mainly into hard rock and metal, been playing guitar for 21 years, drums for 16, and have been recording and engineering for about 8 years now. I've had a record-deal (small one), been on tour, worked at a triple-A studio, and currently have a publishing deal with Epitaph Records.
I played guitar and drums on Falling in Reverse's The Drug in Me is You, did drum editing for blessthefall's Awakening and
FACT's Burundanga.
Right now I'm just taking it easy in the music biz and just concentrating on writing material for Epitaph and putting together my home studio. I have two guitars, a Dean Dime Shadow ML w/ a Lace Alumitone Deathbucker in the bridge, and an old beat-to-hell Epiphone Les Paul Special II that plays like a champ with a Duncan JB in it.
I have a Sure SM7b mic for vocals, and a ****ty Squier P-bass. I do everything in Avid Pro Tools via an Eleven Rack on OSX.
What about the rest of you? There's gotta be plenty of musicians here on GH, speak up!
