Autumn Leaves that is....

Again using the modified Super Gretsch but decided to go "Direct In" this time at let my MacBook Air handle the echo.

Cheers

Douglas, that was nice! I was impressed with your results when recording directly into your MacBook Air. What was your recording software? Thanks!

Thanks Rande. Using GarageBand software that's included with every Mac.

Doug, I have a PC laptop and that's why I asked. I'm considering getting a MacBook Pro to use with LogicProX that I already own and is a Mac only product. I'm slowly setting up a little studio to put together YouTube videos that many of my friends have requested for me to do. Thanks for getting involved with all of this and sharing! Will you be at CAAS this year?

Rande,
Over the years I've tried recording on reel to reel, FOSTEX 4 channel cassette, ZOOM hard disc based MRS-1044, and now the MackBook Air. Out of all of them, I like the GarageBand best, because like the FOSTEX, it's pretty easy to use for recording, adding tracks, editing etc. I ended up not using my MacBook Pro largely due to the fact anything disk based is slower on it vs. the solid state drive on the Air. The downside is the 11" screen but I just mirror to a 22" monitor is all good.

I wish I was going to CAAS. Never been but it's on my bucket list. My biggest fear is the potential cost, especially if I start seeing things like Kirk Sand guitars or more Gretsch's. :)

I don't know how I missed this one...great job. I really like the octabass effect and your playing was excellent, too.

Thanks Ray. It means a lot. I think I'm going to put the Octabass aside for a bit and work on something else. Just trying to do something different and have fun in the process.
