Wanna make a wise investment? record guitar with the Logitech c270

When you start on the recording music world, the first issue you front is "F*ck!! I don't have enough money to afford this things", but the most important thing even with pro equipment comes down to........creativty, and if you're creative enough, you can make amazing things from stuff that others might point as "unthinkable crap".

Before I got the XM8500 to record my acoustic guitar, I was kinda interested on buying a cheap HD webcam, as the regular consumer I always look for the cheapest 8th wonder of the world that might be some times impossible.......but I think I got more than what I paid with the Logitech c270 that was under 40 Dollars

It's not the best webcam.....but it gets the job done, it has a 720p resolution (but kinda noisy image), it has some color correction, but then I found that it had a built in microphone that the system detected, and I really wanted to do some tests with it.

I put the c270 mic as default on windows (it also works great on a mac) and I fooled around with my acoustic guitar and putting the webcam mic somewhere near the 12th freat and about 4 or 5 inches far from the guitar, then I recorded a cover from Metallica called "Low Man's lyric", with some dedication I got this:



It's really interesting to see that I got a really helpful device that served as an awesome mic and camera, hopefully you can get more creative than I and make even more awesome things, in my opinion, all arts (specially the music) it's about the passion, the love, the inventiveness and it doesn't matter to get 1st class products to get a decent result, it always comes down to taste, dedication and creativity.

I'll explain the process behind setting the webcam mic to record on Windows and Mac soon, so you might want to check out this blog sooner than what you think.

You can find this amazing webcam on amazon right here for just 28,99 dollars, you can also click the amazon ad below to see more details

The amazing Behringer XENYX 302USB review - Awesome noob gear Pt. 1

Image
Well, there isn't quite an extensive review about this really cheap and affordable piece of gear from Behringer (kinda becoming my favorite brand). There are a lot of stuff to say that no one has said about this little mixer on the web, that I'll be making this multi-part review for all of you. This is a mini Mixer/USB Interface that can really kick major ass if you know how to use this. it has a combo input for both 1/4 instrument jack and XLR that provides up to 16v of phantom power (I'll address this in a few moments) Recording electric guitar, bass, acoustic guitar and vocals in a professional way for less than 60 dollars (at the time of writing this post). But.....don't get fooled by my awesome words about this product, it has its limitations, like for instance, if you see the review on the video above (or even Behringer's website) it claims to be a 5 input mixer..........you can mix up to five channels, hell yeah, but in a really complex and unpract...

Dr. Phibes Rises Again - The Misfits Covers Demo

Image
First of all, let me apologize about the long, LOOOOOOOONG absence here, I've had some health issues, as a lot of work as well, but I'm back!! Now, I'll be posting new stuff Monday mornings Let me introduce to all of you an "album" (if we can call it that way) made entirely by myself, containing all of the experimental covers that I made around the late 2010's and  during 2011. I first made some tracks exclusively for www.guitarbackingtrack.com because everyone lacked of Misfits backing tracks, and I really love to play their songs, so I thought........what the Fuck?!!! let's have some fun, reccord those tracks and then do whatever I like to them. Once the tracks (as backing tracks) were finished, I did whatever arranges were needed and then, I kept them for my personal use (some tracks were uploaded to youtube to experiment a little bit). Then I reunite the best tracks (or in some cases, just the ones that had an special meaning for me) to make ...

Introducing: Dark Victory Records!!

Image
I'm kind of a control freak you know? If you want something done right, you gotta do it yourself!! and when it's about my music, my babies....then i'm tooking no fucking exception!! In the spirit of it, I've created Dark Victory Records , which will take care of my releases as well as the releases of a couple more artists ( Satanic Butcher , Death of Innocents ) and will be the home of many other bands releases as well (hopefully). I'll be in control of producing those albums and of the artists as well, and this means one thing only.....FREEDOM!! we all want that isn't it? I think we all agree that we deserve better music, we need to push the artists and audience further, there are a lot of amazing artists here on Mexico, and be pretty damn sure as hell that if they ever step foot on Dark Victory Records, we'll make their fierce sound be heard. So, stay tuned, we'll announce the first release on Dark Victory Records and hell, you'll better w...
