on a new home studio, protools and a woody

kris saw my post about

what i wanted for christmas

and ended up getting me an
digidesign

mbox

, which comes complete with the industry standard

protools

software package. the setup was a bit of a pain, mainly because it
took me a long time to discover that the version of protools that
shipped with the mbox isn’t compatible with
panther

, but a software update from
digidesign

fixed the situation.

now, my only problem is that my old

seymour duncan “woody” pickup

for my
martin

doesn’t sound so hot. everything sounds thin and tinny, which is
certainly not the natural, warm tone of the guitar. i think i’ll
probably have to invest in a good condenser mike soon. i think i
used to have one, but who knows where it went. in any case, it’ll
be fun to roll up my sleeves and do a little recording, as i think
it might be close to ten years since i’ve put anything down.
