Awww David. Is this an intentional self-punishment? An intentional psychological massage? Wilful torture? Or is it unintentional? A "despite your best efforts" kind of thing? Self deprecation to entertain the masses or some other purpose? Or a social comment on the malaise that soaks our society creating wilful disinterest amongst the masses? Or simply something tongue in cheek to say? Ah the mystery! The suspense!

For acoustic I absolutely agree, even when using mic simulators... though you could still try experimenting with a mic recording and then running it through a decent acoustic amp sim. nothing ventured nothing gained. a decent acoustic mic is generally much, much better than the built in electric bugs

*looks for Bill* Hi Darren One thing you don't say is what you plan to use the recordings for? That might make a difference to what I would suggest. Direct Injection (DI) (line) recording has never been as good as it is right now. In addition to effects there are some excellent amp and effect simulators for guitar, for example look at some the Amplitube range of products from IK Multimedia. There are others in the marketplace but their products achieve a great balance of quality and versatility. Some amp sims and guitar effects are free, try checking the free VST suggestions board on Songstuff. DI is by far the simplest hardware set up, and usually the easiest therefore to record. Apply the effects /amp sim on monitoring, ie don't record the effects and amp sim sound, just the DI guitar. When you record you can monitor the amp sim output with few issues once you master the basics of latency. Cheers John

Hi Danke I would ask, cliche in idea, or in expression? If the first, I would say don't be too harsh on yourself, most ideas have been done many many many times, but then people want to hear about certain topics over and over. The thing is, they want to hear about it in relatively unique combinations (where possible) even if it is just one little detail, and they really want to have them expressed in unique ways. That doesn't mean every line needs to express something differently from the way people commonly express things, but rather you think on interesting combinations, you twist meanings of common phrases, or the context they sit in, or both. One way to think on it is "okay, I like this phrase... Now what will I do to make it mine?" I am just scratching the surface here. Although not entirely matched, you might find my article on keeping a song interesting in the songwriting articles section useful, http://songwriting.songstuff.com/article/ Cheers John
