home recording studio is up and running!

I love having semi-free weekends.  I finally got my little home recording studio up and running today.  A while back I found an older Tascam USB mixer that I tried to get working with my new computer.  Problem was, it wasn't designed to work with Windows 7, so it would never show up and caused my machine to crash.  After a little Google searching, it turns out that under "preferences" you can specify for the device to run in Windows Vista SP2 mode (it defaults to XP) and this provided the work around for Windows 7. Eventually, I think I'll need to invest in a proper recording program like Cakewalk, but in the meantime I have Audacity (free!!!) and it seems pretty simple to use.

I can finally start to work with the various instruments I have been collecting over the past year... a telecaster with P90 pickups, an electric drum set, a MicroKORG synthesizer, a Korg Kaossilator and various guitar effects pedals. Its safe to say no real work is going get accomplished for the rest of the afternoon.
