more information
The purpose of the Guitar Nine Records' Home Studio Registry is to allow owners and users of home/project studios to communicate with other musicians who are doing similar projects and work.
Far from being the solitary musician locked in a spare room with a bunch of expensive toys, you will finally be able to hook up with others who have many of the same dreams and aspirations as you do.

Future plans: To make demos, and I`m using my studio to vastly improve my practicing, rehearsals; and it`s allowing me to learn the recording, music compositions, and many different sounds and ways to change/improve on them.

Percussion: Zoom MRS-1044 In-unit 255 drum/bass patterns, with the ability to use touch-pads to create my own patterns. And Cubase
Effects: In-unit Zoom 220 (100 guitar/bass +50 line +50 mastering) modelling effects, with ability to edit many parameters of each effect patch. Plus virtual effects. Also Digitech 400 processor that has many amp simulations, and I can record on my computer with it with the USB connection. Lots of different effects, that can be edited up the yin-yang! Lots of fun to play and stomp the floor pedal!
Microphones: None.

Also, a Line6 Guitar Port, which I plug my guitar into the Port, plug the Port into the computer by way of an USB cable. I can jam and/or record with different amps and cabs and effects, interchangable; but with my computer`s recording software. Plus I can use the Port to hook my guitar up, via "Line in", with other virtual music studios and software.
Other equipment: Crate amp.
Comments: I got the Zoom MRS-1044 a coupla months ago, and the recording/mixing/demoing aspect of it looks great! My biggest joy is the 255 rhythm bass/drum patterns to practice with, and put in leads/fills to, which can be used separately from the recorder, which is my main use for now. There's a bunch of effects, and like the patterns, can be edited. The unit has move/paste/redo--10 tracks with 10 virtual tracks; bounce; full mixer. I don't know anything about high-end recorders, but this unit is awesome to me! Now I'm heavily into computer jamming and recording, and just can't get enough of virtual instruments and studios and software!
