Duende, Im on a PC. All you can see in the pic is the monitor. My PC is in a closet 6 feet away for noise dampening purposes. I suggest PC, becuase there are so many more choices of software and vst plugins you can use with PC, and PC's are alot cheaper. Less than half what you'd pay for a Mac with equal power, and ram.
Tom, yeah, im keeping this layout all acoustic I still have my Telecaster and Stratacaster, as well as a Fender Jazz bass, a Ramirez study guitar, and the Yamaha CG171F. I also have a 1961 reissue Gibson SG, and 2 Taylor steel string acoustics.
Koella, Thanks for saying i look young! Cant you see the grey hair coming in? I'll be 39 in November
whats the stuff on the wall ? to dump the room reverb out ?
and how many flamenco guitars do you have ?
The stuff on the wall is generic 3" foam. (not Auralex)
As you said, it just keeps the room from sounding "Boxy".
Ive got enough foam up on the walls, to where, the room doesnt really sound like anything. It feels like you're in a vacuum. Not so fun to practice in, but its cool, cause you can hear every little detail of what you're doing on the guitar.
I have 3 flamenco guitars. The Brune, a Ramirez student model, which is the one in the "mic setup" pics, and the Yamaha CG171SF
Though the classical in the pic is spruce top, maple b/s with a low bridge profile, and fairly low action. It works well for flamenco too. Though there's no golpeador on it, so, i dont really go there.
I guess maybe it seems like i have more guitars, cause i posted 3 or 4 pics of each one. Throw me a line, ive gone overboard!!!! TK
