I just had an idea:
It would be great to have a list of the gear that we instructors and most active members use and here's why:
Often users need to choose interfaces for themselves, and often they don't know what to chose. Well, wouldn't it be great to have the gear that we use for recording here on GMC listed all in one place. That way, people can come and see the list and check who uses, Toneports, Korgs, Pods, preamp, amps, and everything else. All this data in one place can later mean a lot when listening to collabs so people can see what type of sound they can expect from gear that most active members and instructors use.
I thought this list can be started here, in a separate topic or on wiki, or later transffered to wiki after we get enough data.
Ooohh yeah, that would be really useful! Great idea!
Sounds cool , I think it can fit to wiki perfectly ..
I think you can just write it if you want in you'r profile
I agree but I thought of something little different, I thought about a list where all the data would be in one place.
Sounds like a good idea,to have it all together.
Hmmmm...yeah, definitely. It would be a lot easier to access and you can also see if instructors have the same gear and compare them.
,
I'm glad you like the idea guys
So anyone have an idea how to begin collecting those valuable informations? I think Andrew can help us out with that, but I can take the job of collecting the gear list over PMs if needed. Later it can be all put donw on wiki, and could be editable or something, so we can update the gear if we change it etc.
Maybe a sticky in the gear section too?
Great idea Ivan, had I read your review on the UX1, I would have bought the correct mic for my interface and saved some time and money going back to a local music store.
I'm with Deep on having a gear sticky
I really like this idea
So I made the article on Wiki about this idea and I invite everyone to come there and write the gear they use for recording on GMC.
Little note to post only the gear you actually use for recording so there aren't any misleading info.
here's the link http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Instructors%26Members_Gear_Listing
For those of you who doesn't know how to add your name and gear - there's a small button that says "EDIT" in the upper right corner of the screen. After you edit your post, please put one horizontal line.
Then, when we gather all the data, I will rearrange it by products.
That's great , I'll write mine tomorrow !
Excellent idea and initiative Ivan! Having all this info gathered would absolutely perfect. If we can turn into a cool looking wiki article we could feature it on a prominent place (perhaps frontpage, video lesson page or wiki startpage!)
I'll do my best to turn it to a great article, after we gather a lot of info there. Currently don't know exactly how Wiki works in order to create good layout, but I will do my best and read the tutorials
Just a note, I remembered that the wiki has a Discussion section.
Work on how to arrange the information should be there.
http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php?title=Talk:Instructors%26Members_Gear_Listing
I just wanted to add my equipment to the list, but for me there is no edit button on the page It only shows buttons named article, discussion, view source, history and watch, can anybody help me with this and tell me what to do?
Hmm, I can't tell why is that, perhaps Kris can shed some light on the subject
Well guys, the list is starting to form itself, I'm so glad.
From now on, this topic can serve for discussion about this project. Some ideas on how to transform all the data that we eventually get in some order that people can read it easily would be great!
I've added my info
Cool thanks man!
For those of you who happen to load only this page, here's the info:
We're building a gear list on Wiki. You can enter the gear that you use ONLY for recording here on GMC.
Here's the link: http://www.guitarmasterclass.net/wiki/index.php/Instructors%26Members_Gear_Listing
Also Organized had a nice formatting template, so I did similar with his, it would be great to all follow similar formatting if possible
I agree Scott, currently let's just build a list so we have all the raw data, later on there are numerous possibilities how we can format the list, and give references.
for now, it is not a rule to do everything similar, the goal now is to collect as many as data possible, later we will definitely do as you say, and reference everything, to be connected to the forum, our wiki, and external links for more info of course!
Added mine This will be a very useful list!
Argh.... Can't seem to figure the wiki "edit" out to the format that OC came up with Ivan so I'll post my gear here if anyone cares to put it in the wiki page.
skennington
Gutars: Jackson's, Dk2m, Rx10d
Ovation C24 Celebrity Acoustic/Electric
Washburn Lyon
Amplification: Marshall Mg100hdfx Half Stack
Peavey Rage 158 Transtube practice amp
Interface: Toneport UX1
Monitors: KRK RP5's
Mic: Samson Q7
Pick: Dunlop Jazz III
That is a great idea! One question what exactly is a wiki?
Excellent work Scott! The list already looks pretty slick, I imagine what would be look like when we gather around all the data! Can't wait!
Little edit, if somebody can't edit the Wiki article properly, he can put the info here and some of the members will put it there! Hooray for Wiki!
I think it is best if people post there info in here Ivan and one person adds to wiki as if you are both editing same wiki at same time as another and save then it will override what they have done when the other person saves and their list will disappear.
strange, now it worked immediately... well, I won't complain My stuff is added too.
I've added tony's gear
is everyone sposed to put their recording gear down or just very active members?
I would say anyone can put the gear, as long he recorded something with it on GMC, it's pretty logical.
Those are pretty interesting thoughts Scott. We shall discuss the new format more thoroughly before we go ahead with the changes.
Do you you have to type out all the code that you see in the above entries or is there an easier way?
Well you can post your gear here and I will put it there properly formatted.
The list look great guys,great job Ivan.
oh ok kewl:
Guitar: Ibanez sa260
Amp: Laney LV300t(current amp) ; Ibanez 10 Watt(all colabs before smoky blues)
Mic: Akira cardoid(Duno wat model; very cheap;$9)
Effects: Digitech RP50( all colabs before smoky blues)
Interface: Mic straight into laptop input with Reaper and ASIO4All
Pick: Jazz iii's
As you can see i have a very budget recording system, how badly does it show?
That'd be awesome! I know a lot of the instructors use the Steve Vai JEM (the white one), and there are a lot of people that own a parker fly. That's really influenced me to look at those guitars. Theres also a lot of Les Paul studios.
Maybe split the wiki into members gear and instructors gear, or add some form of colour coding to it.
I can imagine soon it will be quite hard to find a specific persons gear because there would be so many on the list.
Don't worry Sam, as soon as we collect a reasonable amount of data from all instructors and most of the memebers that record often on GMC, than we will introduce a new layout.
Here is mine.
guitars: Thomas Humphrey from New York made in 1993 (spruce top) and Jose Ramirez III from Madrid made in 1985 (ceder top)

interfaces: None!

That really is a great idea, Ivan. I do want to know what you guys are playing through...or with. I don't know a thing about the computer-related devices that are used by some of you to get the cool sounds you come up with. I can't even work my Korg Pandoras' Box! I also can't work my Line 6 Delay Modeler...pinhead right? Once I get beyond tweaking amp knobs, I start to get lost. I'm not computer-savvy enough to get caught up yet. I realize I need to if I'm going to introduce some lessons, for example. I have the lessons ready to go. I just don't know how to make it happen over the internet. What type of hardware do I need, etc.? So, yeah, you're onto a good idea for sure.
