Jimi Hendrix – Home Recording 1983(a merman i should turn to

My info says Jimi Hendrix 1968 Hotel room New York comment if you know anything
Jimi Hendrix Jedi Knight !
lyrics Jimi Hendrix

Hurrah, I awake from yesterday
Alive, but the war is here to stay
So my love, Catherina and me,
decide to take our last walk through the noise to the sea
Not to die but to reborn,
away from lands so battered and torn
Forever, forever

Oh say, can you see it’s really such a mess
Every inch of Earth is a fighting nest
Giant pencil and lipstick tube shaped things,
Continue to rain and cause screaming pain
And the arctic stains from silver blue to bloody red
as our feet find the sand,
and the sea is straight ahead, straight up ahead

Well it’s too bad that our friends, can’t be with us today
Well it’s too bad
The machine, that we built,
would never save us’, that’s what they say
(That’s why they ain’t coming with us today)
And they also said it’s impossible for a man to live and breathe under
water, forever,
was their main complaint
And they also threw this in my face, they said:
Anyway, you know good and well it would be beyond the will of God,
and the grace of the King (grace of the King)
(Yeah, yeah)

So my darling and I make love in the sand,
to salute the last moment ever on dry land
Our machine, it has done its work, played its part well
Without a scratch on our bodies and we bid it farewell
Starfish and giant foams greet us with a smile
Before our heads go under we take a last look at the killing noise
Of the out of style, the out of style, out of style(oooh)…

Best home recording on budget of about two hundred?

I’m a bass player, not really in a band, and I’m getting a drum machine soon and want to do some recording with that and my bass. Would I be better off getting a four track, or maybe some home recording software? I have Windows Vista by the way. Any suggestions?

I would start off with a basic Audio Interface such as this:
http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/PreSonus-FIREBOX-24bit96kHz-FireWire-Recording-System?sku=184133

This will provide you the preamps to directly record your bass and the MIDI input/output to connect your drum machine via MIDI cable.

I’d also recommend a Direct Box, which will allow you to record a clean sound from your instrument to the Audio Interfaces preamps:
http://pro-audio.musiciansfriend.com/product/Live-Wire-Solutions-SPDI-Passive-Direct-Box-with-Attenuation-Pad?sku=150449

This package also come bundled with some recording software that will be more than enough to satisfy your needs as you start out.

You could also add a studio mic to this setup as well using the additional mic preamp and phantom power provided by the Presonus Firebox. All you need is an available Fire Wire connection to your computer and you should be set.

What is the best microphone to but for in-home recording for a band?

We are an average rock band trying to not have to pay too much for recording studios.

We have all the normal components:
Bass Guitar
Drum set
Lead guitar
Vocals/rhythm guitar

What recording mic can we get for a basement band room?

I am going to assume that you only want to buy 1 microphone.
In that case you want to get yourself a large diaphrahm condenser microphone. In my opinion this is this the most versatile microphones you can get. It can record everything, and record it well.

I explain more about why this is a great choice here: http://recordingquestions.com/question/recording-equipment-and-software-suggestions/32#60
