When I finally got around to taking the plunge with PRO TOOLS, I decided to build my own Studio Workstation to kick off this new phase of my home recording… It took about a week to complete this project…

Oh, sure you could probably buy a “computer desk” for less than $200 that might suffice, but then you wouldn’t have that feeling of pride that you get from doing it yourself…

If you want the instructions, send a message through YouTube… Please be sure to check your Inbox for the “DESK INSTRUCTIONS” message in reply to your request… I try to get to Instruction Requests as quickly as I can… Comments welcome…

This is a simple test of my home recording using a Fender Stratocaster….it’s a guitar solo improvisation..I have recorded this song based on a chords progression of D min7 & G7. This song is not fake, but it’s an original version without post editing or mastering..and also no pre-recording…

Andrew Wasson of Creative Guitar Studio answers a viewers question…

Q: Could you consider making a video all about doubling up on tracks to increase the thickness of a guitar part during a recording? I notice you do it on your videos and it sounds great. But, when I do it on my recordings, they don’t have much of a difference in the sound when I play them back. Your input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Brayden — Spokane, Washington USA

A: Recording the same guitar part on another track is an excellent idea that can help a recording sound much bigger than having only one single track. Many times when players start doing home recording and they try this concept, a common problem is that their parts come off sounding weaker, rather than bigger! What often gets over-looked is something known as frequency cancellation. Two identical signals tend to start cancelling each other out. The smart way to double-up tracks is to have the second track you record be slightly different from the 1st track.
