Anyone use iChat on their mac?
Well I just bought a macbook the other day!
and its pretty awesome, and well I'm going through testing all the features and I wanna test the iChat thing, I'm pretty sure its like a video and audio version of msn messenger so I thought it would be pretty sweet to use it to jam with some of you folk from bandamp.
So if anyone uses it and wants to chat or hang out (via iChat) just message me your email address and I'll add you!!!

Decent mic under say $200 AUD ?
Really need a new mic for our lead singer but we are pretty poor and stingey and want something good for cheap...
All we use at the moment is this dodgey $35 mic I bought from JB Hi-Fi, through a 30 watt line 6 spider 2 (our bass players old guitar amp lol). Even with a decent amp, although it is meant for guitar, he still gets drowned out a bit by the rest of us =S and if you turn the volume up past a certain point you just get this deadly feedback lol.
It's pretty fine at the moment because we don't do gigs, except at school but we can use all the schools gear =), but soon we will need a decent mic and none of us have any idea so if anyone can inform of a few brands or something it would be appreciated.

The D...(preview)
this is just a rough idea of a song...
i don't play much acoustic but its a bit hard too record my bands songs on my computer (plus it sounds pretty dodge) so the only things i will be posting on here will be acoustic songs ... maybe with some singing from my friend later... but for now tell me what you think of this

Fender FM 212R
hey guys,
just asking about the fender amp 212r anyone got one or know anything about it? I have tested it out at my local music shop and it sounds pretty good, really nice clean channel, and it has a sweet price for a 100 watt amp and i thought i might just ask your opinion on it whilst i save the money for it.
So...yeah...any comments would be great

Recording a drum kit????
Hey, the other day I attempted to record some stuff on the drum kit using just a crappy mic and kristal. I moved my brothers drum kit into the study placed the mic on a table and just started playing and recording. Obviously it turned out absolutely crap......the bass drum sounds like someone farting and just hitting the crash or splash sounds like a window breaking....or a few. I have made it sound a bit better by turning it down a bit but it still sounds completely dodgy. I was wondering if there is any trick to recording the drums with a crap mic in one room or if it just can't be done, and if so is there a way to edit it to make it sound better 'cos I have no idea about like editing the sound and stuff. Any advise would be great 'cos I really don't wanna have to use those computerised drum things......
