Homemade recording studio


As you may or may not know, I play guitar for the funk/rock/pop band Kobayashi Porcelain (name taken from the film The usual suspects). We are currently working on a new album, but we do not have a lot of cash for it. So... yesterday 7:30am I picked up Sagi (the band leader, drums, vocals...) Guitar, amplifier, effects, cables, percussion instruments... we drove to Yanai (Sagi's brother, percussions, vocals, keyboards...) picked up the recording computer, hard drive, more cables, microphones, mixer, headphones ... drove to the holy city of Jerusalem to pick up some vintage keyboards, and finally drove to Ofer's (ex bass player for the band, now plays with Sagi on a seperate punk-pop project Action Attention!!!) paresnt's basement. Ofer set up a small rehersal room there. This is not an american standard basement, more like a small storage room. After finding the actual keys to the basement the fun began: setting up all the equipment in the room and running the cables to the mixer and computer outside the room. Bottom line, by the end of the day I didn't get to record a single note. So... Today im going back in... wish me luck...
