OK, so I’m trying to get some track ideas down without paying through the nose for software, audio interfaces expensive microphones and all the other awkward props needed to perform this what should be simple task.
So, in the old days we used a 4-track tape recording machine to get our musical ideas down, now it’s a minefield of gadgets and software.
But not so, staring me in the face is a Blackstar ID core 20 and for a very low price ($100 or so) I get a practice amp, an audio interface and some very nice fx to boot, all you need is free recording software which can be Audacity or the software provided if you purchase the ID Core version 2.
In this video, I show you in real time how to start writing your next epic rock song in just a few minutes using this simple practice amp.
