Hi all. It's been a long time since I've posted. After going through much finical and physical difficulty (wife got her back broken in a rear end collision) I sold off most of my gear needing the $. We finally got some internet back.
I'm looking for an acoustic for around $300.00. Used would be OK. Suggestions would be welcomed.

Did you pay for the new pick up?  If so, Get your new guitar, and the pickup, and tell them good day, as you walk away never to return.

Hang out with the guys more and get them to show you. Some of the magic will rub off.  Best I have ever played was with a few guys who were great players, they just would show me  a tune and then Idd follow along. If I got lost I wpuld signal one of them and he would get me back on track.

I spent a weekend of Motorbikes and music in Dallas Tx.  Saw about 6 bands. Two of them stand out above the rest.  I bought 2 CD's, & patches, and a T-shirt from a band called MISSILE, and the other band,  THE P-TOWN SKANKS, I bought a shirt from them to show my support. 

The P-Town Skanks are  Rockability/psychobilly (new name for the style)  they have a cool groove that is not a heavy sound and you might look them up on YT.  I talked with their stand up bass player a while. Victor was cool.  He can slap da bass like a madman lol  They didnt have a CD yet but said they were hoping to soon. You can hear their stuff here  http://www.reverbnation.com/theptownska … ist_933627

I think I have posted vids of MISSILE in the music section last year.  They have added a second guitarist who looks like Jack White.  Yep I joked with him aobut it and he just shook his head and gave the "yep never heard that befor" LOLOL They all were all a great bunch of guys to BS with.  I thought that was nice since I was visably out of their demographic LOLOL, but man they can work a crowd.

For thoes of ya that are on FB with me I have pics posted.

If I understand or think I see the problem,,  Is that you guys are starting from scratch and like most starters, your gonna need guidance  close and personal. Coming here is a great move, and as you can see we are all doing our best to help.  Sometimes a person just has to see it done  for the lightbulb to get bright lol   Go to a shop you trust and let them know what your trying to do. tell them your on a budget, If they are a good shop. they will talk to you for a bit about your needs, and give you basic instructions to get them most of your investment.  OR option 2, Is there a University/Coll/ good highschool around you with a music program? Run an add for a sound guy wanted for light recording project.  Find out how much he would charge you to come in and show you the best way to hook everything up, and do some engineering + show you guys how to run the stuff. 
Or do the best you can from what Jerome, Russ, and Phill have given you and scoure the history on this section.  Lots can be gained from YT, but you gotta try and put the peace's  together for what you have.  Keep at it, you will feel rewarded when you get that track sounding good.

Never heard of a unpowered mixer, for any quality you gotta have power. BUT  look here  Beheringer!   I have a xenox 802 but you will want more xlr inputs and onbd effects so look at this  http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audi … 02fx-mixer  or
  http://www.musiciansfriend.com/pro-audi … th-effects
treated with respect this company makes good stuff at a great price.  look into their studio mics also.

I loved my floyd rose II.  Once tuned it just stayed that way. all it took was a tweak of the fine tuners.  But your right about breaking a string.  I never played hard enough to make it a problem.  my buddies all had at least one spare guitar set up ready to go. lol

I think if you want to produce a quality CD for sale you need to mic all the instruments into a mixer get the sound your happy with and send it stereo to Audacity,Audacity is fine you don't need to use Reaper just get a good mix and after recording it to audacity export it as a wav file not mp3 and burn it to a cd a wav file is larger but not compressed like a mp3 file and will sound richer smile

Or yea, listen to Russel! LOLOL Sorry man I forgot about all your skills at the time.  Yep that sounds like the ticket.  Seems that they dont have a mixer  from what he said.

Hey Thanks for the encouragement Guys.

Topdown: I like that, Crank up the volume!------ then I'll whisper the lyrics. However I would be extremely happy with your Rule No. 1

Man! I just want to play and sing. Doesn't have to be great just good enough to keep horses from bucking.

Oh I think if you can make them buck then your doing it right!  Like my note to Jeff, amp up your guitar, weather its got electric inside or just a soundhole pick up like I use, you can kick in that ROCKSTAR button! lol  amazing what some chorus and reverb can do for you.  You can even try out running your mic through the same effects.  I like to play around with mine like that.

I can't sing worth a damn, hell, I can just barely call myself a guitar player. That said, I'd rather be playing my guitar and singing than doing just about anything else. I play and sing for fun, folks ain't paying to see me. Jerome said once, singing is 90% attitude and 10% talent. I believe if you sing from the heart, your feelings and spirit will outshine being a little out of tune and most folks appreciate the effort. And if that don't work, just crank it up! I often make up for my lack of talent with volume!

Man, Then you need to set up like I do! lol  Or as my brother-in-law says, just step on that ROCKSTAR button!LOLOLOL
