I just dusted off a ton of my old recording set-up, and I think I'm going to invest some more time and money into it again. I just bought this little guy yesterday, and I can't wait to mess with it:
Do any of you have home studios? I'd love to collaborate with any willing musicians.

depends on what you wanna get into making. I've been making dance music in my own studio for a while now. Been thinking of learning how to use my studio as it's own instrument with my prepared guitar improvisations. Let me know what you are into.

i used quite a bit of different software, mostly, and that's about all i ever really do to make or record music anymore.
for recording, the latest cool thing I've seen is http://www.reaper.fm/
but lately i'm on ubuntu, so i mean, i can do vsti and dx stuff, and even use repear it seems with wine, though still... it is a lot of fun even if it isn't ideal, but it functions well. i'd like to step up to 96k recording at some point.
i've never messed with portastudio things like that picture, though, only digital recording for the last 12 years... since "samplitude"... i did do a 5 song thingy just to see if my latest setup would work back in december, but i haven't messed with anything besides just recording live since then, just using audacity or something... i generally haven't had any good ideas, or at least one i could get behind.
i'd like to buy a large diaphragm condenser mic, but i dunno, most of what i've been doing lately is software or just directly patched acoustic guitar.
i would say if i lack something, it's anything rhythmically interesting (well, that and practice, and good writing), but i dunno... heheh but i get into midi rather thick. I mostly have done like folky stuff, but I do like orchestral type stuff or perhaps acid synth ;p
but I've also gotten into some of the music programming languages out there. i got some python code that'll turn your wii remote into a theramin i've been working on ;p

I've got a low-fi set-up in the basement. usually, I just record unaccompanied guitar, so fidelity isn't a huge deal. Minimal gear also forces me to be inventive. Some of my favorite recordings are decidedly lo-fi.
check out tapeop.com for some good ideas.

tapeop.com's forums are an insanely great resource, but at some point you have to tell yourself to stop researching heheh... i'm rather moody with music, but i'd love to collaborate with others and see what comes of it. could possibly do it all over the board, trading mp3s and midi files and what not

A good friend of mine and I collaborated on three comedic hip-hop songs, while I was here in Columbus and he was 60 miles away in Wilmington. Just file transfer over AIM. It worked incredibly well.

I just had an amazing idea. We should set up a sort of collective, track layering thread, where one person starts with just a rhythm track of bass and drums or something similar, and each person adds a new layer. I bet we could come up with some pretty neat stuff.
