Finally got a Writing corner set up!

"Good" equipment isn't always necessary. I'm pretty sure Solace uses a $10 microphone, and his songs sound nice enough. I've used a $100 Shure SM58 and have it come out terrible because of cables, so it's all about what you do with what you got.

As far as a private area...do you have a car? When I was 16 I recorded a handful of songs in a car, just because I could get heated in there without disturbing anyone. It sounds weird, but it actually comes out decent considering the fact that you're rapping in a fucking car. You just have to use a laptop. Shit, I guess now they have multitrack recorders on iPhones, but I can't imagine the vocals come out too great.

Yeah, I wouldn't use an internal mic of any kind. I have a multitrack recorder, and it's mic isn't bad, but it's better suited for song "ideas". It has phantom power though, so I could always plug in my condenser mic.

BTW, if anyone's looking to buy a digital multitrack recorder, hit me up. Fostex MR8 MkII. Nothing fancy, but it gets the job done, and I'll sell it for the price of an entry-level condenser microphone.

Good looking out with posting them lyrics pages guys. My ish looks like essays, and I sometimes underline some words in order to not get confused. Here you go, though unfortunately only dR3 could understand them, lol:

My friend writes like this, he doesn't distinguish each line, he just keeps writing. If I'm free later I might scan a few sheets.


Haha, yeah, my handwriting doesn't give me a lot of freedom.

I write on both my computer (Notepad) or a legal pad with a pencil/pen.

If my parents found out I wrote/record rap, they'd freak the fuck out, so I wait till I'm home alone, or I wait till they're asleep, go into my car with my mic/laptop and record... It's sad, I know... I should probably just tell them.

Nobody except maybe my brother knows that I write. I try to keep it secretive, it's my own personal little way to relax.

I asked my mom for her credit card last year so I could buy SSLP through Encore from Amazon ( I wanted the CDs for the booklets, etc ). I didn't say what for, I just said for some CDs. She kept prying so I begrudgingly (such a great word) said "Eminem". She said, "Isn't he that rapper that calls women 'bitches'?" I looked her right in the face and said "Yeah, and your Bible and country music doesn't degrade women either." (Uhhh, 'Honkey-Tonk Badonkeydonk, anyone???) She gave me her credit card. That was that.
