My first multitrack recording about 20 years ago. Free drum software for the drum part (played manually on PC keyboard with the fills played and mixed down manually). Shareware recording software with very limited multitrack capability. Ibanez Roadster 2 guitar and a Peavey practice amp with the gain cranked and plugged into the line input on a Pentium 3 PC’s sound card. Manual mixdowns for all the parts. Had to play all 3 guitar parts beginning to end in one take with no edits. Low tech.
Shitting my pants again earlier tonight cloning a new Cold Card, on the path to greater knowledge about the importance of regular firmware updates. It all worked out in the end.
Remember that in a crisis, your bathtub can usually be filled using the last remaining water pressure available in your neighbourhood, for wash water and toilet flushing.
And don’t forget, you’ve got 40-60 gallons in your hot water tank that can get you through several days too.
