Equipment

Items that will be used:

• Tascam PocketStudio 5 digital 4-track recorder
• Gibson Les Paul Studio electric guitar
• Shure SM-58 vocal mic

Items that may be used:

• Takamine 12-string electric/acoustic guitar
• Casio keyboard
• Martin mandolin (I think it’s a Martin; I haven’t touched it in years, and I don’t really know how to play it)

Any bass and drums will be generated digitally by the PocketStudio 5. I am sacrificing some sound quality in exchange for the ability to use more tracks for vocals and guitars (the PS5 doesn’t count its own internally generated tones against the four available tracks). Plus I couldn’t play drums if my life depended on it.
