Everything is recorded in my room with the windows open and has all sorts of distracting noises. I use pathetically cheap equipment but still usually happy with the results. You could say this is Lo-Fi pop but you don't have to if you don't want to. I use a five dollar computer microphone, just like most people here, but my feelings towards it are indifferent. I don't take any pride of being "lo-fi" and yet still don't neglect the quality of the recordings. My guitar's pick-up and plug--thing is broken but I don't have money to repair it. Even if I would have the money, I'd probably not use it to fix it as it isn't in my life's priorities. Sometimes a bass guitar can be found in the recordings. I hardly ever play bass, even if its a fine instrument. The plug-thing is also a little broken, but I don't even know if the bass is "in tune" because I never had someone show me. I don't have or can afford a bass tuner. The drums and sounds are usually made with FL Studio and a VST plugin called "Rebel2lite". I highly recommend it if you like that type of synth. Any other keyboard stuff are made with Prodikeys DM. It's a buggy keyboard but it's fine for what I do. My music, or the music I play are usually just fun songs that shouldn't be taken overly seriously. This isn't some hardcore "indie" band that believes that song writing is like writing in a diary. It isn't. I want to hold your hand. It tells a story, without you having to be part of it. Still you enjoy it. It is just the cheap fun you need.
