Re: what was the "ghettosist" way of recording u ever did?
a friend of mine recorded himself playing drums w/ a cassette deck, then played along to that w/ a bass turned down really quiet and recorded it on another tape deck, then played that tape while singing and playing guitar quietly, and recorded it on the first deck.

I don't know if you'd count this one...
Years ago I was producing a record for one band that decided they wanted to put car sounds on one song, the usual stuff like reving engines & horns. So we all headed out to the parking lot & started up our cars, but rather then grabbing a microphone or two from the studios collection & running a couple hundred feet of cable I grabbed a microcassette recorder and stuck it on the fence. Let tape roll for about 5 or 10 minutes outside, then brought it back inside the studio and stuck a microphone on the recorders speaker to "play" the car sounds onto the multi-track.

Came out fine, good enough for the purposes of makin' an indie record.
Really it's just a sound effect. IME it always seems easier to actually just make whatever's needed for a tune rather then digging through sample library's and maybe paying a licensing fee on top of it. At the very least we're using original sounds and IMNSHO that's always cooler then using some canned preset.
Like a year or two ago I needed carnival sounds for a record so I called up my girlfriend & she put me in touch with one of her friends who's boyfriend was a fireman & they were both working at the towns annual Firemans Festival. We arranged a time & I went down there & pimped power off the game booth he was working at, hung a bunch of a microphones all over the place and recorded about 45 minutes of real carnival atmosphere. I was walking around eatin' fried dough & makin' a rekkid at the same time!
Life should always be that kind of fun!

There's an inbuilt mic in my cassette player, I set that to record and put it somewhere in my room and played through my amp. The funniest part was you couldn't see anywhere on the casette player where a microphone would be! That was my laziest solution, or just a quick crappy recording of a riff in case *god forbid* that I forgot it.
