    TC Electronic G-Major 2 as aux send/return effect

    As per the title, is anyone using the TC Electronic G-Major 2 as a send/return effect on a desk (studio use only, not live)? On a whim I picked one up second hand at a great price and I was thinking about using it for keys (and possibly vocals) in addition to guitar. In fact, I don't really need...

    Analogue synth into guitar pedal into console - DI box needed?

    I have an Arturia Minibrute analogue synth connected to an overdrive pedal, a multifx pedal (for modulation and reverb) and a delay pedal (all guitar pedals). The output from the last pedal goes into a StudioLive III/32 channel desk. I understand that if I connect the keyboard directly to the...

    SM57 for acoustic guitar - with or without windshield?

    I have an SM57 with a Shure A2WS locking foam windshield, which I currently use when recording spoken word voiceovers as well as sung vocals. I want to get away from DIing my electro-acoustic and would like to record it using the SM57. My question is whether I should remove the locking...

    Headphone mix with fx, main mix dry - Mackie 1202 VLZ4

    Hello all, I have just bought a Mackie 1202VLZ4 and I love the fact that it has inserts on all channels as well as two aux sends (although at this time I only use one). It's a step up from the Behringer I've used up to now. I have an Alesis 3632 compressor in dual mono mode hanging off the...
