I'm happy to oblige and tell you that it is a mic'd amp and not a DI box. My wife went shopping all day Saturday and left me free to get liberal with the volume on my amp. I mic'd my Boogie SOB with an sm57 and I am using an
RP12 as a distortion box only, all fx were added via plug-ins. The last song I posted I used the POD for all of the guitar tracks; the POD is awesome for what it is, but I have to say the real thing just has more bite, depth, and tone.
I am going to go back re-record some of the tracks which should clean up around the pauses. A couple of the tracks were one-offs. This song actually started out with more of a funk feel and evolved into what you hear. I can't say enough about what Vegas Pro has done for my recording. Everything is so intuitive. Being able to graphically see fx, panning, and volume envelopes, and crossfades has really helped me to begin to understand how minute adjustments here and there can profoundly affect the mix...and I have only been using it for two months.
As far as collaborating on music via the internet, I'm right there with ya. I will be getting RoadRunner service by the beginning of next year. High bandwidth will definitely expidite the transfer of creativity among us. Thank you very much for your input.
