Well, the best thing is to pull up the manual and read the specs. But, I have seen it... My OLD POD 2.0 from like 2000 ONLY has 1/4" outs. It always bothered me that it had printed on the top 'Ultimate Guitar Direct Box'. Like you, I always associated direct boxes with XLR. What I found out...

The first question is to find out what kind of hard drive is in that thing. I have a BR-864, and that just uses CF cards. If you have a standard laptop hard drive in there. You'd be able to just do it with a duplicator to another disk, or create an image of that drive on your computer. That's...

What a blast from the past. I worked for Sam Ash in NYC back in the late 80's. We were an AKAI dealer. One of my fondest memories was working on the MG1212 owned by Paul Stanley of KISS. It took me to his apartment a few times which was very cool. Of course, it's an old device - and the...

Well... Your question begs some other questions... Any reason you wouldn't look at the manual to confirm the outputs - if you were planning to buy it? However, if you are correct, and there is only a USB out, you would connect it to your machine, and it would see it as an audio device. So...

It's going to sound terrible. Those guys use Marshalls, and Murray used an MXR Distortion+ for a long time... It's hard to really picture what it sounds like, but it seems like your guitar gear is pretty far from what people would use... How does it sound with each track panned at like 75%?

Best is subjective... Or dependent on your needs. The orchestra thing is throwing me. That's not really relevant - is it? You'll need something with a LOT of ports/inputs... A real Orchestra, or midi orchestra. Regardless, I use ARDOUR as my DAW. Cross-platform and really lite.

Most of these user interfaces connect to your computer via USB. So, if you're using them for audio, you'd choose whatever it is to play audio. If you were to connect a MIDI keyboard or module (something with sounds) to the MIDI out, you can run a program on your Computer to play it through the...

Well, you named a few.... I'd throw some of the Line6 POD stuff in there, but, I don't think they have guitar/bass crossover. For bass, I just have other preamps.

There's a kind of crazy part to this question..You mention that a previous owner converted it to USB? That raises a flag to me. I don't know what kind of flag, but, I would research what file format it wanted to see with those old diskettes.... If you try to use a flash drive formatted for...

As the other poster stated.... MIDI files are just data... So they are very tiny. There are MILLIONS of MIDI files all over the internet - of all the bands you mentioned. Trust me, I have ALL of them :) The cool thing about MIDI files is that if you get a Radiohead song (or whatever) you can...

It's a simple requirement - but seems complex to solve :) I'm recording with a laptop. I want to hear the music playing from the laptop as I record my guitar. However the mixer I purchased spits EVERYTHING out of the outputs. So, as I record a guitar track - the backing track goes BACK onto...

Very puzzling situation. Bought a XENYX 802 mixer - and there's NO way to divert things to ANY of the outputs without it altering what I hear when I'm recording. I have a very simple setup.... Machines with soundcards - Line inputs and Line outputs. I only record guitar tracks, and rarely a...

Well, I think I made the mistake, but, the jury is still out. I bought a tiny Behringer YXNYX802 mixer...It *looks* like it can do different routings, but, for the life of me, I cannot get it to NOT output the tracks I'm playing to BACK into the recorder (making a loop). When I press the...

New to the site.... Hard Rock/Metal guitar player just moved to the Huntsville area. Linux user - a very simple rig that I use for recording guitars or vocals. I do everything on my laptop - running a Live version of Ubuntu Studio. I have a tiny Behringer mixer, and do most of my tracking...

Which inputs/outputs??? I just got this mixer today (The 802). All I want to do is record guitar tracks into my laptop. I saw your picture... what I'm running into is.... When I'm RECORDING. I want to hear the mix from my laptop, and my live guitar. However, I ONLY want the guitar track...
