Mesa Dual Rec would be the one for the tone you seek. The 3 channels models have more low end that you will be able to use. Can get a used head for just about the price you are looking for. They are built like a tank, so don't worry about buying used.

Believe it or not, when I was a younin' I used one of those with a DS-1 in front of it. Sounded about as good as you would think it would.

I use to call Marshall amps "Me Too" amps back in the 80's. "oh, you use Marshall...me too!" Whole reason I went to Boogie was because I didn't want to sound like everyone else with a Marshall. Now, everyone is using Boogie's. Where to go now?

It isn't about capturing the "perfect" performance or tone. It's about capturing magic.

I have recorded albums (back in the late 80's) in major multi million dollar studios. The stuff I'm doing at home is far superior to anything I did in those studios. It is not about having top end mountains of gear, but rather what you can do with what you have. I have seen people work in...

I have only heard of one PCI to PIC-e converter that worked, but it didn't fit in the tower, so they had to mod it. The other problem that comes into play is finding a new chipset that supports the 1010. Also can not run the 1010 with an I7. It seems that the only real solution is to keep the...

Still using my Sampson 65a's with a sub. Still sound great.

Good luck finding a motherboard with a pci slot. Then you have to worry about a chipset that will support the 1010. The i7's also do not seem to play well with the 1010, from what I'm hearing. I believe that if you are planning on staying with PCI, you had better think about staying with the...

My Delta 1010 is PCI, and it's next to impossible to find a new MB that not only has PCI, but also a chipset that will support the 1010. So, since I need to build a new Windows machine, what is the best replacement for this audio card? Really would like to keep the 10 ins, or at least as many...

Slim chance all five cards were bad due to mishandling. However, it could be that the reason they were pulled from whatever computer they came from is because they went bad.:p You should be able to still use the OB video. May have to check out the options in the Bios. I use 3 monitors in my...

...and change the band name. There are about a million and seven bands using that name.

Need to beef up the vocals a bit. Also, all those keyboard riffs in the verses...give them to the guitar (keep the same riff, just loose the keys). Do something to make the second verse a bit different than the first. Add another instrument with a different part or catchy riff to that second...

I'll be entering this one in the next song contest. Recorded my whole band, plus some horns for this one. Tell me what you think, guys...

Unfortunately, this is as mixed as it's going to get. HDD fried and I this is the most finished version I have. The final mix would have taken care of most of the issues mentioned so far. I was working on the noise problem during the quiet parts, and pretty much had that taken care of. As far...

Entered this one in the Home Recording Original Song Contest. This is actually the first recording I did in the home studio. I think it turned out ok. What do you guys think?
