    Hello,Gentlemen.

    Sounds good UnkleSlam...you should give us a rundown of what, who, and how each part was recorded. Don't we all wish we had a drummer that we could keep in our pocket and bust out as necessary? I'll need a few more listens to offer any in-depth opinions.

    Vintage Jax 211 Siren Wah

    Has anyone heard anything about, or better yet, played this pedal? Saw one for sale at a fairly low price and I've never heard of it. Anyone?

    It's Klon time

    The Klon Centaur is a OD/gain/boost type pedal I believe (similar to Z Vex Super Hard-on plus OD I think). Pretty legendary from what I've read. I saw one on eBay going for like $355 and another with a Buy It Now price of $465. Both looked pretty vintage though so that might have certainly...

    digital sound card for use with the vf-16

    mjoa, I just mix down to an extra track on the VF-16 and then save it on a Zip disk in .WAV format. Then I can take it into work, put it on my computer, and use software to mess with it. Or I can just burn it as is to the CDRW on my computer. Most of this is tentative as I have only done it...

    The amazing VF-08!

    worst manual of all time Yeah...micmac's got it right. I have a VF-16 and the manual does suck beyond belief. If I recall correctly, at one point it instructs the user to "turn on the both machine." Fantastic. The next step down would be to just print it in straight Japanese. Capt...

    VF-16 effect problems

    Same problem Yeah..I hear that 8Ball. I'm encountering the same problem. I recorded like 5 tracks, using eff. 1 on three of the tracks and eff. 2 on two of the tracks. Then I recorded back down to tracks 15 and 16 and none of the effects were present upon playback of 15 and 16 alone. I...

    Digital to analog Mixdown???

    Incidentally...I think both regebro and Bruce are giving the same advice even if they are doing their best to disagree. That is, mixdown to VHS, which will give you a higher quality master from which to make copies from, and make your cassette copies from that as opposed to mixing to a cassette...

    Digital to analog Mixdown???

    Little z, Why don't you try both and then decide which you think makes the better master and subsequently the higher quality copies. The waste of a tape or two might save you some time and give you some insight...and most importantly, experience. And of course, share your results.

    Help with the x-34

    Well...first I got a real job, cause I wasn't going to get squat without some loot. But here goes...a brief lesson in research for you. I started out with just the X-34 for a while. Then I got that job. I got a decent mic cause the direct in with my acoustic/electric was not nearly cutting...

    SCSI cable and ZIP disks

    I recently came by a VF-16 and I very recently got a Iomega Zip drive for it. The data cable that came with the external is not compatible with the VF-16. What kind of cable do I need to go from the VF-16 to the Zip and back? I've heard of SCSI cables, but are both ends of these cables SCSI...

    Help with the x-34

    I had an X-34 for a while and I found the same problem. I hated it. I would have to play along with the music on the headphones and hope that it sounded reasonable when I actually had to record. Good thing I had no idea what I was doing and didn't really use the unit all that much, because...

    Best Guitar Solos ever

    Trey Anastasio on Sample in a Jar. Snarling, wailing...I think that I rewind and listen to just the solo several times on every listen. Also, parts of the You Enjoy Myself and Slave to the Traffic Light solos on A live One blow me away. Ummm...how about anything off of Friday Night in San...

    suggestions for recording bass direct

    Thanks for the info people. I'll have to mull it over and see what I can find in the way of a good deal. Tom...you said that the DI is often blended with the miked cab. Will I lose a lot if I use only the DI? At this point I'm not planning on buying a bass amp. I want the the simplest, most...

    suggestions for recording bass direct

    I need to get a bass setup strictly for recording purposes. I plan to go direct into a Fostex VF-16 and I want something fairly simple and cheap but quality (what else is new). The Line 6 Bass Pod looks pretty sweet but I really don't think I need that much in the way of modeling and effects...
