yep they are nice however if you already have a pod and autotune they are more or less redundant.
Can you wangle an educational discount ?
If so Logic Pro becomes 500 bucks.
I think (and I may be wrong here) the major difference between the two is the plugins so the tutorial will tell you good things re. how the program is organized. Have a read of the description on amazon...
This is the beast

It works equally well with Win Xp or OSX, I have used it with both. Why am I getting rid, well with two MOTU 828s it is just sitting gathering dust.
It has very nice...
I use Logic Pro 7.2 which is a very cool bit of kit. The learning curve is steep but once you get used to it, it is no real problem.
CSI do a series of "Cool School" tutorials (probably find them at Musiciansfriend). They are a bit dated (for Logic 6 I think) however if you are starting from...
This baby is in mint condition and has thee moddle packs installed. It also comes with the stand / mic stand attachment thing (No box but with original Pilot guide).
Im interested in swapping it for a Mic / pre of equivalent value.
New, the Pod xt is $299 and the packs come in at $100 for all...
cheers dude !
I didn't try to make the variax sound better or anything.
I think a few people were quite pissed with the result !
After doing quite a lot of Jamming with it, it also appears that the Spank tones cut through a mix really nicely as well !
Wooohoo !
I don't know if you saw or are interested but I posted an A/B comparison of a strat, an LP and a variax no long ago in the guitar forum.
Might be worth a look
yep, with some of the variax models, if you can get to the workbench computer prog. you can customize stuff.

Very cool !
I still haven't got the alternate tunings like "open A" or "drop D" to work properly but swapping PU and wiring schemes is pretty...
Thanks mate, you are helping a lot and I appreciate it.
I guess that one the day, I'm just going to go out there and find my sweet spots ! If people get impatient, well I can always talk the buggers down !
Unfortunately this is out of my hands, Im still waiting to hear. It will either be in an old deconsecrated church (Im hopping I don't get hit by lightening) or a recital hall.
In addition to the close miking, I was thinking of using the PG81s set up in ORTF config. as ambiants just to see what...
Wise words and they are appreciated.
I take your points, I will keep the variax at home and use a couple of C1000s on backing vox as a starter.
I was figuring that this was only a starting point and that mics would get shuffled as required.
I also thought that I'd overdub the vocals later...
This is scaring me a bit. I have landed a gig recording a 5 or 6 piece ensemble a week today. Im used to doing rock however this is pretty new.
At my disposal are:
2x MOTU 828s going into a G4 powerbook running Logic Pro7.2
Pres: 1 x Avalon vt737sp, 1 x Avalon U5, 1 x ART TPS, 1 x Focusrite...
MF are great until they screw something up and then they are rubbish.
I boycotted them for about three years after the mother of all fuckups on there part. Instead of an apology I had the mother of all fights to get a bloody refund ! Not fun.
I still use em if they have a particularly good...
