I'm no tech, but I thought I'd post here to see if anyone else had dealt with this, or even thought about it. I'm not a fan of the switches they use on the JamMan Stereo JML2. When used for live looping, it can create some timing issues. The older style JamMan used similar switches to the Boss...
Thanks, guys.
As much as I would have like to go the route of the Eureka, I can't say I've seen all the positive responses for it as I've found for the Pre73. You two tend to offer pretty top-notch advise. Thanks for weighing in.

Got an opportunity to pick up one of the following...

GAP Pre73 mk I
I liked the idea of using a channel strip, but feel like I could do any compression or EQing with plug-ins in the box. Thoughts?
I envy anyone that has been able to record ANYTHING, especially if you've gotten to a point of completion. Seems like my schedule doesn't let up, though I will say I'm mostly to blame.
The day job at the doctor's office keeps me busy 5 days per week. I left the good paying show band gig at the...
Thanks for the response.
I've been looking at different options. While I like the compressor and EQ plug-ins I've been using, I still find that some of the better results I've achieved have come from good preamp & EQ settings. Until recently, the only outboard compressor I had was an Alesis 3630...
I've been looking at channel strips lately, mostly in the used $300.00 to $400.00 range.
I'm interested in the Presonus Eureka and the dbx376, as they seem to have solid reviews, and I can get both in the price range I just specified.
Has anyone used either of these, and if so, did you like...
I've tried a few different preamps. Seems like the most solid preamp choice for my acoustic guitar (piezo only) or my dobro (has both a Lace Sensor and a piezo) turned out to be a tech21nyc Para Driver DI. My mandolin even sounds good through it.
This entire re-amping thread has been interesting.
I broke down and bought a Radial Eng. Pro RMP yesterday. My living situation isn't favorable for micing up amps while people are home, and it's hard to force creativity when I get time alone. Sometimes, I'm happy just to have the peace & quiet...
Over time, I've purchased some from Toontrack, GrooveMonkee, and OddGrooves.
All three companies offer pretty useful MIDI packs. They're also pretty good about answering questions, in case you have any.
If you know how to use the onboard MIDI editor, even the simplest file can be modified to...
I've got experience with the Oktava mk 319. It's a great microphone for the money, especially if you search Craigslist numerous times each day like I do. :D
I love the mk 319, as well as my Audio Technica 4040. I've used them in the following set-ups...
Mic > Focusrite Scarlet 8i6 > lap top...
THIS....This is applicable across the board for pretty much ANYthing you're doing.
A very useful reminder for any of us that get too wrapped up in the technology available.
I invested in the expansion packs for my XT Live. Not the best you ever heard, but certainly useful when demoing stuff. The bass expansion stuff has been a little useful, anyway.
I just don't have time to record much, it seems. :-/
Yup. What he said.
This is not something that you just decide to do. I worked in a band that had some sequenced songs when I joined, and others added along the way. It requires a full band practice to get accustomed to the tune.
This weekends awesome Craigslist deals...
Shure SM7B (3 months old)....$250.00
(I'd been trying to find one, but they go so quickly on CL)
Audio Technica 4033....$100.00
Could not turn away from this deal. Just could not.
Can't wait to record tonight! :)
