Yeah, I can see where you guys are coming from with the not paying attention to lyrics. Usually if the words sound cool, I can look past the fact that it seems random, like Beck or Pavement. But usually I can get the feeling even with all the randomness -- or not even the lyrics themselves, but...

Nice to hear from you again. I remember fondly when I stumbled upon your analog recordings. Any chance you'll resurrect the "Under the Ashes" song (get it?)? I like the simplicity of it. Yeah, didn't notice anything with the reverb, sounds right. Did you record guitar with just the NT-3?

I have a Roland Cube 15 and a Yamaha Pacifica 112. Would a Behringer hum destroyer eliminate this hum? My Roland Cube has a 2 prong, not a 3 prong cable. Is this the reason why it hums, or is it just a case of having a single coil guitar?

I'm looking to get an external preamp, since I'm not looking to totally ditch my Firebox yet. Oh yeah, and I also want to try recording vocals with a dynamic mic (I've attempted with an SM57, but I don't get enough gain, even with the boost in the PreSonus mixer. Would I just need a TRS cable...

I recently re-downloaded this free software sampler to use as a VST plugin for Reaper. One thing I haven't figured out how to do, or if I can even do at all, is route all the layers to the 24 MIDI tracks that Reaper (and Cubase) create whenever I create a load an Indie Free VST into an...

man I really wish I hadn't lost my other X-Q. I think most of the problem with my recording with them last time was not positioning the bottom end mic in the right place. no one knows when the x-v's coming out this year?

Yeah, I googled "double insulated dell" and I browsed through some forums and have read that some people have gotten mild tingles from using 2 prong adapters and having to upgrade to 3, so I'll probably get the behringer. This means I'll need 2 more 1/4 to 1/4 cables, right?

Would a ground lift adapter do the trick? There's one online for $0.98. Also, would it be safe?

Double insulated? Does that mean a 3-prong adapter plugging into the power socket? My dell's power supply is 3-prong. Could the issue be that my Firebox AC adapter is only 2-prong and therefore isn't grounded? Do you know of any expresscards that are powered through the laptop? Thanks for the...

I used to have it on an Windows XP desktop, but recently got a new Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop, no firewire included, so I had to get a Texas Instruments 34mm Expresscard. I assumed that since I have a laptop now, I should make sure to plug in the Firebox to an external power source. I read...

Would they work for stereo miking an acoustic guitar? I've tried the x-q's and the high end was making my cedar top sounding thin.

Looking at the specs, it says that it also functions as an audio interface. Does this mean I still need an amp to record electric guitar DI? I'm new to recording electric guitar.

Is there some sort of special stand or shockmounts I need to record in stereo with two large diaphragms?

Are all the sliders and knobs set all the way to the left?

I've figured out how to get the first four measures of a song to display the correct beats, but how do I apply it to the rest of the song?

I have an Alesis Micron and am looking to accompany a friend in an open-mic setting.

Yeah, thanks Thurgood for those things to keep in mind. I'd say that the amp would function as a practice amp, recording amp, and performing amp for coffeehouses.

Yeah, I'm definitely going to check out my local guitar center and try them out and see which one I like better. I think I want to play something along the lines of Radiohead, My Bloody Valentine, or Silversun Pickups. So maybe distortion for the purpose of ethereal tones, not ripping the ears...

Thanks for the suggestion! I'm checking out a youtube video of it in action. Sounds really great. I'm also reading up on some reviews of it. Unfortunately, I'm trying to find something I can get used, as I'm strapped for cash. I'm actually planning on trading in a mic and my acoustic guitar in...
