I've been taking this amino acid called NAC and even in loud situations I haven't felt even mild tinitus... my hearing never feels fatigued after a day of recording either (maybe my brain though :P). You may be interested in taking it... it's not too expensive.
Here's an article...
Compression won't make the kick uniform... like everyone said, go download the free drumagog demo at www.drumagog.com and see if you can understand it... it's a great program and worth it's price.
Music is math... I'm not one to tell anyone they can't do anything, but the new generation of audio engineers (at least the successful ones) are going to be the guys who can do it all. You're going to need to easily and quickly understand math, computer programming, business, and electrical...

God this is ridiculous... the behringer B1 will sound as good on your piano as any sub $200 MXL or studio projects large diaphragm mic. It may break after a year if you don't take care of it... so take care of it but I don't think these people have even used it. If you have more money then...
Hey man.. just so you know I was trying to sell my firepod here about a month ago and didn't even get any bites on $460 shipped so you may want to lower your price if you actually are trying to move it.
The POD and Flextone II were impressively disappointing to me... both went back to the GC (and I got a great deal on the Flextone II so it was pretty hard)... I also had a mesa rectifier... went back too. I finally settled on the peavey XXL (you could do the XXX). That beat out the rectifier...
I think the multiface is wonderful... you could probably score one for 500-600 off ebay and have 8 inputs and SPDIF and ADAT capabilities when you need them.
