Like many previous posters have stated my willingness to purchase or use Line6 products depends on my need. Playing live i've used Line 6 gear quite a bit. For me it was easy to use a lot of different tones and effects with a very easy set up and didn't take a whole lot of stage room (some...

You mean egg cartons are bad??? Cause i read a person who had thousands of posts on the message board so he's obviously qualified, and HE said that egg cartons were just as good at 703, and recommended that i cover my whole house with 'em to make the tv, radio, and every audio source sound...

I don't know that you did miss anything, that's a pretty solid walkthrough and a good way to start.

I've used the 4040 and it was OK but my next vocal mic will be a 4060 without a doubt, it does a great job with acoustic guitar also.

I personally would recommend something like a Great River ME-1NV or a Brent Averill BAE 312a (you can get two channels version with the power supply for $1800), but those are two units that i've used and enjoyed. Everyone on the board will have their own opinions of what sounds best or what is...

Although i've have no personal experience with it, i've heard several people say good things about the ART ProMPA. I've used the M audio Dmp3 and it was okay for the price but some people might prefer the sound of the preamps in the mackie over that so my recommendation would be to see if you...

As in Richards case, I think if your guitar has a blend of an internal mic as part of the pickup system then the odds of getting a more "usable" sound via direct increase dramatically. That said i typically go the two mic approach, one condenser getting the sound off of the body near the sound...

I agree completely. Having said that if you intend to record other people with various styles, simulators can be usable and useful, but may not sound as good. I've used Line6 stuff more than any other sim, and a few of the tones were easy to work with but a lot of them required a lot of work...

I agree with the previous posts. It can definitely take it, and it'll sound awesome (this of course is assuming that the amp / cab you're placing it in front of doesn't sound like poo... cause no mic fixes that)

I agree. Start with the basics, the things you KNOW you're going to have to do anyway, then use your ears, then analyze and adjust.

Do you remember where you got that deal? It seems that most places that i've found it's more expensive than that. I ask because i intend to make an investment in some in the next month or two. As for Carsoste's problem, i have dealt with companies that charged more to include PRINTED...

several great mic choices listed here. For those on a very tight budget that want an alternative to an sm57 for a close mic on a guitar cab, i'm a fan of of the senheiser e609. Slightly dif tone than the 57 and therefore in some cases it might fit your needs better.

Although i have no experience with them, there are some plugin's available that might do the job for you. Given the format it might be easier to apply after the fact and get the sound that you want. Of course i'm basing this on the assumption that the plugins are as good as the hardware gear...

I've also used an AT4040 at the bottom of the guitar and have had good results. I got better results with the AT4060 but that's much more expensive. For a sound up on the neck that you can blend with it, i worked with a producer that got good sounds using a shotgun mic pointed along the neck...

differences... one of them has a shockmount (sorry that's sarcasm) If i remember right they're pretty much the same, i think they changed the grill a bit but i don't think there was any major change, but it's been so long since i've really looked at it that i could be completely wrong. I've...

40 seconds into the video it mentions that you can use the gr-20 to send midi to a keyboard which means you could do the same with a sampler so you could load your own sounds into a sampler and have the gr-20 controlling it via midi. If i was going to use it i'd probably load the samples i...

Solid advice. Chava I can't remember the last time i did a noise reduction to vocals and I tend to get skeptical anytime someone says they "always" do something like noise reduction.

Occasionally you'll find some strange deal like this at musicians friend where they will sell one piece of gear for a price, but you can also find it elsewhere on their site with some accessory or an additional piece of gear for the same price or less. Example: Once they listed a gibson...

In addition to what others have said, here's a pop filter that has worked well for me. http://www.stedmancorp.com/pages/ps101.html It's metal rather than some type of cloth and it actually directs the air coming out of your mouth downward and away from the mic to avoid the popping and doesn't...

I'm not familiar with that unit, but i looked briefly in Line 6's site and it doesn't say that the inputs are balanced (which it may say somewhere and i just missed it). If that's the case then you may have the same noise issue or loss of quality issue that Zeppe was talking about. If it is...
