My home setup currently is a four track recorder and an analog mixer so no wav files and computer screens for me. I am currently integrating a digital mixer into my setup so I will be looking at a screen but not a computer screen. I do use DAW rigs all the time so I do still work with wav files very...

A spindle of blank CD's and every kind of connection adapter that I can get my hands on!

Check this out http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vfH-8oMMT9U its a video we shoot when Wes Dooley came and demonstrated his mics for us! I would be interested to see if it works as well for LDC's! I am going to use this technique later today to track some guitar and vocals so I will try out some LDC's!...

This is a cool little piece of gear! It is most definitely a one trick pony but it does that one trick very well!

Anytime I have recorded a pedal steel I have always mic'ed up the amp! I have just never felt the need to DI a pedal steel as it seems like it would take away from the organic feel of the instrument! But it seems in this business there is no right or wrong answer so experiment and have fun! Cheers, ...

I can't wait to hear this!!!

I would check out the Tascam VL-A5's they are a great sounding monitor and are very affordable! They have a very clear representation of what you are listening to not an overly hyped high and low end!
