hadn't heard...

I had not heard about Vic until I just read this post. I had the pleasure of hanging out with him when the band I work for (Son Volt) did an in-store with him in Baltimore about 5 years ago.

I have the luxury of havi...

Stereo Live tracks...

In case you are not looking to invest in an interface/playback device with more extensive outputs options: Keep in mind that even in venues that are running a PA in stereo, many live engineers would not hard pan individual instruments. Unless the instruments provide only minor differences from one s...
