So say you have drums or vox on a seperate bus that feeds to you master (and master ultimately to your playback device... be it MBox, FirePod, Digi, whatever)... when you remove the master fader, do you just route the other busses to your playback (I assume yes)... I really want to see if the same h...

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the inputs on the back are not affected by the gain knobs on the front for channels 1 & 2, are they? Unfortunately they are. Leaving them at zero will make sure not to add any gain within the FirePod avoiding any "color" (or lack of) the stock Firepod pres might add. ME...

Damn, Brett... I thought using 7 mics on Ryan Mann's 3-piece was overkill! :)

You can send to any of the 8 outs in the back via routing in your DAW, then just feed it to the reverb, and back in through the balanced line in on Input 1 or 2 on the BACK, making sure the gain on the front is turned all the way down.

I've only got 512M and the FirePod has never let me down... Sonar (on my machine) might bind up, but as long as your not running a bunch of ITB effects going into Logic or whatever (while tracking), you'll be gravy... I used to run mine on only 256M of RAM and still had no probs with the Pod itself....

I've got my firepod on a 1.2gHz PC from WalMart... your Mac will be fine.

The guys in Mock Orange (can't find weblink, but several videos on YouTube) put out an album a year or so ago (maybe more) called "Mind Is Not Brain" that kicks my ass daily and nightly... I can't say I'm a giant "fan" of theirs, but I love this record and I definately bump into these guys at the lo...

I've got a Squier Jagmaster and it rules... of course someone replaced the pickups with whatever's in a standard SG, but it's a great feeling guitar.

www.mikeportnoy.com I think that's where it's still at... you can play his enitre purple monster kit via a neat flash thing... great for wasting a ton of time. There was also this site that someone posted on here a few months back that let you build basically an entire song online via a flash thingy...

Are you bothered by the sound or just the "look" of the waveform... it looks bad, sure, but does it sound bad... turn off your monitor... does it still sound bad?

One of the big limitations of USB (even USB 2.0) is its inability to send more than 2 tracks (or 1 stereo track) at a time - just like you have now. Additionally, latency can become and issue in a hurry when your project starts getting into multiple tracks. USB just isn't a big enough pipeline for ...

Tascam US-428... 4-onboard pres, 8 channel control surface, all kinds of fun little knobs you can program to do whatever... I just happen to have one for sale for $100 (+ shipping) if you care to look them up and see if it's what you're looking for.
