Doesn't logic have a 'convert file to project' thing-a-ma-job?
This works on XP not on Vista, there are not many things that bother me about vista that's one of the biggest.

I find that there is a lot more room inbetween knobs, switches, buttons than on consoles which people have been using for decades with no problem.

clip on never sounds as good as mic stand w/ good mic clip. this is not true at all. (which is a preference anyway) I A/B'd 2 SM57's on the snare at the same time, 1 on a mic stand the other on a Latin Percussion Mic Claw. There was 3 of us testing it out, and we all thought they were close but the...

purchased today a 2-10 Avatar Bass cab that is actually louder than my ampeg Ampeg 4-10 400w RMS Avatar 2-10 500w RMS Not to be nit-picky (well, maybe a little 8) ), but wattage rating doesn't necessarily correspond to volume (SPL). Sure, you could throw 100 more watts at the cab, but you need a do...

The Redco cable should be good, I would also price check canare cable. I would never buy anything other than a Neutrik connector.

I've purchased Canare from www.markertek.com and I'm very happy with it, you can also compare on www.redco.com . I wouldn't touch monster cable, everything else on your list is good ( not sure about the ebay stuff) , I've also heard Gepco and Beldin is good but I have never used them.

i've made 2 guitar cables with my Canare Quad mic cable like you are saying. I believe that if you shake the cable around that it sends a bouncing sound through to the amp. Also I made these years ago and the 2 people I made them for still use them, they have not broken at all yet.
