Location: south east Michigan | Well, things don't seem quite so desperate today.
I'm recording guitar & vocals together and adding a third track of harmony.
I think I can say that I've scratched the proverbial surface.
Between amp models and stomp box effects there are a ba-ga-zillon different guitar sound options. Then after that you have the same number of choices on the vocal track. When I do find a combination I like it's going to be hell remembering all the settings.
I am very happy about one thing. For a long time I have not had much practical use for the Breadwinner. Now I can see that there will be some opportunities to put it to use. |

GuitarBox has a "save settings for future refference" feature..... I just have to figure out how to use it. |

Location: south east Michigan | The "save settings" feature is not part of the main "File", "Save", "Save As" dropdown menue. It has it's own little dialog box right in GearBox. It won't be hard to figure out once I need to.
Thanks for the suggestion there, Loretta. |

Location: Issaquah, WA | Oh lord, this is timely. I have been eyeing how to get a little home recording setup, you know, go digital, play with it a little. But this thread has convinced me to go back and figure out how to plug the mic into the back of my old casette deck. Like somebody said earlier, I thought technology was going to make our lives easier?
And by the way, it's 2008. Where's my jet-pack? |

Tim...
Here us a LINK to the Line6 forum thread that was very helpful.
And there was some good help HERE at Studio Central. |

That is until I clicked the link to the Line6 forum and it didn't work... :D
Did they upgrade the forum? If you really found it helpful, I'll have to re-visit it and see what's changed from when I was there the first time. |

Try to copy and paste this...

It works as "copy & paste" but not as a link.
Stupid technology. :mad: |

Location: Tidal Mudflats of Virginia | Well, I'm trying a slightly different route than Brad. I running the UX2 using the Gearbox software then trying to interface it with my PowerTracks Pro Audio 8. I'm a little more comfortable with PT8 and I want to see what I can come up with before trying Reaper or the Live Lite 5 software. |

Power Tracks is great software for the price, which has always been low. PGMusic, same company that does Band In A Box. |
