    Great points made, David. There can certainly be a place for these kinds of sounds. The Stones always seemed to have that drunken out of tune sound in their playing too that made it sound so cool. Bill Frisell is a master at dealing with the s...(more)

    After market is not such a bad idea. Guitar margins on lower models may be so slim that to implement the BF system would possibly cause problems in either pricing or margin decisions for the manufacturer. Since I have used the same string ga...(more)

    Think of it this way. Next time someone googles anyone on that list, our names will pop up on one of the search pages. Nothing like gorilla marketing. ;) Jim

    <i>It's my understanding that the note of the treble register then become more in tune with the upper harmonics of lower notes, so the fundamental tones may not be perfectly in tune, but the overall effect is more consonant.</i> Yes, it is perf...(more)

    I kind of like the fact that it is not on all guitars. ;) Just wait until you play with someone without it. They will immediately know that there is something wrong with their guitar. Then you can tell them your little secret... Jim

    Hey Bill, I have not tried any multi since it is usually just me on the tracks. But, I did have a DAW computer built for me, a Q6600 quad overclocked to 3000 mHz which is an awesome setup. Jim Roseberry made it for me from www.studiocat.com ...(more)

    In that case you would use the line inputs. For example if you tested the mic through the unit without the mixer and was happy, then no need for the mixer. But since you have the ability to adjust eq in your mixer but not on the interface an...(more)

    I'd go play on the necks you are interested in before making a decision. Maybe you have, but that would be a big change. Good luck. Jim

    The preamp is great as far as audio to digital conversion. That usually is key. But remember, this is pretty much like a line-in device as are all similar products. You may need a nice mixer for eq and other elements unless you plan to do the...(more)

    Shad, I have the firepod aka FP10. I'm very happy with it. If you have a bit more $$ to spend the Firestudio may be a better unit. Check the stats between the two. One thing I did was to create a clean partition of winxp which has absolutel...(more)

    Hey Carl, You are probably going to hate this suggestion, but what I would do if I had difficulty hearing a harmony part is to start writing down the solo, the underlying chords and just take it one note at a time until you begin to chart a cou...(more)

    FWIW, I use Sonar. I have for years. I'm very happy with the performance and where Cakewalk has taken the software in recent years. By now I have so much to work with, I'm overloaded. But I know it is something I can grow into for years to c...(more)

    Wish I could be there to watch the expression on your face! :) It will be a completely different guitar. You are going to love your new sounds. Jim
