what is the easiest and cheapest way to send a fx send to a guitar fx stompbox, what should I do to match the instrument level, do I absolutely need to buy a reamping box?

thanks

after twisting and contorting my spine into all sorts of positions rewiring hookups behind my rack, I think it's time to invest in a patchbay.

I'm seriously interested in a Mackie Control but I have a major question first. I do all my monitoring through an external desk, a Mackie D8b to be precise. Because I do this I have my buffer set to 2048 as latency isn't an issue and I get more out of my computer out of my computer. I can't remember the exact figure of latency but it is roughly 48 ms.

so for a long time ive been asking for a midi controller for my daw, that will do only the most basic of transport controls preferably for under $200 and it must have a jog wheel. first slap in the face to this hope of mine was the bheringer controls that did every thing BUT what i want. and now this.

I have both the 1820m and the 0404 digital audio cards, running Cubase SX2.x. Is it possible to use the PatchMix app on both cards, installed on the same system. Or do I have to except the fact that the 0404 cards needs to be decommissioned.

Anyone know?

Im trying to be smart and do research. I get good feeback from everyone on this site, but theres one question thats seems to get me stomped. Is pro-tools better for me in the long run or not.

Well I have been toying with PTLE for a couple years now. I think I have come to the conclusion that bass and guitar sound better recorded direct. with stuff like the GT8 and Voice tonelabs and 24bit stereo tracks and sansamp its hard to screw up. Most you guys record direct, or Amps? If amps,then how many mics/tracks. Big amps or smaller ones?

Can I get some feed back on this. they have the same converters used in digi design hardware.

Hello guys,
Well, I`m in trouble with my Behringer Mixer UB802, I'll describe my equipment below

Software:
- Saw Pro 2.8

Hardware:
- Behringer Mixer UB802
- Sound Card M-Audio Quattro Pro USB
- Headphones AKG K-55
- Mic Sennheiser

I own a pair of Sennheiser HD-280s and they work very well. Everything is fine except that my ears get extremley hot and sweaty, and this is very uncomfortable.

I would like to know how people usually deal with this problem, or if I am the only hot-eared wierdo on the forum.

Thanks.
