How to get and play this 80s brass lead sound?

I really like and want to be able to play that 80s lead brass type of sound. I posted vid below of a guy on youtube playing presets for a synth that he is showing off...anyways the sound and HOW he is playing certain presets is what I am very interested in and wanting to do. The presets I like the sound of and the HOW he is playing are listed below:

Good DI boxes?

Hey all,

I was looking around and couldn't find a thread on this(maybe I missed it). I was looking for a really good phantom powered, reamping DI box. What are some really good ones that are reliable. I would be interested in buying a tube DI as well. What are your thoughts?

I found some countryman type 85 on craigslist for cheap. Any feedback on this DI box?

Thanks,

How low can you go(on the levels when recording acoustic guitar)

I am Micing an acoustic guitar with 2 condensor mics(not the greatest, but fair), using an ART Tps II 2 channel preamp, and a Korg D888. In the past I felt I have recorded with the levels too loud, not peaking, but with the gain high enough that it creates a guitar tone that is far from what I desire. I have found at lower levels the tone is more natural and warmer.

Taking my first big step in music tech, sweaty palms?LOL :p

Morning all, Dave here.I've been aquiering musical equiptment for a long time now, but it's mainly instruments and amps speakers etc, liveness being the main theme. I've done a bit of recording at home before, but it's all been via 4 tracks, card readers, a desk with 16 line,multi core and stage box and a cheap Behringer analoge interface. The computer is armed with Audacity!
