Bear in mind it's an early revision with two inputs rather than a single input and a selector - also, it probably doesn't have speakons. Probably not a dealbreaker at that price, though! Footswitch.. I had mine for a couple of years and never used the footswitch. Very handy if your setup requires it, though.[/quote] tbh I'm not too bothered about the speakons, My vba400 didnthave them so I've got a couple of jack to speakon leads about. Is there any other difference between the early models and the new ones?

Hi all, Ive just sold my current rig, so im looking for a new one. I was looking at a lmiii and I was set on it. Now I may be able to get my hands on an m-pulse 600 for rather cheap, I've never played through one and need to make a decision rather quickly. Is it worth jumping in and getting the mesa or do you think I should just buy the lmii? Any help would be great.

[quote name='deathpanda' post='802697' date='Apr 11 2010, 03:39 PM']I would also like to know how I can get a decent bass recording using the stuff I have. Instead of making my own thread I hope it's okay that I post this in your thread. Anyway, I have an edriol interface, and a bass. That's literally all my recording hardware, the rest unfortunately is software. Which brings me to my point, I've been using amplitube ever since I got the interface, and whilst it's amazing for guitar, with bass it doesn't sound good at all. The bass heads and cabs are terrible, but they're good for acoustic guitar. I've tried using just cabinet impulses, and no matter how much EQ or compression I use, I can't for the life of me get a good bass tone, and it sounds even worse in the mix. I know it's not my basses, I can get great tones out of them with my amp. I don't have any mics for the amp, and I don't think I'll have the money for one any time soon... Does anyone have any tips? Perhaps someone has the same kinda set up as me and can share their bass recording method? As always, any help would be appreciated![/quote] Which version of amplitube are you using? Ampeg svx is rather good for me

I'm selling a marshall vba400, which is great for heavier stuff Looking for about £600 with an mbc410 cab as well

[quote name='chrisd24' post='798466' date='Apr 7 2010, 10:35 AM']Im pretty new to the world of home recording, and to be honest a little overwhelmed with how much kit there is out there, which leads up to my question! I want something to record with....ideally with the ability to record at least 4 tracks simultaneously, i have been looking at usb desks but it seems that only some of these (although they have 10/14 tracks on them) will only record on a couple at a time....i have a pretty quick pc and can usually get my head around the most complex of software so don't see that side of things being an issue....so in short....What desk/usb interface am i best with?....im sure some opinions differ from others....my budget is anything up to £300/350.....Thanks in advance for any replies........and apologies for being a complete newb![/quote] I've just got myself an m-audio fastrack ultra 8r and as fars as im concerned its awsome. It can record 8 channels simultaniously, and its about £270 [url="http://www.dv247.com/computer-hardware/m-audio-fast-track-ultra-8r-usb-2-0-audio-interface--50046"]http://www.dv247.com/computer-hardware/m-a...nterface--50046[/url] If thats too many channels Theres its little brother the fast track ultra which only has 4 mic preamps in.

If your going to be mixing then its probably worth getting the mk1's as they have a pretty flat frequency response and wont colour the sound, therefore you get a truer representation of the sound. Hifi speakers are generally biased towards certain frequencies to make the music sound nicer to the ear.

[quote name='EdwardHimself' post='788517' date='Mar 28 2010, 02:11 PM']thanks, but to be honest i'd rather avoid any M-Audio stuff from now on. Not really happy with their customer service. If i was going to go down the active monitor route i was thinking of getting something like these: [url="http://www.thomann.de/gb/alesis_m1_aktiv_monitor_mk_ii.htm"]http://www.thomann.de/gb/alesis_m1_aktiv_monitor_mk_ii.htm[/url] which i know are more expensive then i said i had but if i'm getting speakers as well then i want them to be good quality, if that makes sense?[/quote] I have those monitors, and bang for buck they are rather good. Are you going to be mixing tracks?
