Commenting Problem

Under the heading of “It’s Always Something!”, there has been a problem of comments being posted and displaying on the left hand side under “Recent Comments” but not showing up on the posts. I’ve been wrestling with it for the last couple of days to no avail. Thank good goodness for tech support at Synhosting.com, they always manage to stamp out the MLR bugs when I can’t seem to figure it out! Best web host ever!

Anyway it was the plugin that allows editing of comments. A recent upgrade caused the problem so no editing of comments until I go back to an earlier version or find something else.

Thanks for your patience!

Money For Nothing – Chicks For Free

A thread popped up over at Jungle Punks about making music and getting paid for it. I think we can all agree that we got into music for the love of it but we all want to be paid and we all expect to be paid. How much we get paid is something else again. Regardless, I think most of us would continue to make music if money was suddenly taken out the equation.

I’ve moved those comments over here.

Knee surgery – Down but not out!

Day 1 – 10-26-2011

Been having a problem with one knee for the last year and it blew out about three weeks ago. Had surgery today so I might be slow in getting back to people and keeping up with my e-mail. Just wanted to let everyone know that I’m not ignoring anyone if they are trying to get in touch.

Day 2 – 10-27-2011

Thanks everyone for your kind thoughts. It’s been a hell of a last 24 hours but I’m hanging in there.

Back to the couch and catching up on old Brit shows “Frost” and “House Of Cards”. My English roots run deep!

Day 3 – 10-28-2011

Up early and feeling pretty good. Thank God for Robin. She is an angel and spoiling me big time. This would be tough to do without someone tending to you, especially the first couple of days.

Thanks again for everyone’s good wishes!

Day 4 – 10-29-2011

Feeling pretty good. Knee gets better every day so I will retire this thread soon. Thanks again everyone for your kind words.

Calling All Guitar Players

I’ve been thinking awhile about this post. What are you guitar players using for recording in terms of instruments, amps, amp emulators, acoustic guitars and mics. I, for one, am never satisfied with my sound, though I’m not sure, at times, what I’m looking for!

Right now I have a Fender VG (Virtual Guitar). It has some nice features with drop, alternate tunings and faux (very faux) acoustics. My goto amp emulator is Nigel on my UAD-1 card. Have NI Guitar Rig Lite but don’t particularly like it. Was going to purchase the AXE-FX II but that $2500 price tag is very steep. I recently tried out the demo of Scuffham Amps S-Gear (PC only) and for $75 it’s very nice.

For acoustic I have a Martin D-18 and use various mics. Neuman U-89, AKG-414 or Shure SM7. I never get an acoustic sound I’m happy with so any tips there would be welcome.

For a mic-pre I have the Manley Labs Langevin or sometimes use the mic ins on my MOTU 828 MK3.

So, what are all you guitar players using for your recording setup?
