Hey guys. I've been using an m-audio firewire solo http://www.oulunsoitinjatarvike.fi/kauppa/kuvat/atk/m-audio/firewire_solo.jpg for quite a while now, and, since I have nothing else to compare it with, I have had no gripes with it. Until now. Basically, I record classical guitar with a single mic right now (I run through the preamp and then into Audacity software with firewire cable), but I want to put my other mics to use as well. I'd love to try out stereo miking. Thus, I need a mixer with at least 2 XLR inputs (+ the 1/4" inputs) with phantom power on both. I would also need stereo outputs. I guess this leads to another quick question: can I stick in the two left/right cables into those "1/4in. unbalanced line inputs" on the back of the m-audio preamp and expect to see two separate tracks on Audacity? Heh, I'm pretty new to all of this; I'm pretty sure it would work, but just to be sure Also, I'll be using a laptop in conjunction with all of this equipment (bah that brings me to another question. Will using a firewire-adaptor expresscard to connect the m-audio preamp hurt the sound quality at all?). Mmhmm, so the mixer shouldn't be a ginormous monstrosity. So, you guys got any recommendations? or even tips would be nice.

personally, i think drums would take away from the whole thing. but an acoustic bass imo would be nice

i love the bass. at 0:39 - 0:50, i personally would prefer a more legato-ish sounding guitar. but that's just me.

find someone to jam with. play your chords while he solos. then copy him.

actually, that "flub" was intentional, but it didnt sound the way i wanted to. i was stretching the string so that it would start on that note but actually end a halfstep up, but my muscles for doing that were weak back then

heh viola. I concur. After 7 years of playing it, I personally prefer its sound over the violin's. Sure, people might crack jokes at you for being a violist (since most violists suck), but if you enjoy it, then who cares.

Hey i have about 300-500$ to spend on a unidirectional mic for recording guitar (both classical and acoustic). Do you guys have any suggestions?
