SteveSweeeeeeeeeeet! Surprisingly good price points. Looks like it would for me!
As a side note, though, it is funny how we can get the mind set that our
lowly keyboard and mouse are such crap controllers. The truth is you can
do a hell of a lot with them, and pretty easily, too, especially if you
take the time to set up macros. When I was doing a lot of dialog editing
I had an extensive set of macros written for Paris and I could work very
fast with my right hand on the jog wheel and my left on the keyboard.

and while it can be done I would prefer a controller. I had great fine control
in cubase using Shift/drag fader but I end up holding down the mouse clicker
for long times to write automation. Maybe there's an easier setting I'll
have to look up. I would like maybe 4 to 8 motorized faders though and I
think that would be grand.
JohnYup, the LS9 is pretty cool! Huge bang for the buck factor and sounds
great! Actually, the A/D board is the *same* for all the live consoles
from the LS9 to the PM5D-RH. For post, the O2R96 still beats it because
of the monitoring section.

PS, I am also on the "will never buy another Mackie product" list.

The only way to fight this, and I think it's already underway, is to inform
the pollies that without radio mics, and applicable frequencies, there will
be NO MORE DOORSTOPS, no more PRESSS CONFERENCES, and no more fast ways for
them to get their propaganda out to the masses, not to mention all the

Opinions?
TIA
DCApple charges 500.00 extra to get an 8-core MP over the 4.
Any real-world advantage for audio use?
TIA
DCI dunno about Variaxen as a belief system, they're merely clever
guitars. :^

y so it's easy to set up a patch with a couple of bass
strings and the rest as normal guitar tuning.
It would sound a little weird if you used the DSP to tune it up an
octave and play only the detuned sounds alone.
Bottom line, it's good enough for a lot of stuff, and it's instant. None
of the other guitars you mentioned offer it, so it's just icing on the
cake. I regularly do live multitracking with a normal guitar tuning, a
DADGAD tuning, a drop D tuning, a bass tuning and then throw a sitar
part on top, all without stopping to physically tune or switch instruments.
3) Mail order: If I had the option to send it back in case it had neck
problems or something, I'd consider buying mail order. But I prefer to
buy guitars from a store where I can play them (having said that, I've
purchased four guitars mail order/ebay and it's worked out OK except for
the Variax _Electric 700_, which has a loose whammy bar).
If you're really picky about neck radius and such, you'd want to play
_any_ guitar before you buy it. BTW, the Variax plays better than my
Ovation.
I played several _Acoustic 700_ guitars before buying mine, both played
well, sounded the same. However the one I took home developed a problem
on one string. The store (GC) exchanged it without question. The second
one has worked fine for several years. Except last week it cut out in
rehearsal. But unplugging the cable (which also carries power) and
plugging it back in fixed it.
The only chronic problem I've heard of on the _Acoustic 700_ is that
some were finished before the bridge was glued, causing the bridge to
rise up over time. I believe Line 6 fixes that for free if you get one
of those (or any luthier could probably reglue it). But that was several
years ago, probably not even a problem any more.
Finally, just to muddy the waters, Line 6 makes two other acoustic
models that are less expensive but lack some of the features of the
_Acoustic 700_ (no alternate tunings, I think). One is nylon strung, the
other steel. I have not played them. If you prefer the sound of nylon
strings, check that one out.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
-Jamie
