So, I haven't been very active on the forums in a while, which is because I've gotten a job and worked my behind off
Because of that, though, I'm gonna get a pretty sweet paycheck soon, and my recordings in my current "Guitar -> Marshall MG30DFX -> Line In" on my soundcard sounds pretty crap unless I spend an huge amount of time mixing and equalizing stuff... After which it only sounds less crap. I know most of the problem probably lies in the Schecter I'm shredding (*cough cough*) on, but that'll be replaced by a LTD Eclipse or an Ibanez of sorts in the future ^^ So I'm gonna buy me an interface of some sorts, and I haven't really gotten into all the different kinds of boxes I can buy. So I'm basicly looking for recommendations for anything that might be pretty decent. Currently I'm leaning towards the Line 6 Pod Studio at the moment, since I've heard that one can record vocals as well... Any thoughts? -------------------- GMC is not just a website...

I can recommend line6 pod studio ux1 for its price quality and versatility and most of all - ease of use. I use it for all my home recording needs and works well.

EMU 1212m has top notch converters - it is just an interface though and you would need a separate mic amp if you wanted to record vocals ... I have a 1212m coupled with a twintrak pro.

I think a Line6 device will work fine for the mostpart. I'm using a Line6 X3 Live as sound interface and it's perfect if you can settle for only one XLR input.
It's got all the basic needs like - 1 XLR mike input - 1 instrument input - L/R live out - L/R direct out - phones - Aux in - MIDI in and out - S/PDIF out - FX loop - USB connection The only thing I miss is to have another XLR input but for the most part it's a great interface fo a guitarist. -------------------- My bands homepage

Line 6 POD Studio sounds just like the device you need. It's plug & play, and very usable, you can't go wrong with it definitely.
If you want something better, go for EMU0404USB, or EMU1616m -------------------- - Ivan's Video Chat Lesson Notes HERE

I said it before, and I say it again: EMU interfaces is top-notch fot the price You pay, and if You got a good sound in the amp, just put a mic in front of it.....

If you want to get a Line 6, (good choice) spring for a UX2 straight off!
