tips...043.
a little tip if your on a tight budget.
re sound devices.
i needed another little roughing out songs rig.
anyhoo to cut a long story short.
i got a toneport gx for it not expecting much .
this unit is 70 buks n frankly floored me for the money.
its a combo device. its more than just a sound device.
its a sound device/mic processor/guitar input/guitar amp emulations built in
plus mic pre emulations built in.
i expected latency.
ran a test in ptw yesterday just useing bog standard mme , no probs.
all lined up. flawless install in xp.
its an asio device but ran great in standard mme.
so i didnt bother with asio.
loaded up an old ptw project , recorded a track no probs.
even the MS synth came thru fine in the mix.
(this unit has no midi).
as always caveat emptor. do your own testing n make sure you can return
within 30 days. if a prob with your pc.
but for me.works flawless.
it has so many fx n guitar cab emulations built in its daft.
its a lotta fun just plugging in a guitar n wailing away.
yesterday it gave me in the space of an hour 10 more new song ideas.
note...to use a pro xlr mic with it, just use a xlr>>qtr inch convertor.
oh.by the way looked at ptw meters on input.
this is a low noise device.
its usb which surprised me.
count me surprised.
god bless.
ps.a tip instead of useing its phone out , plug gx stereo out into a proper powerfull
headphone amp. turn down the backing , turn up the the headphone amp when doing vocs.
i even sang thru a guitar cab emulation for some neato recorded sounds.
BUT DO YOUR OWN TESTING. what works for me might not for you.
