  2. what does jeff use as expression pedals for his delay(s)? they look like ernie balls but i dint know they made exp pedals???

     

    you can use ernie ball volume pedals (or just about any volume pedal for that matter) as expression if you connect them correctly and the resistance is correct.

  3. I've done the same thing, only I'm now into the "hand over the hard drive" portion of the project. Total transferability of sessions. However, when it comes time to hand over your demos to someone, make sure to save your session as a session copy with all the audio files included. Otherwise, they won't be there when your demos get opened. There is a little check box in Protools when you select "Save Session Copy In."

     

    also, if you know you and your buddy are running different versions of PT you can save as a copy that will open in older versions, if memory serves correctly, by clicking the "session format" drop-down menu in the save dialog box.

     

    chances are you won't have the exact same plugins, so some of them may become inactive when opening on the other PT setup - don't remove them! just wait until you are back on your original setup and re-instantiate them and your settings will be recalled.

     

    if you ARE getting an external, i would highly advise against USB, even if it does seem to work fine for some people - firewire ultimately streams data more efficiently and is less of a CPU strain. USB adds additional system overhead because of the way it is designed to work - the CPU handles all arbitration functions and dictates data flow (and when working with audio you need to keep as much CPU power as possible dedicated to processing / playback / recording, not just moving data from point A to point B.) Firewire is designed to provide a constant, reliable stream of data, which is exactly what you need for audio. Think of it as a steady stream of water as opposed to short bursts of water from a showerhead, or something. For audio, you need a steady stream. Hopefully that makes sense.

     

    Also, if you use a USB drive for tracking audio, it is bound to fail faster because of all the 'start/stop' bursts of activity.

     

    In my setup I use 2 Lacie "Porsche" externals, a 7200 Firewire dedicated for only recording (250 GB in 3 partitions), and a 7200 USB 2.0 that i use only for backup / storage.

  4. yeah - it has nothing to do with anything except what's coming out of your guitar. if your guitar doesn't have active pickups (which i hope to god it doesn't :stunned) then it would be pointless to get the active pedal because it is designed for a different resistance.

     

     

    i think...

  5. its ryan adams for christ sake, who cares

     

    echo that. and to be honest, i like ryan adams. but don't we know enough by know to know not to get our panties in a bunch over stuff like this? if it was one of your buddies doing this when he was a bit tipsy on a saturday night he'd get a barrel of laughs, but just because of the wilco line everybody's all up in arms. come on, if anything he's just jealous...

  6. i've suffered from both of them, and even before i got into Wilco

     

    i know it wasn't your intention, but this made me chuckle a little bit because i got an image of somebody turning wilco on and suddenly becoming stricken with panic attacks and anxiety disorder. i have had acute anxiety attacks as well, and i wouldn't be surprised if the reason people like us are drawn to the music of jeff has at least something to do with that.

  7. i've owned a couple cij tele's, and just to echo what was said before, the craftsmanship is great, but be wary of the electronics. there's a lot of great CIJ deals on ebay, but i'd have a hard time picking another one up without playing it first.
