Re: New user looking for recording suggestions..

I use the xl7 to controll a emuE5000 as well as my digitech studio 
quad.  I use a behringer quad gate to keep the noise floor down on 
the fx unit. I use the fx in line off the two sub outs off the xl7 
only.  I sum all of it into an alesis mixer.  Then off the main outs 
of the mixer i go into a beringer tube composer, it is a gate then a 
compresor-limiter-tube exciter.  I use a behringer ultra curve ex 
side chained with the compressor to make shur that things are 
compresed with out pumping and breathing.  then off of that into a 
MAudio sound card into the pc with wave lab.  Phew*

that is how i do it.  I set it up this way so i can pick up and go 
out to the club with out my head exploding each time.  takes me 
about 15 min to set up my live pa in a clup now thanks to a wack of 
soldering.

Just one more way of doing things.
