If you're not a studio owner I'd ask for a refund

It's a very handy tool to have in your plug-in collection if you do a lot of recording. I have used it on artists I recorded who were 99% there but one or two notes were a fraction off and the program scanned the entire vocal track and fixed the imperfections. One time in particular was an opera singer and I couldn't use the "imperfections make the song better" theory because it really wouldn't have in this particular case. Not fixing it would have made the song worse and the singer had to take off so re-scheduling for two notes would have been a waste of time so I fixed it without even telling him and he just assumed he sang it perfect.

As Mykozo mentioned many artists use pitch correction... most likely, even your favorite band. It can also be applied to any single note instrument, not just singing... but I wouldn't recommend that, especially if there are a lot of single notes in a single measure (may confuse the plug-in and start sounding weird).

It's cool... I'll keep posting when I feel a piece of equipment is relevant or could help a fellow musician/studio engineer. I like to give back to the community when I can ;)

That's pretty fucking awesome that these old Ampegs go for like $300. Might as well buy one just to try it. Once I sell my crappy old strat I will have the scratch.

I'm expecting the '68 Mustang to come in soon, will post pics although it's not 'bragable' until I get the finish fixed.

And once all this is done, broke I will be. But you can't play a bank account, right?

I always hate spending a bunch all at one time. I'm always worried I'll see something awesome later.

I'd only really be worried if the later thing was an awesome deal, in which case I'd raise the necessary funds with the quickness. I've got a mental list of stuff I want to own or try at some point in my life, I don't have it all now but I figure I'll obtain it at some point, so I'm not worried about missing out on a particular piece in a single instance in most cases.

I feel like I have too much stuff right now actually, I wanna get the band playing regularly and on tour so I feel like I'll deserve it more. You don't wanna be the guy who has a little guitar center in his basement but can't write a decent song. hope that makes sense.

It's small and cheap and looks cool, would make a great clean amp I think. Even if it is solid state

Johnny Ramone Plexi anyone? If I ever get another Marshall it will be one of these I think.

Saw this thing on Rondo Music recently:

:lol:

If there was ever a guitar destined to be used for video game covers, this would be it, I think.

Rondo can be awesome... just stay away from their acoustic guitars, I heard they were terrible.
