Recording Problem..and Gibson J185 problem
Ok, I know Im no engineer, but I have my Lexicon compressor/effects unit and I can't figure a way to go from my mic to it. It doesn't have the same input that I need. Do I go from recorder to compressor to recorder and use the recorder as a pre-amp?
I know what you will say "Get the Ableton and you wont have these problems". I think I will go to the music store and get something but what I will get I don't know.
2nd, When I play my Gibson J185 I can't hear the high notes when I play it. Not only while I play but when I record you can't hear it. I use the compressor/equalizer that's built in to the Boss1600 but I don't think I should need to. Is there an adjustment to it?

Thanks for the support Michael...I'm on my way..day 1 of 30....yeah
Michael,
I just ordered one of those Lexicon MX200 thingy's, hope it works for me.
I found getting a good condensor mic was the thing. It really picks up the highs. I also run a line from the guitar direct to the board since I have a pickup, and this 2nd track I can mix with a little more top-end, keeping the mic'd guitar for deep end. Accoustics are very difficult to record, there is lots of natural mid-range. I usually take a lot of Mid range out right off the bat.
No worries on White City mate. I have that one. Take care of yourself.
Hey Michael,
Hope you had a great Christmas and waiting for those kids' photos!
I'm watching Pete's Lifehouse right now, it's such a cure for...anything really!
Take care,
xoxoxo

Hi Mike. I'm no expert either but you could use the mixer as a drive or get a signal box (not sure of the technical term) which will take the mic and then have a jack out direct to the effects unit. I have an AudioBuddy that will do this but i have no power pack for it. must buy one.
As for the accoustic -like gary said, a good condensing mic will work. If you look on my blog and view the my Studio entry, the name of the mic i bought quite cheaply is there.
