Thanks Jerome.  Yes, one shot takes are really rough when you keep making mistakes as I do.  Making a mistake at the end of the recording sucks.  I suppose my next step, somewhere down the line will be using equipment where I can edit the finished product.  For now, I will go with what I got.

First make sure you didn't accidentally tune it one octave higher.  It happens.  What kind of a tuner are you using? Those are light strings so you shouldn't have the buzz.

great pics guys.

I guess I play for most of the above reasons, but mostly, it takes me away from my surroundings for awhile and makes me feel better if I'm down.  Kind of like reading a book or a calgon bath.

Its a great thing when things like that happen.  Good for you guys.

Bummer.  Old country and folk sound right up my alley, but I too am far away.  Good luck to you.

You are slowly clearing it up for me, Jerome.  I have a better understanding of the mics, the mixers and the preamp stuff, but then you you throw in the DAWs apps and I kind of get frustarated all over again. Right now I am using one mic and the computer, with no DAWs.  Pretty simple.  I do appreciate all your info, as you are more informed than I.  I realize you are not recommending items, but comparing them for us.  I'm still thinking about the Alesis and the MXL mics.  Have you found any other simple USB mixers that can accept two mics that are around the same price as the Alesis?  Something that might be a good fit for the MXL mics?

Hey, bud, I feel bad for you also.  You might have to change how you play.  Use your last three fingers to chord instead of the first three.  It's not easy to change what you been doing for years, but its possible.  You just need to adapt yourself to the situation.

Well, hello Thunderbird.  You know, they ought to name a fine wine after you or something.  We're glad to meet you and hope to hear from you often.  I used to watch Lawrence Welk with my parents.  I find myself watching bits of it still if I am channel surfing and happen to run across it.

Jerome, I finally decided to check into the Alesis Multimix 4 USB you mentioned and decided it looks like a great deal.  However, I read some bad reviews about hum and noise through headphones.  It did say that the noise doesn't come through the recording, just through the headphones.  Well, I don't plan on using headphones, so do you think this is still a good deal?  I'm prepared to step up a notch here, but want something that is rated good.  I aslo like the MXL mics you mentioned.  What do you think?

What am I missing?

Those mics are top notch from all I have read.  Don't know anything about the amp.  Sounds as if you got some good stuff there, Bass.
