Was thinking of picking up that Acme Motown DI but after this video I am starting to look at the Noble as well. Decisions...

Did he just say he made some melons out of lemonade? impressive ha ha :)

[KimboH]

excuse my ignorance. i live in australia so i am not familiar with many producer heritages. Is Steve Cook related to Stu Cook bass player formerly of CCR?

Hey, there *ARE* still people in the pro music world who AREN'T snooty / snobbish about converters? As in, "real" humans? :D

I started out thumbing. Definitely palm muting has its virtues. :)

[PrinceWesterburg]

The thumbnail looked like it said "RECORDING ASS"

Sorry to sound mean, but the video title implies that you would demonstrate things like setting the BASS levels on the DI and in the DAW. Maybe some panning or effects techniques to get a pro sounding bass track. There wasn't even a play through of the isolated bass track.

Warren, I have a cheap ART DI. Should I get a Radial or save and get something pricier like a Countryman 85? Is the difference that big? Thanks!
