As a fully respectful motherfucker, I will only ask questions for which I already know the answers. Watch and learn, Ed.

Should I plug the provided power cord into the mixer or into my guitar?

Do I plug the XLR cables into the XLR inputs, or do I try to put them in the 1/4" inputs?

Is Firewire just the same as USB, but with a cooler name?
At the end of the day, I'm setting up jug cords all day every day, dude. I plugged in a jug cord just before, and BAM, power light ON motherfucker.

Go home and play with your mummy's money, you're not ready for Firewire yet.

etc etc

Ah, I see. Catering for the bedroom crowd with an AFD demo. Fair enough! -Next up might I suggest going after the Townshend tone with a Hiwatt?

Forgive me on the lack of detail work, but I was hoping to add something useful and positive to the thread without getting bogged down in reading too much of your typing or listening to the clips.

Record better?
Soundcheck faster and perform with a representative sound mix?

Hah, naturally.

Yes, very helpful as always. I watched the first 10 minutes of that video, even. Informative and I shall certainly try that!

The AFD is actually an awesome bedroom amp, funnily enough. The attenuator thing really does work quite well (though apparently not so well on the YJM), even at gigs I usually end up running it on 12.5 watts or whatever most of the time. On full power it is predictably self-shittingly loud.

I stopped doing your band because you were a bunch of spineless liars, why not try honesty HG? The deal was that I would be paid as a member as an equal cut once the band started earning more than 1K per gig, any band payment under 1K meant that I would be paid $90. You guys were always whining about money so most of the time I just dropped my payment to $80 or $60. Then after you guys started getting paid more than 1K you didn’t honour the agreement. So I told you guys to shove it, I didn’t enjoy the yuppie noob attitude of your band anyway. hey! What happened when I bought you a beer? You bought yourself two beers; did you think the beer I bought for you was a gift? You obviously don’t know what a “round” is. You guys were a bunch of social retards and I was only doing sound for you guys as a favour to Ant. Shortly after I started doing sound for your band you all said how much you loved me, and told me how much better the sound was, I taught you guys where to stand on stage to get good separation, and helped you well above the brief, all to be paid back by not honouring your agreement. After being treated like that I thought you lot were a pathetic bunch of losers with huge egos I already knew you lot can’t solo and don’t know how to arrange for horns unless it’s all Unison. Mate, it was a joke listening to you guys play at the Jazz fest watching everyone wince once the sax solo started. The recording I did, I still have and the sax player didn’t want anyone to hear how bad he played so he killed the whole project.
Slash’ed, this is what you will learn once you get the whole panning thing down

hows the panning going? on a mono track? what happens when you pan left on a mono track? are you using some kind of software thing where it compensates for stuff?
