I am still killing myself over getting (or not) Eventide DSP7000 - a used one, that is. I considered *many* different setup scenarios, but always hit the wall, before I reach my vision of the sound i have in my head.

Now it's your turn... ...snip Well, I cannot speak about the way I'm routing the *guitar* signal, because I didn't get there, yet (and I have a bad feeling that I never will... :o) ). In a way, I am envious that you have this figured out and that it works for you so well, judging from your mp3s I've listened to. So the only things I can speak of is what I've got so far in terms of the equipment: Fernandes Dragonfly Deluxe w/Sustainer, Takamine C128 classical w/nylon strings, and no-name classical w/steel strings. For synths and samples I have two PC computers. One has two Pulsar I cards and Lexicon Core32 (2x PCM90 reverbs on board) w/LDI-12T interface, the other one is a dedicated Gigastudio and a second Lexicon Core32 w/LDI-12T interface. The third computer is used for controlling the other two via MIDI, and for recording in Cakewalk Pro Audio 9. The rack-mounted gear is Digitech 2120 w/C1, Behringer Ultramizer Pro, Ultralink Pro, Denoiser, and UltraCurve 8024. Peavey MidiMaster for MIDI routing. In the rack is also Rockman Sustainor, Rockman MIDI Octopus for switching stuff on and off from Cakewalk sequencer and/or ART X-15, and for an external compression I have JoeMeek C2. A keyboard controller for the Pulsar synths is Studiologic SL-161, and for monitoring I use a pair of Event 20/20bas. To keep the noise from computers away, while recording acoustic guitar with a pair of Oktava MC 012, I have all three computers downstairs, mix the signal from synths and recorded tracks in Cakewalk box through Behringer MX1604A mixer, and run upstairs with a pair of balanced cables to Mackie 1402VLZ, into which I also run the signal from the rack-mounted gear. The outs from the Mackie go back downstairs into the Cakewalk box, for the final mutilation. :-) Whew, all this and I'm still not happy... hehe Perhaps the Big Bang will happen when the pain of not having Eventide DSP7000 grows to be greater than the financial pain of having one, and it's getting pretty darn close. BTW, if you know someone who would like to unload that beast, please let me know. Best regards, Jara
