Beatnik Boogie

       Okay!  The recording bug has bitten me once again!  I haven't recorded anything in the last decade - ever since my old mixer blew up.  Yeah, I bought another one.  There are so many home recording solutions today, it was starting to make my head spin when I when I started looking.  My old mixer was a Behringer, but it was strictly analog.  I found a new Behringer with a USB interface that was less than $200.  It has some decent DSP effects built in, as well.  I haven't even installed all the software that came with it and have already made a test recording, which can be heard by clicking the Play button at the end of this post.

        After spending a few hours with it, I am happy.  I used my old Adobe Audition software to multi-track two acoustic guitar parts and an EBow part that sounds like a flute.  I used my Les Paul plugged directly into the mixer for the EBow track, along with a bit of the mixer's plate reverb effect.
