    That sounds like an awfully good excuse to burn a lot of money in effect
processors :-)

    So, ideally, should the computer be used only to record and mix, with
all the effects already applied? What if you decide afterwards that that
long solo you played would be better without some effect? You record it
again? Sounds like a lot of work; but then, that would explain the time it
takes to record an album.

    And now that we're at it, any recommendation for entry-level, moderately
cheap, amateur home recording? I have a Behringer V-Amp 2, and though it
sounds quite well to my untrained ears, I'm always on the prowl for new
shiny things to put my paws on. The family of Line 6 Pods, perhaps? They
seem to be everywhere.

    Thanks,
