Hello SGF,

Finally getting around to some recording. After some starts with Cakewalk/BandLab, and some others I have landed with Audacity. I am please with the results. Getting comfortable with the software and it is pretty intuitive and there are lots of help tutorials out there. The first signal chain that I used was: Emmons D-10 Legrand-->freeloader---earthdrive--->Hilton VP---RV3 (Stereo OUT)--- (Stereo IN) Scarlet 2 channel--PC/DAW/Audacity. I might add before Scarlet my tube preamp (ART TPS 2 channel and DOD 430 EQ. Sometimes I like having a hot piece of glass in my signal chain. However, the stereo signal I got sounded so good with the simpler aforementioned set up. Sometimes, less is more. I took the orig stereo signal and copied it. Then split the stereo signal to two different tracks (hard left and hard right) added the stock audacity comp/limiter, eq and reverb. And mixed down to 2 track stereo.

Seasons Greetings and happy playing and recording

Sincerely, John Miller
