mystuff GNX4:
My youngest boy, we will call him FRG, say Frig, (future rock god). I tease because I love. He actually is getting very good. After listening to him nail a metal song, of a band I will never know, I mentioned recording to an iPod. He reminded me that his GNX4 with

Built-in 8-track recorder, USB I/O, MP3 playback, phantom-powered mic preamp

would do this. He went on to say:

Meet the GNX Series’ top-of-the-line model. The GNX4 doesn’t replace the award-winning GNX3. It just takes the GNX3’s groundbreaking guitar workstation concept to the next level.

A built-in MIDI drum machine that rivals standalone drum machines. The GNX4’s MIDI drum machine sounds so realistic you’ll look for the drum stick chips. It has a vast library of high quality kits and patterns or you can use your own MIDI files. Plus, it can even play back your favorite MP3s. Download lessons from guitar magazines or play along with songs you uh, bought legally from one of those authorized download sites.

8-track digital recording on board. When you’re ready to record, so is the GNX4. To capture that magic riff , just press the record footswitch and save the moment onto the Compact Flash memory card for transfer later to computer.

Professional recording software from Lexicon. Connect to your PC via the USB port and unleash the real power of the GNX4’s recording capabilities using the included Pro Tracks Plus™ recording software for your PC or Bias® Deck™ 3.5 SE for your Mac. Stream four channels of 24-bit audio to the computer simultaneously while listening to two channels playback with zero latency. For the finishing touch, process your work through world-class Lexicon® reverbs courtesy of the Pantheon™ reverb plug-in. With 35 factory presets, 6 reverb types and a simple yet powerful user interface, Pantheon is an indispensable tool for your recording studio.

OK...so he didn't really say all those other things but it sent me to my PC for a goggle search. I put the gleaned information here so I could bookmark it for future reference. I plan to do this with the rest of the stuff we have laying around the studio. And thus it will be tagged mystuff ...Technically it should be called ourstuff. Mystuff just had a nicer ring to it :) The upside of all this? You get to watch me go through the pain of learning new technology. If this crap is hard to use I'm going to do most of my bitching here. Won't that be fun? To be continued...
