    Yeah I knew it would be when and not if on the advancing guitarist popping up. I got my copy of it like 10 years ago, and I definitely wasn’t ready for it. Only relatively recently am I really starting to get a lot out of it.

    I’m not familiar with the other one but will have a look!















  • Some acoustic focused amps would have a separate xlr input for a mic.

    If you don’t have one of those then you’re pretty much out of luck. Mic and instrument level are different things, so your amp won’t be set up for the mic signal level.

    I’d go for a cheapo separate setup, either a dedicated mini PA or run the mic into a mixer and out through some speakers. Also be aware that some microphones require a powered connection to operate, although most all mixers will have at least one channel that can do this.

    IMO the best bang for your buck mic is a Shure SM57. You can use it for everything from vocals to an amp to a snare drum.








  • If you like platformers and haven’t done it already you should play both Super Mario 3 on NES and Super Mario World on SNES. Still really great to play but also a good history lesson - a lot of staple design concepts were pioneered in those games!

    Staying in the platformer genre, the original Rayman on PSX wil always be one of my favorites. Wonderful, unique art and sound design. Starts off very slow but becomes fiendishly difficult as you keep going. Be advised that it was designed with limited lives and some brutal gauntlets between save points. Save scumming with your emulator is probably going to be good for your sanity here.
