Hi, I'm Dave Weiner. I'm a Favored Nations recording artist, a G.I.T. graduate and have been playing in Steve Vai's band since 1999.

Every Wednesday I do a new Riff Of The Week™ guitar education video. Here's Season 1, Episode 48: "How To Record electric Guitar pt. 1"

How much did your Iso-box cost? can i have a dollar amount?

[riffoftheweek]

@Bigredmk23 - I don't remember.. maybe $200.

How do you lift the cabinet of the ground?

[riffoftheweek]

@awesomename28 - this one has rubber feet that is fine for decoupling.

Yo Dave, hopefully you see this as it's an older video and I'm sure you get comment barrages. I watched this classic vid again after a recording conversation I had today and was hoping for a professional opinion. I've gotten my feet wet with micing a small tube combo but unfortunately I'm moving into an apartment where noise is an issue and iso boxes/treatment is impossible/improbable. Though it isn't your thing, what would you reccommend for someone forced to do the software/hardware route?

[riffoftheweek]

Fractal Audio Axe FX run direct.

[Radicz0r]

[NINJAKITTEN1994]
