thank you d3berg for your suggestions. we shall see how it pans out
when i go home from work, and try it out.
next question i have, an inevitable one to new sidstation users, is
what noise gate recommendations do you have. i know nothing about
different brands, who is better who to avoid, what one looks like,
how to use one. i expect i can figure the last two out, but i dont
know where to start yet...
thanks again,
evan cairo
