No, guitar is safe.

Yeah, it is so satisfying when you do one of these interviews, when I stand in front of a great guitar player,

in this case, Jamie West Orum from the fix, and then you listen back and you just hear the sound

like you were there. You hear it in stereo. Here's a clip. Yeah, we all know that song. One of the

great platinum hits from the Fix. One thing leads to another. Today's show is brought to you by

Tascam. Couldn't have done it without them. They've got this great product, man, for podcasters.

It's called the MixCast 4. If you're going to get into podcasting or any kind of streaming and stuff

and doing a little multitracking, it's killer. Four dual XLR slash quarter inch inputs.

Great for microphones or plugging guitars direct.

Using effects peddlers or modelers or even drum machines, whatever.

Easy plug-in-play, man.

You can pull the mix cast out of the box, plug it in, start recording and streaming in a matter

of minutes.

Of course, you can record directly to an SD card or to your favorite software on your computer.

You can even record multi-track files on the SD card for editing later.

That's what I do. I'm sitting on the plane listening to this stuff.

More on that story in a second. Dang.

So yeah, it's got built-in effects processing too.

You can add EQ, compression, even reverb on your inputs.

It's also got special inputs for USB or smartphone and Bluetooth.

So you can play along to your favorite songs or practice the solo against another track

or have phone calls come in.
