Here's a little twist to my usual plugging my JV into my amp and micing it to record.
For this classic tune I used my Schecter PT and plugged direct into my PodXT.
PodXT owners, here's the settings used:

Instead of Cubase, I instead used Tracktion by Mackie. It's a toss up for me which I like using better. I tend more often than not to learn towards Tracktion just for its ease of use and how it doesn't cram up my laptop, which is a Thinkpad T30 with 1gb RAM and 80gb HHD.
Here's a screenshot of the Tracktion project:

For vocals I used my Alesis Multimix 8 which I plugged into my PodXT which is the USB connection I use for recording into my laptop. I used my Beta 57A and added some reverb and delay.
This was done about one hour ago, after I got home. I just found the time to hammer this out and I thought I'd share the settings, etc. with you guys and also get some feedback on whether my vocals suck on this or not. I worry more about the vocals as I do not consider myself to be very good at crooning.

Edit August 9, 2007: Replaced link with final mastered product. Click track removed, vocals bumped up a bit more in the mix.

Any comments, good or bad, always welcomed.
Cheers,

BTW, Robert if there is any issue with posting these covers please let me know and they will be removed.
