Judge, your not the first i heard that from. I'm either going to buy a 11R again or just pick up something cheap to record with, like an apogee one or something. I want 3 things if at all possible and cheap but good.
1) Headphone jack
2) Interface for recording
3) cd input to learn songs - i saw this on the HD500 and thought it was cool

really didn't want to have to spend $650 for another 11R unless it gets closer to the sounds i get from my Axe fx with the new update. Just my opinion, as well all know tone is subjective. I was considering a Fast track Pro, seeing that would take care of 1&2 for like $130 used. But i hear the drivers are messed up. Then i considered a Apogee 1. I use a recent Mac and currently i have access to Reaper. Guess i won;t know till the update and people have chimed in. Any other help would be appreciated. Thanks pete
