Or even link cables with the help of some variation of LittleFM?

I think I might cry because every time I have money for one of the Skulltracker shirts they are not available in any small-XL size

I have the CD in my car, worth every bit of $ for the that's in the music.

This is going to loads of help for me... thank you

Update: got the channels working independently, sort of. Can't figure out how to send note off evens, nor do I know how to get pitch bends and the like functioning properly. Been trying all sorts of MIDI effects racks, not sure what the problem is. Getting super frustrated with this device, probably going to substitute it for a second DMG in my setup.

The lack of technical data such as how to set up MIDI control messages has me infuriated. There is no definition of what ranges work, and some of the control messages the cartridge "supports" do not register at all despite me trying countless configurations.

You'd be surprised at how many bars and stuff still use mono systems. My take on this is having my mixer be mono-friendly for the rare chance I get to play live. Have songs that you cleanse of panning and know will sound good without it. Smart EQing and volume control are your friend.

And if phasing is an issue with DI boxes, it is most likely due to the house wiring. Often when you plug in to two DI boxes they are meant for things like two seperate DJs, microphones, or guitar amps to pump signal out to. When you throw a stereo signal into each box, they can sonically phase each other out like Dan mentioned. I've had this happen with a DJ set a while back, a lot of my mids were flat out gone, no one bothered to tell me all night either.

If you rock a stereo setup, I think it's good to make sure you have a means of forcing mono on it so the sound guys don't have to. Buy some cables, maybe a passive mono mixer or build your own and put it in an altoids can. BE NICE TO THE SOUND GUY AND TALK TO HIM. He can be the deal that makes or breaks a set, so make his job easy. Some of them are great at their job, others you are better off without them. Talk to them before you setup, you might give them time to figure out how to channel your sound out in stereo or how to help you set up in a way that won't cause technical issues.

tl;dr make sure you can rock a mono setup, always talk to the soundguys before you setup,  or at least before you play

I'll weigh in: make sure you have good iron levels. I'm not the best eater, and I am borderline anemic apparently, which causes me to often feel faint, lose focus, and be a bit emotionally dead. Iron plays a huge role in how you feel. I don't have ADD or ADHD so I cannot really relate to that part of focusing, but my girlfriend has struggled for years with chronic depression. For a while she and I were both on medications that were medically "fixing us up" but not letting us be mentally clear. Now we're both pretty balanced out, and the side effects of our medicines aren't nearly as strong as they used to be.

Talk to your doc, make sure there are other options you can try. There's more than one way to skin a cat.
