How To Make The Most Of Tube Amp?

Hi,
3 months ago, I received a gift from my partner for my electric violin. It is a Behringer Tube Ultragrain MIC100
I have not used this most of the tinme since I am not a technical person even after reading the manual plus the technicians who mixes the sound find the instructions difficult to comprehend.
My questions are:
1.) How do we make the most of this MIC100- I mean what are the recommended settings?
2.) Is MIC100 can be REALLY used for electric violin?
3.) DO I have to purchase another set of cables? If yes can you recommend what types?
Your response would be really appreciated.
Thank you,

Self Confidence Problems Maybe?

I have lots of hobbies & and talents/skills.
But lately I’ll see someone who I look up to that does it, & their really amazing at it. And I just think “I’ll never be as good as them” or “Im just wasting my time, Ill never be able to do it like they can”
Even with the skills & hobbies I already enjoy, & lately Ive been trying to pick up the Electric Violin. And yet I see this one guy whos 21. Hes been playing Electric Violin for 15 years. Hes amazing. And I want to be able to play like him. But in 15 years Ill be 30. Its just sorta like, Im realizing how long 15 years is. And will it really take me that long to learn it & play like him?
Its just the phrase “Ill never be as good as him” keeps going through my head, over & over & over.
Help.

Know Some Good Songs To Cover?

So I’m buying a sound recorder in about a month. It can record basically anything I play with good quality & I mix it together etc.
I was wondering if anyone had any song recommendations? I’m not really into any pop covers or anything, but more into weird things such as film score music. Donnie Darko Score for an example. I was wondering if anyone knew of any good music like this to cover? (That is actually possible to do).
I’ve got Violin Viola Piano (Which Can do several effects & orchestral instruments) & also an electric guitar bass & an electric violin.

My Amp Stopped Working?

I have no signal when i plug in my electric violin into the amplifier, it’s a cheap amp, but i’m not sure if it’s because of a techincal problem or just the quality of the amp. (or violin)

Any help? Thanks in Advance!http://www.sharmusic.com/Shop-Shar/Acces…

Advice On A Cello Pickup?

Is there an inexpensive cello pickup that sounds decent? And if so, do I also need a pre-amp? What are some features I should be looking for? I see some cello pickups that are like 200 dollars & in that case, I can just save up 100 more & get a cheap electric violin.
If there is no inexpensive good-sounding option, I will keep miking my cello, & if so, where’s the best place to mic it?

What Is The Name Of This Classical Song?

I’m not even sure if this is a symphony to be honest. it starts off with a repeating tune with violins or some other type of string instrument, after the third repeat of the pattern, a woman starts singing in a really high pitched voice, with the tune in the background. & then finally, the background tune becomes much more emphasized. im so sorry i dont know anything about music & this is really hard for me to describe. its a really popular tune that everyone has heard of, i just dont know the name. Its one of those songs you would hear in an old fashioned movie while everyone is ballroom dancing, haha i dont know

She Went Back To Her Husband..what Should I Do?

My girlfriend of six months left last wednesday to go back to her husband. When I met her she lied to me & told me that she had been divorced for eight years. I believe it. Then I found out that she was only separated & she was only recently separatated when I met her. I met her in September & they had separated in July, he walked out on her…I let her move in with me in January & everything seemed fine. She was happy with me or so she said & up until the last day played it like a fine tuned violin. “I love you baby” “I miss you baby” “I need you baby” were her favorites to me. On March 31st…I went to work & when I came home she was gone & she left a note that said Patrick, you deserve better, I’m sorry but I have to do what I have to do, I love you, you deserve better….Didn’t even sign the damn note. Took the ring I gave her & the diamond earrings but left a ton of clothes. She did take some clothes. I contacted her Mom & her son & she called me & left a very nasty message about do not contact them & do not call her back. She said when something doesn’t work, it don’t work. However, she never told me it didn’t work. I thought it was working. I don’t know what to do. Her husband is a control freak & so she can’t get online & her phone ran out of minutes & he won’t put minutes on it. Why would she leave? Was it me? Will she contact me again? This is all new to me. I was really good to her. She didn’t even have to work & didn’t work. Please help.
