FALKEN
*************************
well thanks a lot for all of the replies.
I think the weakest link is the preamps. I think I am going to track the instruments separately in order to take advantage of what I have, and to get greater separation. I think we are going to go out to my drummer's farm. There's a 3 bedroom house out there and the house is all wood, the main room has a vaulted ceiling. So I think we're going to bring out the reels and the board and monitors and the gigantic rack and the gobos etc etc and have a good time. There's also a barn to make use of. it should be a blast.
I am also going to experiment with different tape formulations.
Hi flyer makes an interesting point about eq's. I wish there was an affordable solution to this dilemma (other than dumping to digital). like a board with 3 band full parametrics on every channel. it wouldn't even have to have great preamps, just sound great as a line mixer.
still, if anyone has any more tips on how to make the most of this setup, I am all ears.
