I was originally planning to get an 8 track open reel, then go into a Pro Tools setup to add vocals and leads, etc. Then I thought that for what I'd pay to do that, I could get a 2 track deck, a couple good rack FX, and other things.
Would it be OK to record 8 channels of rhythm tracks on the 8 track, mix down to 2 track, then put it back on the 8 track, or would I be doing too much transferring?
Here's the setup I'm thinking:
8 track: Otari Mx5050, TASCAM TSR-8 ,or 38 w/dbx
2 track: Not sure here.
Mixer: Mackie 1604 VLZ, Tascam M series, or Allen & Heath Mixwizard. Would like to be able to do 8 channels simultaneously. 3 band EQ w/ Mid sweep; and 2 effect sends would be nice (reverb and compression)
Rack:
JoeMeek preamp/compressor
M-Audio DMP3
Lexicon reverb
Graphic EQ (? not sure what brand)
Small tube mic pre
Any reccomendations on this setup?
