In your situation, I've done one track at a time with good results. But let me suggest another option to try... Plug the drum machine and bass into the the PA. You can use the Channel EQ for the drum machine and bass, or you can run out of the bass amp and utilize the amp EQ. Then mic the...

I record live bands and I use the Tascam US-1800 and the earlier US-1641. Since you don't have a good zero-latency monitoring option, you have limitations. I keep mine set on the highest latency in the Tascam control panel. I also verify this through my DAW, Reaper. The last few times I...

Years ago, I had a Realistic PZM boundary mic that I used for this sort of thing. Wherever I put the mic, the recording sounding exactly like that position in the room. I would take the mic and a cassette recorder to shows, lay the mic on top of my amp, and the recording would sound just like...

You wrote it. Lyrics AND melody. It doesn't matter if she changed whatever. What she did fell into a simple change of arrangement. UNLESS, you had an agreement otherwise. What she did is commonly done, though...with an agreement. Personally, I've taken songwriting credit for my contribution of...

My room is 24' x 35' on a concrete slab. Mine is multipurpose, like yours sounds like it will be. I'd love to do mine over, but it works. Mine is completely open. I can get good sounds and track live bands...my main goal. If I could do it again, I would have a 3/4 bathroom near the entrance...

I can't recommend specifics, but I can tell you about my room. It's 24'x35' with 9' sidewalls that vault to maybe 12-14'. I was on a tight budget. My walls are covered in 7/16" OSB and my ceiling is covered in fiberglass batt insulation with a white vinyl covering. My floor is concrete with a...

You got any pics of what you have?

I need some gobo advice. I have a large rehearsal room. Aprox. 24x35 with high vaulted ceilings. It sounds pretty good. I'm wanting to do some recording and I want a degree of separation. I've been looking at gobo designs and most seem to have a soft side backed with drywall or wood to keep...

on the shed list? crap! I have some reels of that stuff, too. I haven't used my reel-to-reel in years, but seeing this ad makes me want to hook it up!

Old thread, but...I have one of those cards, but I use a PC and couldn't get it to work on a newer system. I'm not sure why you would need the card unless you want to transfer to the computer. Everyone tells me that the quality isn't high compared to todays standards. I guess it would be cool to...

I can't remember how many hours on one of my Blackfaces. A friend of mine somehow reset it to zero! That Adat has problems and it may be the heads. With magnification, you can really see some wear on the leading edge of the heads. Are any of you guys ADAT gurus? I could really use some repair...

Those 9vac adapters suck. But they are still available. I've got a linksys router that also takes a 9vac. What were they thinking?!

I'd google and buy the cheapest. I just saw a site the other day with the stuff. They even had cassettes in custom lengths. I've got a Model 80. A few years older than yours maybe?

My suggestion is to 'really' listen to what you're trying to sound like. Then just try to get those sounds. Sometimes it may be hard and you'll have to adjust. For instance, the drums used on old recordings were probably much better than the cheapos we have handy and who today is using flatwound...

I too have a mixer with 24v phantom. It's a Fostex mixer, new in 93-94. I also have a 1U rackmount Rolls mixer that is 12v phantom. I have some Carvin SDC mics for overheads that worked excellent on 24V, never tried them with the 12v. Back when I was demoing songs in the mid 90s, I was using an...
