Okay, my band is going to record a self recorded demo. I have a Tascam portastudio 414 mkII 4 track tape recorder and a Behringer mixer and a couple mics. Ok so, I recorded drums through my mixer to my computer using a y cable and then when we went to record guitar here is the problem we found. Im using Audacity and when we pushed record it plays back the drum track through the headphones that are hooked to the computer but since the guitar was being recorded through the mixer TO the computer, it was heard loudly while the guitarist was trying to listen to the drums. What is the best way to fix this? What is the way most people record their own cds? Is audacity a good enough program? We arent looking to release an overproduced cd that is flashy, just a good recording. And which would sound better for a band that doesnt use any distortion, the Tascam recorder i have or the mixer hooked to my PC. Any help would be tremendously appreciated. Thanks.
