studio pics (cleaned up!!)

[clevodrummer]

I cleaned up my basement studio (one room 12 by 14) and figured I would take some pics and post them.

I built the room initially for a small office for my biz, but moved everything after I got into this home recording thing.

I hope you enjoy..

Didn't know why this was in the TASCAM forum until I saw the last few pics. Now I know why! My only TASCAM is an 1804 Firewire interface, which may not qualify me for this forum--but I love looking at others playspaces! Nice setup you have there. Looks like a great place to make music.

Super Cool! Do you record most of your stuff on the 424 mkIII and mix down to 2 tracks on the Teac?

[clevodrummer]

Right now Im really experimenting with different routes. I just scored the 2 track a few days ago. What I have been doing is tracking with either and/or the 424 and the Korg d-888 and mixing down to the Masterlink. I was normally mixing with the Yamaha MG 16, but I just started using that and the M-35 (Tascam) together. The M-35 is the bomb with drums. The eqs are substantially superior to the yamaha board, although the yamaha board is quite acceptable.

Got bummed out because the new teac 2 track stated smoking a bit. Shut it down and popped it open and one of the caps is fried. Really surprised me because the girl who owned this is a friend of mine and really takes care of her audio gear and knows her stuff, (phone company troubleshooter tech).

It was sitting for a very long time. So I have to pop in the cap I just picked up and pray that I might get lucky and the problem is confined to just that.

I REALLY want to mix down to the Teac.

Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.

What would Jesus Jam ????

Is that the D-888 to the left of the 424mkIII ???

[clevodrummer]

Yea,

The D-888 is to the left of the 424. I really like it Dave, because of the 8 outs on it. I mix out of the box using the 8 outs and its super convenient. Just some short patch cords and bada boom....bada bang. Really fun. Its fun to track with the 424 and dump em on the D-888. I scored the D-888 from my local GC and its really a great tool. Extremely simple to operate and I used to really be downright afraid of menus. Some people complain about the gains but I have no prob with them.

The guitar next to the short scale Gretsch bass is a Gibson Les Paul Model. Cool axe, Ive had it for years. Checked out a Gretsch Electromatic pro jet with Bigsby wammy bar at GC and really liked it as its semi hollow body and has a great feel to it.

Dont know why I like Gretsch so much, prob because of my drums which were great bang for the buck. If I had to truly be honest, its the logo. The Gretsch logo has always killed me for some reason. I just love the damn logo.

If they made a Gretsch bicycle, I would probably get one.

Thanks a lot, Im really glad I put the pics on the board. I really dig checking out peoples studios for ideas .

Im going to have to check out your new Lennon stuff today when I got my chores all done.

Damn, I just got that...Laughed my ass off. Didnt really plan the pic with JC between the axes, just kinda happened that way!!! Wow, now Im kinda freaked out like theres some kinda message or something...

Im still crackin up. Looks like hes flashin a Peace sign between the Gretsch and the Gibson....

Amen,Brother!!

Yeah, that's cool about the D888. I got the 388, 688, 38, all that 8-track/8-simul stuff and it's good to have the capability.

I caught on the bass L was a Gretch, maybe a Jet King II (jr), but also discerned the guit R was not an Ibanez, after scrutinizing the pic, (below).

I have the GAX-B50 bass and the GAX-70 guitar. It's a cool looking guitar, but I find that body style a little top heavy. Gotta have a strap that's less prone to slipping, like leather.

Pulled this pic off earlier, but your GRETCH reminded me of this Ibanez GAX70: (my mistake, it's easy to tell they're different)

PS: the M-35 mixer is the stealth bomb, isn't it? $90 is obscenely low for what you get! I call it a 'sleeper' deal. Stuff like that I only miss if the bid closes when I'm asleep! The fact that not as many people have heard of the M-35 makes it a sleeper deal, too. People are less aware of that model, and I believe there were less sold overall.

The EQ is a trip, and signal routing is good. Those old Tascam boards sound great, [IMO/YMMV].
