Im new to hardware period. I have a 488 8 track, MPC 2000, Kawai KC-20 keyboard, Alto S-8 mixer, guitar, and a computer with Cool Edit Pro.
The genre I mainly work with is hiphop and rap. I have no live band playing into mics. So I have to record every instrument seperately. I was wondering how can I record my mpc, then my bass, then my keys, and so on with the 8 track when it seems like I have to be playin each instrument at the same time.
When you record onto the tape, is it possible to record the drums, then rewind the tape back and record over it with the keys on track 2, then rewind back again and record the guitar and so on? Is that how a multi track works? Or do I need some other piece of equipment to record.
I was thinkin about just recording directly onto my computer (which would be much easier and digital quality), but then that would make my 8-track useless. What do I do? I hope this aint confusing. Thanks for any help I can get!!
