I plan on using a TASCAM TSR-8 only to record drums because i feel drums just sound so much sweeter when recorded to tape. I am using an Oram T8 mixer to run the mics for the drums. I then want to import the tracks into pro tools using an Apogee Rosetta 800 into a Macbook Pro. I want to record guitars, vocals, bass directly into the Apogee/Macbook using a UL LA610 as a pre. I then want to mix down the finished product onto a TASCAM 22-2. I ultimately want to press the songs onto vinyl.
Two questions.
1. What is the best way to sync the drums into Pro tools 9? How can I get the drums to align within the grid of protools 9? I dont plan on doing too much editing as I want to keep the work flow similar to recording only to tape but i would still like to keep everything organized within the PT grid just in case.
2. Can I do much better than the TASCAM 22-2 as a stereo mixdown deck? I am looking for a nice sweet warm analog sound Would the larger TASCAM 32 be sonically superior?
PS... the main reasons I want to use PT and a Macbook Pro is so I can keep most of my recording mobile (except the drums). I like to record in different room of the house for better acoustics...etc I also like to instantly recall projects and even do some mobile editing etc without being tied to the basement studio. I am trying to have my cake and eat it too lol
Thanks
