Hi all, I'm in need of some advice...I'm planning to record an album using a tascam 488 mk ii and would like to achieve results similar to this band's work (which is recorded using "an 8 track tape then a computer" - the 8 track tape is a tascam 488 mk ii also) but I'm wondering where the computer would come in...i.e. do they record 8 tracks then transfer them to a computer to edit? I know there's pretty much no way in knowing but what would be a common procedure and what would be the best way to transfer? Is there anything else they're probably using?
"Even the microphone we use for all the vocals and guitars isn't an expensive one. The point is any musician can get hold of this stuff."
My laptop at the moment is pretty old, I'm thinking of getting a macbook to use for editing - a wise move? By the way, I'm also aiming for a lo-fi ish sort of sound...I'm just not getting great results at the moment using Tascam 488 > EMU 0204 > audacity
Many thanks in advance for your help!
