I just thought I'd share a funny story with you all . . . but be warned; there is no advice or meaningful wisdom in here at all.
I finally was able to pull out my "new" TASCAM 488 mkII last night and start working with it. Since the piece I was working on is going to be just some acoustics and vocals I decided to record a click track straight onto the tape rather than mess with SMPTE and such. I ran my guitar mic onto track one, my vocal mic to track two, and my click track to track three. As I was getting ready to start reworking parts over my scratch tracks I decided that putting the click on track three was not the best move, cause I like to have "like items" together as much as possible. (I'm sure this doesn't really matter but I have stupid idiosycracies like that, I suppose.) So i just thought "I'll just copy track three over to track eight and delete track three." Then it dawned on me "THIS ISN'T DIGITAL, YOU CAN'T DO THAT!!!!" I though it was kind of funny. Anyway, does anyone else have any funny "transition" stories?
PS As soon as I'm done recording this piece I'll post it if any of you want to hear my first foray into analog recording.
