Hello All,
I'm an old geezer guitar player and am enjoying recording songs. I dipped into this a year ago briefly, then had to get on with other projects, but now I have the time to get back to it.
As an old coot I love analog audio, and I enjoy using the older cassette-based machines. I began by purchasing a Fostex X-34 last year. I added an AT 2020 condenser and a Shure SM58. I most of the time use the condenser on the guitar and the SM58 on my vocals. I often overdub the vocals and then mix down.
After getting the Fostex, I thought I would try the digital boxes and bought a Tascam DP-008EX. I really do not like much about it at all. I find it highly annoying to use, and I really never got into the paradigm of using software to emulate physical and mechanical functions. (I don't even like using cell phones.)
Recently, I purchased a Tascam 424 MkII to replace the cheap-o Fostex. It's on the way to me now. So, I figured I would get involved with a recording community as a way to learn how to better use this gear!
So, thanks for the opportunity to be here~
