@rob aylestone
You mentioned above Green screens. Can I refer to you a few questions I have about recording myself playing several instruments at the same time?

Sorry I missed this - yes sure, fire away

@TapeRoll - I hope you are recording more people than just yourself? That is very impressive.

Here are a couple videos of my studio build from 2000. Some older pics with a few new ones showing gear upgrades. Perhaps it may be of help. Good luck with your build.

give much honor to the rig.

Yes, I do record solo artists to groups as well. Things are at a bit of a stand still currently as I upgrade gear and some acoustical treatments. It seems it never ends with the alteration of both rooms as many here with a studio space have probably experienced somewhere along the way.

I do enjoy working with tape and the fine audio attributes that medium can provide. However, for many of the clients who are initially very interested in doing an analog tape recording they find themselves having to turn to a digital recording due to the rising cost of tape. I do reassure them that the iZ Technology Radar 24 digital recorder is the closest thing to analog tape and is an excellent alternative,... no-one has been disappointed so far. It is really that good.

That is pretty much the time period I constructed it. I am going to dress it up a bit with new shades of acoustical treatments.

I mean that in a good way! It's fun seeing all that great gear I remember from that period!

.... Someone take the signal from monitor out of the tape recorder and put it on the digital recorder,
when Improvements or specific sound type can be achieved.
