OOOh! Yes! I like it! This could be the one! I only 'need' 2 aux outs, 4 would be nice, but I can live. Other than that I think it hits everything on my list. Thanks!

We have a Tascam DP24 already (is that what you're referring to?). It has only 1 main out and no AUX out. Plus (and I was not clear about this in my original post), it has only 8 inputs. It can record up to 24 channels, but not simultaneously. We need at least 11 inputs (I'd prefer 16). I did...

I'm looking for recommendations for a new console. My band would like to spend less than $1K, but I assume we're heading closer to $2K. Needs: Onboard multi-track recording, preferably to an SD card. We practice and record in this space, but I edit/mix/master at another location. I'd rather not...

In this day and age, is the studio album what it once was? My band has been together for 8 years. We have over 40 fairly-awesome, original tunes. We have our own "recording studio", nothing fancy but definitely effective. We play out, but due to our schedules, etc. we don't play out often...

We're preparing to self-release our 1st official album. I feel like I'm missing a step. I'm trying to create the final files to send off for reproduction and download. I've exported my session to stereo 44100 24 .wav files. I then used mp3Tag to fill in all the details/metadata including Artist...

This isn't one of those vague "what monitors do you recommend?" threads, this is a "What is the absolute cheapest monitor worth buying?" thread? Obviously, the sky is the limit with monitors, but we don't have the budget for sky. We mix through an old school Sony receiver right now, then...

I hope this isn't a dumb question. Sorry. I have a live session mixed. Everything is dead center, except a guitar stereo bus using a Channel Tools Increased Width plugin. I put the FabFilter-L on the stereo bus. As I boosted the gain, I'd get a proportional stereo spread (maybe phase shift?)...

Small studio. Angled roof. We built a small wall of owens-corning 703 around the drum kit. Now I don't have room for the overhead mic stand. I have 2 small diaphragm mics in an X/Y on a stereo bar. I have just enough room for a mic stand in front of the kick, however when the mics are in the...

I'm ashamed to ask this. My band has been recording for several years, but we have not yet produced a finished product.... until now. How do you go from a session, or multiple tracks, to an album. Do you just save each tune individually and manage the organization during reproduction? Is there a...

We've been relying on (and loving) our Yamaha O2R, but it's very used and reaching the end of its life. One channel doesn't work, others are getting noisy, the motorized faders are not working well, etc. I considered trying to repair it, but I assume I'll do more damage than good while spending...

I’m having a hard time finding “go-to”, or “industry favorite ” overhead mics. I’m trying to upgrade my band’s drum mics and I think I need some assistance picking overheads. I have a grown-up blues-rock band. Our recording space is small, not too bright, minimally acoustically treated, with...

I apologize if this isn't the best choice of forum, I don't see a Mixer or Yamaha forum, but I'd love some insight..... We have a VERY used Yamaha 02R. We got from a friend at a GREAT price and have been thrilled with it for a few years. We know very little about its history, but it's not new...

I feel like I never see anyone talk about multi-band compressors. I've played with a few. I feel like my mix sounds "better" with a multi-band on the master bus, but then I start tweaking it, get intimidated, and ditch it. Do you use multi-band compressors? When? Where? How?

I'll start with my usual disclaimers: I apologize if this is too newb-y, let me know if we should relocate this thread. My band is recording our 1st self-produced, individually multi-tracked, full length album. Until now we've been recording "live", mixing each tune individually, then tossing...

I apologize if this should be part of my last thread, but it feels like a different question to me so... We tracked the tune to an exterior click at 83 bpm. When I change the tempo in Sonar to 83bpm some tracks move. I have 4 tracks that are just a few measures long in the middle of the tune...
