So is phantom power the only consideration when deciding between 1/4" and XLR?

Hmm.. yeah I've seen those around.. Really cool looking, and I have no idea how to use them or what they do, but I agree I definitely need one.

Hi there. I have a Tascam M-2524 mixer which is coupled with a TSR-8 1/2" deck. Up to now, I've been tracking in Reaper using an audio interface (MOTU 8pre). Switching from the Tascam to the MOTU and back requires plugging and unplugging a whole buncha XLRs. I would like to keep them both set...

This might sound evasive but I've kinda always written songs. I started before I could play an instrument, listening to my folks' records with the volume turned down and pretending I was listening to something I made. Every song I write is an attempt to improve upon the last one, and that's why...

As the existence of our entire species doesn't even register a blip in the cosmos, in the carving of canyons and evolution of species, the indifference of space and the endless millennia that grind all known and unknown universes into dust gazillions of times over, you will be pleased to know...

If your song was rejected by "the whole country," then you're in pretty good shape. This means you are on the map. BUT... you're pimping a lot of dead links, and your Youtube has about 16 views. This paints a picture of someone who's not sure whether they want to put themselves out there or not...

Lol, so if I express an opinion different than yours, must be because I was insulted? That's pretty myopic dude.

It's funny to hear someone say that, because I *do* listen to *some* folk related stuff, and one of my favorite things about it is the dense and nuanced approach to instrumentation.. but I suppose if you're not a fan, what would even motivate you to dig deeper than the caricature of a "folk type...

Weird. I'm self-taught and do things a little differently, but I would never compare my hands against each other as weakest/strongest because they take on different roles. I'd feel just as weird tapping the ride with my left hand as I would playing the snare with my right. But neither hand is...

Well, I'm not marketing my music, but if I was, it would be for US, which is the set of me and everyone who thinks the same way I do about music.

Easiest thing is to start a thread here: https://homerecording.com/bbs/general-discussions/mp3-mixing-clinic/ And in it just copy and paste the link from your browser's address bar (the little thingy at the top that shows what page you are looking at) when you are on the Soundcloud page...

Believe it or not, there's software out there that makes it possible to program entire drum performances that never happened. I'd say correcting a few wonky notes in a real performance must sit at a somewhat lower level of deception, no?

Depends on who's home and the time of day when I start it.

50 isn't that much. Plenty of older recordings used close to that afa discreet inputs, but submixed them together, I think the "musical vision" you speak of is more: a)) There were financial barriers to recording, so it was more limited to people who were otherwise persistent/productive in...
