When mixing down vocals, drums, bass and guitar, are there any tricks to use to get good separation in the final mix? I'll be using a Tascam 1/2" reel to reel. The tracks will be....trk 1-vocal, trk2-vocal, trk3-bass guitar, trk4-guitar, trk5-overheads, trk6-toms, trk7-kick, trk8-snare.

Thanks.

I need a new loom for my reel to reel. Are there any phono-to-jack looms worth considering, or do they all sound the same?

I am after some advice on buying an eight channel mixer fir playback in the rehearsal room. Something small and cheap would be ideal . Do those Line Mixers do the job that I need?

Forgot to say I've a Beyerdynamic M69 as well.

Thanks for that. Forgot to say that our drummer owns a decent Audix kick drum mic.

Hi there. It's not a cassette deck I'll be using , but 1/2" tape. I've a Tascam 58. Regarding overheads, what would be the way to go? I have an SM57, a pair of Shure beta 57's, AKG D190e, Audio Technica Pro4H, Audio Technica Pro 4L, Realistic PZM, and a pair of Beyer Dynamic CV710(CK703...

Ok. So if it's the Glynn John's method then the three mics would be assigned to three separate tracks in my recorder. I assume it will only the kick drum mic getting compressed. Regarding analogue tape, would there be any benefit in recording the kick drum and the di'd bass guitar into the red...

One mic is going up against the beater , the other about 18"" away for capturing the bottom end.

Does anyone know if you have to flip the phase on a single overhead mic for a drum kit? In the coming weeks I aim to record a demo with my band , using a Tascam 58 and very basic gear. The drums I will be recording using a couple of mics on the kick, and have the snare and Tom's close mic'd . I...

I have bought a pair of Mackie CR3 Monitors, but without the speaker cable that joins the two speakers. Any suggestions which cable to buy and how far apart would they be best positioned in a home studio? Thanks.

Does anyone know how to record four tracks at once on a Yamaha MT3X? I did try and set the buttons to “tape”, panned track 1 to the left, track 2 to the right, track 3 to the left and track four to the right. But on playback the sounds were mixed with each other.

Does anyone know of a splitter box of any sort that would split the signal from the output of a minidisc player? At present my band plays gigs with the use of a backing track with keyboards and bass on. Is there any way the Minidisc outputs could feed my onstage monitor and the P.A. mixer...
