I've recorded digitally before at animation school, but not for a long time since I got a TSR-8, just don't like working in front of computers; I do like patching cables and twisting knobs. (So I dropped out of animation school and eventually became a vegetable farmer). I use my 4 track cassette...

Hmm, never thought of that... I do have a patchbay. I think I could give that a try before spending more $$. It would have limited options for routing, but maybe not too restrictive since its just myself--I'll just have to be more creative. I would likely have a few mics on drums, but I could...

1202 vlz pro, 4 XLR ins, 4 stereo ins... Just a little guy

Hello! I have the blessing of my beautiful wife to get a 1/2" Tascam r2r to finish my project! (Yessssssss!) I've been working with a Tascam 424mkii for the past year, and since I am recording everything myself, 8 tracks would greatly improve my workflow. I have been reading about all the...

I do what assman does for the most part, but with a cassette 424. Someday I hope to have an 8 track r2r so the tape doesn't get filled up as soon. It would make for a better work flow since I just record myself, and there's no going back to edit/ change parts once it's down to stereo(eoeoeo)

Wow, thanks for all the thoughtful and informative replies! I am leaning towards the lexicon mpx500 and it's good to know I can fiddle with it while being used! I'll also experiment with the aux sends on my mixers, but it's good to know it'll do what I am expecting it to do.

I am looking to add a hardware effects unit to my recording setup, possibly a lexicon mpx500 or tc electronics m300. Is it possible to modify the effects while a signal is going thru them? Thinking of some scuzzy delay feedback or saturating certain parts of vocal tracks with reverb while mixing...

Thanks for your reply. I checked the Mobilepre control panel and the only thing I can change is the latency. I tried to re-download the most recent driver from their website, but it won't download and says it wont support windows 10... I must have downloaded this when I installed it a couple...

Hello, I hope I am posting this in the right place. I like to use my computer to mix down from my four track into a stereo mix. I was trying to use my hardware compressor in between the four track and the computer, but I can only hear mono during the bounce from my audio interface. I am mixing...

I am looking to get an ART Pro VLA II for my tascam 424ii set up. I would like to use input 5-6 to bypass the tascam pres. Should I use a balanced cable going into that input? Is it a balanced input just because it's a stereo input? Since my ART MP pre and the condenser have balanced ins and...
