    setting marks et al

    The folks at Fostex had no response, so maybe one of you folks can tell me what "setting a mark" means and why it's helpful to know. Thanks.

    setting marks et al

    Well, I have finally learned to make the vf80 do everything that I want it to do, and am very happy with the results. Now ... There are some things it can do that I may or may not want to learn, depending on how useful they are. One of these is "setting a mark." What the hell is a "mark" and...

    new mp3 for Martha Stewart

    technique I'm a little embarrassed answering tech questions about any of my disasters because we have some real masters that read this stuff. For what it's worth, I recorded the guitars with a large diaph. condenser, a not really fancy MX, and did vocals on an sm57 (some things don't need to be...

    paging billisa

    setup Hey Bill, yes, it's just me, 4 guitar tracks into a condenser (large), singing thru a dynamic (condensers capture TOO much of my voice!), and the bottom of a cocoa box for drumming, kid you not. Mikes go into a little blue presonus preamp that seems to help. I am starting to question the...

    Bill, I'm not trying to bump up my thread, but you need to know that that Martha Stewart mp3 (it's on the board now, about 7 or 8 threads down) was a huge hit on the guitar TTT fprum I frequent, and I have you in part to thank. You may remember telling me to try the telephone preset to get that...

    new mp3 for Martha Stewart

    You may have to type this URL into your browser if you can't just click on it, but I think you'll like it. It's a song about a bet I made with a friend that Martha Stewart would go to jail and not get probation. The song is basically me rubbing it in. FYI: He plays a "djembe" drum and guitar...

    Wanna laugh? Or at least chuckle for a sec..(new Mr-8 song)

    ! Well, that was fun. I'm usually touchy about things like using the national anthem, but it was good here. You guys sound like a garage band (I mean that nicely) version of the grateful Dead. Something about those vocals. Post more often.

    panning Hi, Selkin. I just do acoustic music, but I picked up a mastering book at guitar center and was just leafing thru, and I noticed that there are classic mixes for rock, country, jazz and so on. They use pan to put the lead vocals in the middle, background guys off to the side, rhythm...

    relaxing

    I bring nothing but problems here usually. Today I reminded myself of one good thing, and then I discovered another good thing: My vf80 works perfectly. My mixing skills are slowly improving (I always thought panning, for example, was for making it sound like an airplane was flyin cross the...

    I think My MR8 is F*cked

    ? If no one else will ask you to watch your language, I guess I will. If you've been around here longer than I have, I know it's not my call and none of my business. I'm asking anyway. Good luck with your noise problem. Blue Haired Lady

    cooledit

    I can't get anyone at the cooledit forum to respond to this question from a friend who uses cooledit. Fellow fostechers, can you suggest how this friend can control his levels if he is going from the mike thru a mixer (no, I don't know if it has preamp) and directly into a soundcard and then on...

    help setting levels on cooledit pro

    Greetings: I am Rob from the Fostex forum. Look at this inquiry from my cooledit-using friend over on another site I frequent and let me know what you think. Seems to me he needs a preamp to control the signal. What do you think? "I need help with adjusting levels. My guitar (and me) go...

    cutting/pasting

    bill That was me, Bill, not John, but thanks. You know, you should offer to write the manuals for all Fostex products. You make this stuff sound fun as well as easy. You know, I remember (and still have) the CD you sent me with those commercial spots. My stuff is not nearly as good, nearly as...

    cutting/pasting

    punching No punching, I don't think. We may be talking about 1 note that needs different texture, not a whole passage; besides, I'd feel a little dishonest, no offense to those who do punch in. So my idea won't work?
