    In You Know The Score - The Woodman

    Thanks! I've been thinking the same thing. That was a Wechter "Traveler" acoustic with the built-in Fishman. I can hear it thumping through, but since the only percussion is a snare and tambourine, I let it slide. There are a few muddy confused passages, the vocals are iffy, the background...

    DP24, two songs mastered, on CD, have different volumes . . .

    So here's the twit. I put two songs on a CD right from my DP24. When I listened in the truck, the second was blowing the speakers out. Is there a way to normalize the album as a whole?

    korg x50 (any good?)

    I wanted a backup for my X5 as well as a dedicated studio keyboard, and just dropped $699 on a new X50 from B&H. Wow, is this thing cheap. I miss the solid Japan construction of the X5 over this Chinese-built keyboard. Despite a few bad reviews of bending keys and failing power supplies, I'm...

    Rough recording, rough mix

    Sounds fine to me, listening through a MacBook Air.

    Tascam DP-24 Copy and paste problems

    "Who knows" is a likely answer. I've had issues with C/P of tracks, and I'm sure it was [gulp] operator error.

    Another stab at a spare acoustic track

    It sounded great on my laptop. I add ambience by recording the room, with a mic further from the guitar. Yea, a little noise, but this is amateur recording, right? I find I have to shut off a distant fan that the mics pick up, and record at midnight, to get the quietest house.

    JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2488 NEO with warranty and never used !!

    Wow! The NEO again out-performs the DP-24. I've heard aboutthe benefits, but here's another. Lucky you. When you're on a roll, and just want to get the track down, any pauses can break the push.

    JUST BOUGHT A BRAND NEW 2488 NEO with warranty and never used !!

    No, no, no !!! What I'm saying is this. Say you RECORD a track, and do it wrong. You hit STOP. You hit REWIND . You hit RECORD again to re-record the track. The machine will not REWIND, that is, go back to -zero-, until the SD card stores the data you just recorded. Sure, it is a delay of...

    I did, out of the blue, with no experience past casette tape 4-tracks. And now, four months later, my third song . . . willie billie bong My only snit? when recording a track, if you hit STOP to redo the track, the machine has to record your error track in it's memory before you can return to...

    The latest . . . Willie Billie Bong @2012 - still can't figure out the reverb . . .

    Thanks. That's my first concern, 'cause the bass is supposed to be holding the song together. I've only got the Korg X5 for my bass and drums. So far. I don't see a real real bass guitar in my future, but can get a better patch.

    Did the bass sound sound this way all the way through? Or particularly in the beginning, when it was more prevalent in the mix?

    The latest . . . Willie Billie Bong @2012 - still can't figure out the reverb . . .

    Yep, I picked 168 bps early on, when it was just one instrument. The bass is not sequenced, but it is the "picked bass" on a Korg X5. I recorded the bass first with the DP24's metronome. The organ is an Oberheim OB3 organ module. A very early drawbars/leslie module made in Italy. There is much...

    Come-on, rip into it. Waste two-and-a-half minutes of your life listening to it, and pop me on mixing issues. I did hear a bad bass note I'l gonna try to punch out.
