Remember too, that anything you record to your DAW is a mono file, but you can place them with the PAN control. Record 3 vocals, put one full left, one full right and one centered and you get stereo. Each channel can be placed anywhere in the soundfield with the pan control. One issue I...

I've done a similar thing with my AW1600. I had originally mixed them down, so I had project files with effects added, just as you would with a DAW. When connected to a computer, the drive just looks like any USB drive. It makes for easy backup and restore. For someone wanted to work...

I'm with Steve. My days of gathering parts and assembling computers is pretty much over. I can still get inside and rip the guts out if needed, but there are so many places that will put together machines for not much more, that it's not worth the hassle. I would probably stick with an...

Section 6 of the Tascam 2488 manual. https://tascam.com/downloads/tascam/353/2488_manual.pdf You will need to use a computer, I don't think you can just hook up an external drive. Such things didn't really exist when the 2488 was made in 2004.

Sometimes it turns out to be the simplest of things. Glad it's working for you now.

You should be able to direct monitor by hitting the direct monitor button and then turning up the output knob. That reroutes the input straight to the headphone jack, so there is no delay from routing through the computer. If that works (it should) then you can turn the direct monitoring off...

I've been using the Bricasti M7 impulse files with Reaper. You can find various versions in the Wayback Machine. Wayback Machine Bricasti M7 Files

Not knowing all the settings you are using right now, this info might be valuable. You SHOULD be able to hear both channels. Important: On Windows, Zoom will only be able to receive audio from the first two inputs of an audio device. This is because it does not support multi-channel ASIO...

What model is the passive pickup that you have for your guitar? Some basic piezo pickups are very low output. It may be that the pickup is a bit too low for the UMC22 unless the gain is completely maxed. Adding the Loudbox to boost the signal, then recording it would certainly help. You...

What???? Where you put the mic makes a difference??? 😲 Who'd have thunk it? Thanks for posting this. Hopefully folks will check it out.

Rob, this a perfect example of storytelling in a song. Chapin was a master.

I find the fact that you don't pay attention to lyrics fascinating. I'm totally the opposite. Some of my favorite songs were by folks like Harry Chapin, Jim Croce, Paul Simon, etc., who told a lot of stories in their songs. Then you have the other end of the spectrum, like Yes...

Something you might look into is a noise gate, set very low, like 30-40 dB below what your good signal level is reading. Have a look ahead of maybe 10-15ms set to avoid cutting off your voice. I took your RE20 Unedited, normalized it so I didn't have to pump up the fader, and added a noise...

A fellow once posted a really nice rendition of a blues song, with his voice and guitar sounding like something out of the 40s. The only problem was is was crystal clear, no noise, or anything. Just on a whim, I found some old scratchy record noise, looped it and mixed it underneath...

Yes, I've seen that one. Love watching Steve Howe do Long Distance Runaround on the acoustic. Yes is near the tops for pure musicianship among rock bands.
