Let's pretend... If you had to use a Sure SM58 mic to record vocals for a session, [lets imagine your condenser mic was broken OK], and you had to get this thing recorded, what techniques would you use (including compression, mic position, singing style,etc) to get the best from it.

I am using a Fostex vf160 Multitracker. I input all my instruments directly (guitars both acoustic and electric with effects pedal, keyboard, synt drums from the keyboard, electric bass etc ) and input the vocal mic directly which although I have to crank it right up I still manage to get a hot...

Finaly got round to changing the strings on an acoustic I aquired from a frined (swapped an old Fostex 4 track cassette recorder for it!). Anyway i had been disapointed with the results recording the acoustic into my Fostex vf160 using a sure sm58 mic. In desperation i changed the strings on...

OK here's what I plan. I use a Fostex vf160 for recording and mixing, then plan to add the final gloss to the songs using Soundforge v6 with Wavehammer. I'm a newcomer to this software. Cabn anyone advise on what the steps are to 'master' my recordings using Soundforge. What I want to achieve...

Sorry if this has been proposed before and I've missed the thread. Would it be helpful if this group were subdivided by multitracker type? For example a sub-menu with MR8, vf160, Fostex 4 Trackers, etc listed as a further choice? Reason i ask is most posts here seem to be for MR8 owners and i...

Anybody know anything about these people? http://www.musicoven.com/ Apparently they will play your unsigned music in bars and restaurants etc and even anounce your web site address, all at no cost! Sounds too good to be true, so it probably is. Wondered if anyone had given them a try? I'd...

I was trying to burn a CD including some commercial songs and one of mine. I noticed that the volume level was a lot lower for my song and decided to have a go at increasing the loudness via Soundforge, as i've read about other people doing this. Looking at the wave form displayed in SF of the...

I noticed on the Fostex site I can upgrade my system software for the vf160 to version 1.13. However, in true fostex manual style it doesn't say WHY i would want to do that. So can anyone say what noticeable benefits I'd gain through upgrading?

Simple question. When using internal mixdown on the vf160 how do you guys make sure you get the highest possible sound without clipping? Should I be looking at the virtual meters and making sure they are near the top, or around 0db's? I'm not sure about this apsect, but I know I want my CDs to...

Is there a major difference between the vf16 and the vf160? I seem to see a lot of vf16 users on forums like this but not many vf160? Also, where can I download the latest version of the vf160 software? The OFFICIAL site please.

I have used Soundforge in the past, but have gone on to Multitrack recording currently using a Fostex vf160. My question is the Soundforge Normalize function - would this be an easy way of 'mastering' my final mixes from the multitracker? What i want to achieve is a home produced 'album' over...
