I'm hoping someone can offer some insight: I am planning on upgrading my current portable recording rig. Right now, I use a Tascam 788 (to get 6 tracks at once) with a Yamaha MG and SP VTB-1 preamps available on the front end. My mics are decent (Earthworks, Beyer, Oktava, Shure, etc.). I...

Anyone have a spare?

I've asked a similar question a while back, but I think I'm changing strategy. I record my jazz trio at live gigs. I have no problems getting good isolation on each instrument except my double bass. I mic it with a Shure Beta 98 HC, a small, clip-on hypercardiod condenser. The sound is...

I know it's a topic that's been beat to death, but I picked up just the modest project pack and wow. The Pultec sounds great. The 1176, even just the SE (light version that comes with project pack) still blows away anything I had in my arsenal before. Not sure I dig the reverb, but...

I'm looking to upgrade my pres at the moment and this came up in my searches. http://recforums.prosoundweb.com/index.php/m/65520/0#msg_65520 Someone compared the Mackie Onyx pres to a Vintech (Neve Clone). I would have expected to hear a more dramatic difference. I hear slightly more high...

On start up I got a message that reads "system check fail". Unit stops booting up at that point. There is no info on this one in the manual that I can find. I'll call Tascam, but I'm asuming I can solve this with a reformat, but I can't get it booted up to get to the menu. Is there another...

When I record my jazz group live, I've been trying different condensers on my bass. Every time, it's the same result - bass sounds great but the off-axis color of the bleed from the drums really degrades the drum sound, or I EQ out the drum bleed and the bass sounds bad. The results are...

Hey folks, I'm trying to get a little more "silky" sound out of the ride cymbal for straight-ahead jazz recordings. The sound now is detailed, but a bit harsh. I have to EQ out alot of the 4k range. I'd rather leave the EQ alone as much as possible. Mic placing is more challenging because...

Something happened that confused me: I normally record my small jazz combo with a Tascam 788 (6 tracks at once), then export the 24-bit Wavs via the 788's CD burner, then mix them in Cubase. Any additional editing if needed can be done in Wavelab. The quality has been good, but not great...

Can anyone tell me if there are before and after sound clips anywhere here or elsewhere demonstrating the UAD-1? Especially the compressors. Anyone with a UAD-1 willing to do a little work? I'm sure there are many here who would be very grateful. Happy politically-correct, non-offensive...

I play in a jazz trio (piano, bass, drums). I like to record live gigs, the performance energy is better. I have been recording my upright bass with a Shure Beta 98 H/C attached to the bridge. The sound is decent, but mostly because I get an acceptable balance of sound vs. isolation in a live...

I'm looking to buy a Soundsraft mixer. Can anyone tell me if the pres on the E series are as good as the M series? Also, do the inserts on the E series function like Mackie ones where if you put the plug in part way, the signal stays in the channel and if it's all the way in the signal drops...
