In the end it is a matter of personal taste and partly the OS of your computer. On windows many people use reaper, ... on Mac you have Garage Band ... on Linux you have Ardour. As a programmer that is working on computers the whole day, I deliberately got a Tascam 24SD to not spend my whole free...

So these are actual pictures? Crazy! I totally thought this is a computer rendered shadow effect. :LOL: I have not album artworks to present but just some thumbnail images for mp3 uploads. ? Everything done in Blender3D for different music styles (heavy/rock, jazz, classical, irish/celtic).

The second mix is a huge improvement! Keep it up! @Monkey Allen That's indeed interesting, as the low note of a bass is around what, 40 Hz? Nevertheless on most average speakers these frequencies will not be present much and when listening to a bass over e.g. smartphone speakers you hear the...

I agree that the biggest problem with the mix are the very dominant main vocals. It's hard to focus on anything else once they start. ? But it could turn out nice once this problem is removed.

Sounds nice! Reminds me of the band Rotor (instrumental stoner rock) from Berlin. 8-)

Did not have the time to listen to your song yet, but cheap smartphone speakers have a focus on the high frequencies. Could be that these frequencies are not so dominant on your PC speakers during mixing. ... And yes, it is one of the tasks of mastering to make audio sound good on various...

Nice song. I like the sound. Reminds me a bit on "coast to coast" by the scorpions.

Nice mix, very relaxing. The only thing that bugs me is some part of the drums that does almost constantly play in sixteenth (or some fast pace). This creates some nervous feeling and contradicts the overall calm mood of the song.

So here is another Irish guitar tune. This time only some reverb and a tiny bit of EQ (used the built-in 3-band-EQ of the pickups). Hope you like it.

It turns out that plugging the guitar directly into the Tascam improves the sound alot. Thanks for the tipp! (y) After some research in the web I found out why the PodGo screwed up the sound. Apparently, the built-in amp/cabinet simulations are optimized for electric guitars only and work not so...

Thanks for the response. I will give it a try and record it with the guitar directly plugged into the Tascam. Maybe less is more ;) In the Greensleeves song I noticed that I probably did the mastering in the wrong order. I normalized before applying a compressor, what could lead to clipping...

Hello all! Lately I played a few irish/english folk songs on acoustic guitar and decided to give it a try recording. ? Attached are two songs: Greensleeves ... pure acoustic guitar, from my Ovation Celebrity in a Line6 pod go, adding some reverb, delay and an effect called "ubiquitous vibe" ...

Yes, you have to record twice at least. No copy&paste! For explanations, there are many YouTube tutorials out there. Just look for "double tracking guitar" or similar keywords.

Well, first of all metal/hard rock easily sounds like muddy sh*t if it is not played perfectly on time. Also, there is a huge difference between a good guitar sound while practicing (tons of base and distortion make it sound cool) and a good sound in a band context. In order to get a good rhythm...

As mentioned above I have no idea about tape machines. :D But what do you mean with drift? Shouldn't a recording device be able to output the recorded sound at the exact same speed/frequency that it was originally played?

No idea about the tape machines, but having a DP24SD myself I can say it can record 8 tracks simultaneously. So, depending on your tape deck, you can either play the tracks one after another and save them on different tracks on the DP24 or (if the tape deck has enough outputs) up to 8...

Well, obviously the pickups just record the dry instrument without any influence of the room. That can be good or bad. If you live in a flat without good sound isolation, a nice take can be destroyed by a barking dog or screaming child of a neighbor. Mics record everything. With a pickup this...

If you do not have a silent room with good acoustics, you could also look at a pickup system for the violin.

It is not so much the frequency that could damage the speakers but the signal strength/loudness. Just plug it in at low volume and then gradually increase volume. If it starts distorting it is too much for the speakers and you should turn back the volume.

I agree. USB is not the bottleneck. Assuming you want to record guitar/voice in stereo (otherwise there is no need for 4 output channels) you would need 4 mono input channels ( = 2 stereo channels). Just check what is in store. Behringer interfaces are usually the cheapest but work well. Other...
