    can someone recommend a patchbay for a tascam 38?

    You didn't mention this, but I am curious . . are you using anything for noise reduction? I ask because I had a couple of Tascam DX-4D dbx reduction units patched into my old 38. Worked well. I still see plenty on Reverb : https://reverb.com/item/82425794-tascam-dx-4d-noise-reduction-unit-pair

    Guitars too crisp and crunchy

    Ditto. The opening progression and vocal reminded me of The Cranberries' Go All The Way.

    Blue Ridge Buzz

    When I resided in Rockville, Md. some 25+ years ago, I had all of mine fixed/repaired by Mike Dove. He operated out of multiple stores as well as his home in the DC/Md/Va metro area. Not sure he's still in the area, probably is. He allowed me to bring my guitars to his home - that was close to...

    Audiobox USB96 Problem ??

    Don't know if this will help any, my situation didn't involve MIDI, just lack of audio. Your's could be totally different. Under the Actions tab (Show actions list) you can add a ReaScript to reset your Audio Device. I had a similar situation with my previous Tascam interface. When I opened...

    EP recorded with the Tascam DP-03

    Welcome, Michael. How about some details on what gear was used and how you got this done. 1. What mics were used for guitar and vocal. How were they connected to the DP-03. 2. What guitar(s) were used. Were they miked or plugged directly into an interface. 3. What did you use for drums and how...

    New Original Song (Feedback Much Appreciated)

    You could experiment with an amp sim on the vocal track. Use one with Master and Volume controls. Raise the (amp) channel volume to add/increase distortion. Each amp sim will sound different. It can get pretty messy when solo'd, maybe not too bad in the mix.

    New Original Song (Feedback Much Appreciated)

    I like it, but the vocal was a bit shrill to my ears. I did a little EQ-ing to reduce that and it seemed to bring it into the mix.

    Here is one I’m about to mix, opinions on this rough track appreciated!

    Just took a quick listen - Many a Mile and Walk Beside Me. Sort of folk music with an edge. I like it very much. Great voice.

    Here is one I’m about to mix, opinions on this rough track appreciated!

    Robin Trower meets Steppenwolf (a la The Pusher live at the Matrix 1967) ;) Are these unmixed tracks? The vocal seems to need the most attention to start. Not the lyrics, yet. . Just cleaning up a bit.

    Sound proofing a window - can I just make a big sound panel?

    Glad to help. Should you go ahead with the Roxul insulation, you'll have lots left over. You could make some wood frames and fill them with Roxul, then wrap with cloth or plastic mesh screening such as used in gardens to block weed growth. These would be free-standing so you could place them...

    Sound proofing a window - can I just make a big sound panel?

    No frame. I cut the Roxul with fabric shears - made a rectangle approx 1-inch larger than window recess. Wrapped in cotton sheet material (bought a cheap sheet at Walmart), tied with twine, then placed it over the recess and lightly pressed the edges only until flush with wall. Tension holds it...

    Sound proofing a window - can I just make a big sound panel?

    What does the uncovered window look like? If it is recessed, fill the recessed area with Safe-N-Sound Roxul sound insulation - at least 3 or 4 inches thick. This is available in bundles from Home Depot and Lowe's. I did my bedroom studio window and it cut the exterior street noise by 98%...

    Acoustic panels or acoustic foam? Room treatment

    It is. I fiberglass paneled our practice basement and spent the week taking 2-3 showers each day to remove as much of it as possible. More recently, I have cut up a bundle of Safe-N-Sound Rockwool using fabric shears. The Rockwool cuts like butter with little to no shedding. Sawing with a knife...
