I spent most of the day programming the DG Stomp and trying to find out what level of bass my monitors are missing. The answer seems to be most of it. Here's the best effort I managed to come up with. I wanted to see how far I could get with just the DG Stomp, so it's a completely raw track...

I've done 4 versions of this in the last 24 hours. Here are two versions with radically different guitar sounds. http://www.jimsoloway.com/TascamDemos/Lost3.mp3 http://www.jimsoloway.com/TascamDemos/LostMind4.mp3

After all the input I got on this forum while I was researching, I just wanted to report back with some results. I settled on the SP B3 and it arrived about a week ago. After a few attempts, this seems to be the best I've come up with so far. People who are familliar with what I've been...

My problem is strictly recording my guitar. I'm running a line out from my amp to the 788. In order to get a strong enough signal to my 788, the peaks in the hotter passages end up overdriving the converters. As I understand it, the compressor in the 788 is digital and kicks in after the...

This is strictly a test of some different recording methods. I've re-recorded the song I posted last week. It's not the greatest performance, but that's not really the point. All I'm after at this point is a clearer, less swampy sound on the 7 string guitar and a more natural vocal. Any...

This is an old Nat King Cole tune. I posted a sample of the guitar part a little earlier. Here's the complete song including the vocals. It's my first effort with my new Studio Projects B3 microphone. I think the soundstill have a ways to go, but I think I'm getting a little closer on both...

After listening to what everyone had to say, I decided to go with a Studio Projects B3. I'll let you know how it goes after it arrives next week. Thanks to everyone for taking the time to help me out.

I recorded this again this morning using an entirely different approach. The music hasn't changed much, which was intentional since the purpose of this exercise is to try to zero in on a good recorded sound for my 7 string. I really appreciated the input on the first version and all comments...

I'm at the point where I'm finally about to buy a mic. The sole function is to record my vocals, a very smooth deep baritone singing mostly jazz standards. I'm recording on a Tascam 788 and using an Audio Buddy Pre-amp. After looking and listening for quite a while, I've pretty much narrowed...

I'm trying to get a decent tone off a guitar that haven't recorded before. It's a Schecter USA Sunset 7 with a Rio Grande Muy Grande humbucker. I'd appreciate any feedback. http://www.jimsoloway.com/TascamDemos/muyblues.mp3

As usual it's solo 7 string guitar and voice. I'm just trying to get the voice and guitar to sound like they're in the same room. Any thoughts? http://www.jimsoloway.com/TascamDemos/Wave1.mp3

This is most definitly lounge music, so if that offends you, don't bother. It's my first effort using an Audio Buddy preamp and if you can take a second, I'm really interested in some feedback on the vocals. Thanks. http://www.jimsoloway.com/TascamDemos/OurDay3.mp3 www.jimsoloway.com

On just about everyone's advise I bought an Audio Buddy pre-amp for recording vocals. Now it's time to run it into my 788. Does it matter if the cables from the pre-amp top the 788 are balanced, or will unbalanced work as well? The length of the cable should be around 3 to 5 feet. Thanks for...

I'm juut starting to experiment with the built in reverb in the 788 and I'd love some feedback. Thanks. http://www.jimsoloway.com/TascamDemos/BringItOnHome.mp3 www.jimsoloway.com

I just started recording at home this week. Here are the first two efforts. The levels are a bit low, but people seem to be enjoying the results anyway. http://www.jimsoloway.com/TascamDemos/SundayKindOfLove.mp3 http://www.jimsoloway.com/TascamDemos/BringItOnHome.mp3 BTW, if you like these...

After sorting through all of the $100-$300 condenser mics and not making a decision. I started to give the SM7 some thought. Is an inexpensive condenser really better than a first rate dynamic mic for vocals? I realize that the SM7 was used for Thriller, but I sound about as different from...

The levels are a bit low so you'll probably have to crank the volume a bit. Thanks for listening and any coments are welcome. http://www.jimsoloway.com/TascamDemos/SundayKindOfLove.mp3 http://www.jimsoloway.com/TascamDemos/BringItOnHome.mp3

I'm trying to decide which of these three, the Marshall V67, Rode NT1, or SP C1. Which ever I get will be my first condenser mic and will be used exclusively for vocals, probably with an Audio Buddy pre-amp. Comments? Thanks.
