Don't discount your efforts. There are still a lot of us who like rock music. . .

DH, I believe you've hurt my feelings. . . (I think my studio is slightly larger than your main board -- wahhh)

I know what you mean. They're Koss Pro4AA's, and the're probably the closest I've ever come to wearing a visegrip on my head :cursing:, but they're very good for isolating the monitor feed when I do vocals (I have to do them in that same little room). I get no bleed through at all to the mic...

Thanks. It sort of sets a mood. I have the lighting worked out so it's not glaring (like from the camera flash), but more of a blue glow with enough white light to be able to read the legends on the equipment. . .

OK, I'm getting the sense that Reaper is "the whole deal"; essentially, that it can do the kind of editing that Audacity does, but it's really capable of much more (like mastering and such, which someone mentioned). I haven't ever worked with a computer-based recording system, but perhaps...

I wasn't sure if I should post such a simple question in the computer recording section, since I'm not really using a computer to record, per se. I track on a 2488, and I really use Audacity for editing purposes only. It's a tad clunky (or I am), but it's far better than trying to edit in the...

OK, let's see if I can do this without falling over my own feet. I just cleaned up my studio a week or so ago, and it suddenly occurred to me that this would be a good time to take some pictures, because "clean" is not its natural state (or mine) :cool: I've seen so many great-looking studios...

That's a great idea! My studio is starting out as a control room, and everything has to be done in there. It's 7' by 9' with a 7' ceiling. In recording vocals I definitely get a "room sound" which is OK on some stuff, but not OK in a general sense. I'm going to try your technique with...

This is looking pretty sharp to me! I sure wish I had that much room to work with. You mention that you're going to be changing your mixing desk configuration, so all I'll note is that you should definitely try to isolate your monitors from whatever surface they're sitting on. Lots of ways to...

Really nice vocal work; wish I could do as well. . . But the overall mix bothers me a bit. I assume you were going for a "mono" effect, but your result sounds rather thin and tinny. The guitar work is very Beatle-esque, but perhaps a bit too out front during vocals. I would really try to...

Air conditioning isn't in my budget (damned little actually is, at this point), and my studio is probably exceptionally small. It's cold right now, so the equipment brings it up to a nice comfy temperature, so ventilation isn't that much of an issue. Except, of course, for oxygen. My present...

I just discovered the mp3 forum tonight. What a revelation. This is such awesome work! I checked out all three versions, and the third is really choice. I don't know, I kinda like the snare sound, and I'd probably bring the backing vocals up a bit more, but then, maybe not. My computer...

If you're in an active band, sureimshure, much depends upon your timeline and where you want to spend your cash. I don't know what you have for a studio set-up. For best results, you'll probably have to do some work on the room itself, and then tally what equipment you have to work with and...

Snow Lizard and Miroslav, and others have pretty much covered the "reality check" end of things. But a lot also depends on your own ends. Are you making music, and recording it, for the pure joy of doing it, or are you looking to create a marketable product? I think many of us fall somewhere...

I know this is an ancient thread, but in case someone should see the title and say "ah, that's the problem that I have", here's one potential answer. I just got a second 2488, and it delivered a similar error message re reading the hard drive. Since it had been shipped to me, I suspected a...

I'm going to be going up north for a few days to visit a friend. He's a sax player, and he has a Tascam 2488 too, but I can't remember whether it's a Mk.II or a Neo. Mine is a venerable Mk.I. I want to take up one of the songs I'm working on so he can lay down a sax track on it. I'm...

Aha. Please disregard the previous post. In perusing other postings, I came across essentially the same question, answered very concisely by two people. The explanation made complete sense; even my dog was nodding. Oh, and to relieve the suspense, YES the returns are the standard line...

Umm. . . Since this thread keeps blooming anew, perhaps I can ask what is probably a stupid question (those are the ones I do best)? Unlike my mixer (Soundcraft M4), the 2488 has the two sends, but no dedicated returns. Are the "returns" simply the line inputs, which then have to be...

LEDs are purty. . .:o
