My dear and often most helpful colleagues, Perhaps this question has already been posed and answered a hundred times, NONETHELESS - one of my good friends and professional singer songwriter as well as excellent recording technician (but who lives in a different country than I) insists that I...

Hello my dear camarades, Suddenly (1 year after its purchase) the INPUT B on my Tascam DP-24 is out of order. As I only use two microphone INPUTS at a time, it's not a big problem, I've just moved on to INPUT C. Question: is this an irremediable problem, I mean, do I have to take it back to the...

You are just WONDERFUL! Thank you very much for answering my question so quickly and so clearly. In truth, I already have some overdrive possibilities in my TASCAM DP-24, but of course, they are somewhat limited. I love to be able to record pure acoustic sounds and also some distortion leads on...

Hello to the guitar-playing contingency of homerecording.com! Has anyone amongst you bought the ZOOM A3 and more importantly, do you LOVE it? And... Does it have great distortion/overdrive possibilities? In the YouTube demonstrations, no one speaks of such things. Thanks for any and all...

Hi again! And now, can anyone tell me why I should buy the KORG M50 when I can have a KORG KROME for a little bit less cash? Thank you again.

Hi! And what about the KORG M50 that I'm just about to buy? Any comments based on experience? Thank you very much!

Hello fellow music-makers, My Roland JX-305 just passed away after being bonged on the noggin by a falling book. I think this accident is for the best because this synthesizer, as wonderful as it may be, was not REALLY SUITED to my musical intentions. I am not at all disco/techno/not...

Thanks MICKSTER. You're right, the more consciously I apply everything you've suggested so far, the better things go. It would seem as though I've found my cruising speed and altitude now with my DP-24. I'm backing up my files onto a flash card as well as onto my laptop. Thank you once again...

In the passion of recording, I neglected to transfer my files to my laptop. I think somehow that it's very difficult for me to believe that my Tascam is going to erase or otherwise destroy my work. I never had this kind of experience before and it seems to me that there should be built-in safety...

You are really too much. Thank you once again. This "complete song" of which you speak, can I then break it down into its original tracks? The only time I've used the AUDIO DEPOT export function was to send a partially-finished song to a drummer friend of mine. I immediately understood that I...

Hello Mickster, Thanks for your rapid response to my S.O.S. Your intuition was right - the fun began just following an Undo, but after that some kind of strange spirit just took over the whole thing, with the result being that I have to start all over. I accept the lesson. This time, working on...

NOW… 5 January 2015 Here's one for the BUG BOOK! The thing started doing goofy stuff, like repeating phrases, then when I asked it kindly to calm down a bit (no kicking, like we used to do with refrigerators and washing machines to get them working again, of course) it announced FILE ERROR, so...

I'm going to stay clean from now on. Promise. Thanks once again. BIG THANKS!

You guys are FANTASTIC! As I already said to Mickster, it's like having a new family, being a member of Homerecording.com. Yes, I had more than 1 GB of unused data on the song I'm currently recording. Skinnied it down and everything started working again. Amazing, because in the INFO section I...

Thank you all for your educated assistance. I'm going to do some housework in there, see what happens. Now, could THIS be a related problem? Okay, 1st of all - very slow in several operations. But now - "writing failed"… So, I went to Preferences and "initialized" and next - I restarted, as...

HELP! My more-and-more beloved Tascam DP-24 seems to have a problem. When I start it up, it takes over a minute to become operational. Same waiting period for the Mastering function and also for the Disconnect USB. The other functions don't have this problem, at least so far. What could this...

No, I always normalize after applying compression. The tracks were all recorded in between -12dB and -24dB. The "sparks" made a banging noise and after two or three times, the playback stopped. Unless... if the normalization stays stuck to the mix even after having re-mixed the tracks that had...

Hello, It's me again! I recorded a song, just to see for the quality, using the 24 bit/48 kHz format. Everything was quite wonderful until it came time to do the Mastering. I tried boosting the sound level with Compression (library CD) and when listening back, it overloaded, distorted and even...

You're like having a personal coach! Thank you so much for your help. I'm beginning to catch on, I think. Today I recorded the vocal part on my "work/study song" completely dry, then adjusted the EQ, as you suggested on the TRACK, then put what seemed to be at least "not too bad" back onto the...

So far, so good. My recording experiences are becoming more and more satisfying thanks to the generous assistance of some of you great people out there. Now if I can get THIS little technical difficulty right, I'll be on my way to doing what I love to do the most - MAKING MUSIC! As a singer...
