Yeah I love our cats, but my wife legitimately sees them as our children. They're great, lots of fun, very sweet and comforting but... they're also animals living indoors and they're f#@$ing filthy sometimes! Luckily the three of ours are pretty good cats, but when I was 16 we had a family cat...

I’ve moved my entire home studio to iOS music production, my ProTools desktop rig is in a box in the closet. I use an iPad Air 2 and like waterbound I have both Auria Pro & Cubasis 2. Auria is my main DAW, it’s like the maker WaveMachine Labs beat Avid to the punch by putting out a de facto Pro...

Thank you Robbie, that's nice of you to say. Enjoy your 488 MkII, be cool...

Sweet brother! I loved my 488mkII so much...used it pretty much as my main songwriting/demo studio recorder from 1998 to 2009. I've been using iOS Music Production apps as my main recording set up, the excellent DAW Auria Pro, etc. but I still have my 488mkII in the closet if needed. Be cool &...

THANK YOU!!! I love getting the recording process of songs, we're all here doing this because it fascinates us. Apologies to Findley for hijacking his thread, lol...but this has to be gold to him as well. So cool how you really used the 246 as another color on the palette. It really added a...

Chad I kept getting these earworms yesterday and I'd say "What is that?" and it quickly occurred to me I was thinking about your "World Getting Faster" rhythm track! Seriously it's so good, I've listened repeatedly slack jawed.... I'm never a dick to cats online who are brave enough to post...

Beag I think you hit it on the head about the lack of maintenance to PortaStudio's. I'm remembering a few different times where a few guys called me anal for cleaning the heads, pinch roller & demagnetizing if needed. But their Porta 02's or Fostex machines would sound awful because they DIDN'T...

Beagle that track sounds so damn good man, I listened twice, once through the speaker on my phone (I know, awful, but it is what so many people now consume music on) and then on headphones, and was blown away by the depth and detail the track has. The acoustics are just beautiful, so airy but...

I love that Apple have now set the precedent of going back to the pre bounce session tapes for remixes. They first did it for the "Yellow Submarine Songtrack" CD, which was the stereo mix companion of the 5.1 mixes done for the remastered version of the film. But since that was for the film and...

Alan you are certainly not a fuddy duddy, you're a sane person who appreciates the integrity of the original artistic endeavor. Hey they may be able to make "Starry Night" look better with new paint formulations but should some guy slather it over Van Gogh's epochal painting?! Of course not...

Sweet you putting that cassette on the top of one the MG1212's certainly gives some perspective on how huge they are. I love oddities like these, any kind of mixer-recorder combo really fascinates me, probably the kinship of learning on, and then using, cassette multitrack Tascam units for so...

Android's OS and devices are great, I have used them since early 2010, but when it comes to music production the iOS format is where it's at. The developers have put their money on Apple from the beginning and if they do make an Android version of an app it usually takes a long time to...

Do any of you guys & gals experience any analog habits, techniques or procedures that you find yourself using when recording in the digital realm? Even when seemingly unnecessary? I know a lot of us who frequent the Analog section of the forum may not use digital all the time or will use it in...

I have been a forum member for quite awhile and just lurk a lot of the time.:eatpopcorn: I gotta echo Sweet's comment though from this page and thank you Ghost for laying these treasures on us. You never fail to amaze and your facility with the 'Shop program is just incredible. I've worked...

Aww Beag' that kicks ass! I love that controller for the R2R that is bigger than it is! Lol...Fostex stuff gets over shadowed by the Tascam mystique but they made excellent stuff. That Yamaha mixer, the ART VLA, the patch bay with spaghetti everywhere...!! To the OP, THAT is analog recording! It...

I started recording in 1993 on a Tascam 424 cassette PortaStudio when I was 18 yrs old. Just the fact I could lay down a drum track, add a bass line and then add guitars and vocal was amazing, even if the sound quality wasn't perfect. That made things like cleaning tape heads, conditioning...

TEAC service center...here I come! Wow, this thread has been a great one; the insight shows me that my beloved 488mkII has more life in her! I bought mine new in 1998 and it served me well for years but the last few times I fired it up a few pots were scratchy on the "low issue" while the...

Wow Chris! Those records were heavy man! I'm a huge fan of music concrete/sound painting type stuff, but your songs had some rhythm and melody elements that were beautiful. I've done some 'experimental' tracks too; my ReverbNation site has an album I made in 1999 called 'Organ Loner' that was...

Miser your bass sound always makes me smile. Excellent! The groove is just reggae enough; not too sticky and stilted like some if it can be. A Sabbath/Dub track is certainly unique, great job. I've been away from the clinic awhile and checked out your other 2010 efforts and was knocked out...

Let's go, let's go, let's go... What a great post and video. As a diehard Macca fan, especially of the Wings era, seeing the cats he worked with in Nashville rolling the original tapes of the sessions was unreal! Thanks brother...
