There ain't no such thing as "better". There is "better for your needs". If you have a nice soundning room, A condenser a few feet away from the amp will give you some awsome sounds. Personaly, I love it. I had good results with an MXL 1006. If your doesn't sound as good, you might want another...

Yes. It's been known to work. I'm not sure if you have to put a blank tape in and press Record & Pause, but you can easily find out... Oren

Here's another overseas greeting.:) Happy Birthday, and Mazel Tov. Oren

Chip - Right near the Control Room volume control, you have these little black buttons. One says "2TK to Main Mix" and the other "2TK to Control Room". You should makwe sure that 2TK to Control Room is active, and not the other one. Also make sure that the Phnoes/Control Room volume is set...

chippedeggtooth - Here's how I connected a small Behringer to my sound card (when I had one): Main Out -> Computer Line In Control Room -> Speakers Computer LIne Out -> 2-Track In Make sure that 2-Track to Control is active, and not 2-Track to Main Mix. That way, you will hear the computer...

Really nice Roel. She plays beautifuly. It's really nice to hear a real piano. What kind of Piano is it? I don't really have anything to add about the recording that wasn't already been said. But I'm looking forward to hearing another attempt using the ECMs. Oren

You may want to look at the Yamaha PSR-GX76. It has 76 keys, and some nice accompaniments (Nothing to write home about, but does the job...). It's dirt cheap too (300$ish). Great value for money. Oren

When doing layering (one voice at a time), I like to use a dynamic microphone. Since I'm going for a compressed sound, and want it as tight as possible, I don't really want all the detail that a LD condenser would give. An SM-57/58 does a great job on layering. If they're all singing together, I...

Nice idea! Nice song as well... Well... I didn't care much for the CAD. It sounded thinner then the others, and I think it was a tiny bit distorted, but then, I could be wrong. The SP and the MXL were the definitly better then the other 2. Both had a different flavour, and the proximity effect...

A friend of mine has an Art Tube MP. I don't really care for it on vocals. It's just not clean enough (although that's what you may be looking for... I'm not...), but I really like it on guitars (Accoustic and Electric), and it's also a great bass D.I. Oren

Hmm... I'd take it to the store you bought it in, and ask to compare it with another one. It's not supposed to sound like this... Oren

Give it another 5-10 minutes. Not done uploading yet. :)

Erland - Tried to PM you, but your box is full... Anyway - I got the organ track done. Have a listen, and tell me if you like it. If you don't, I'll take it off my page. www.nowhereradio.com/Eejit/singles Oren

Yeah, a home studio is in fact a bottomless pit. Main thing is to concertrate on the gear you really need, and not on the gear that looks cool. Those little USB interfaces work with any USB equiped computer, regardless of the installed soundcard. I haven't heared the quality of this specific...

The Tape Out is actually a duplicate of the Main Mix output, only in -10 RCA connection. Sounds perfect for your needs. Oren

And cheap, too! www.esi-pro.com The Waveterminal 192X/L looks really promising. Anyone tried these? Oren

Roland produce these cute little USB audio interfaces for laptops, which yuo can get for like 80$. They have RCA line in and line out, which is just what you need. Cheaper, and a lot better then any cassete deck...

Whoopysnorp - That does sound like a great idea! I would really like to try it out... I did check out the tape deck today, and it's in pretty awfull condition. I am going to check for how much I can fix it, and then I may be able to do some experiments. Oren

Thanks for all the info! John - That was a really interesting article. The writer seems biased a little, but it was interesting none the less. Kent - I was referring to a 1/4" 2-track, that I can get for practically nothing. I don't really know what brand, or how good it is. I still have to...

Scott - I'd check out www.soundprofessionals.com They're experts in field recording, usually using minidisk recorders. I have their simplest T-style stereo mic, and it's great for field work, if you're not playing stuff that's too loud. If you are, you should consider their battery module...
