This recording was only a quick demo but I'm having the same problem with all my tracks...basically there's a LOT of hiss and the quality just diminishes overall when I transfer it to a computer via USB. I'm recording on a Tascam 488 cassette and using adapters to go through an EMU 0204 (which I...

probably right!!

How does he get that?? (Also what mic is that? Not that he's necessarily using it to record with, but out of interest!) Cheers :)

All by myself (maybe the drums and bass at the same time though) but probably one at a time

Thanks Jimmy, I'm on analogue though otherwise that looks like the job!

Taken from the Sand Band's home studio, 'the Ether'. Amazing sound on their record, would love to know what they used...I know it was selfproduced and recorded on a Tascam 488 mk II.

Thanks, i think a compressor is really necessary as I'm getting some rubbish bass tones just going DI at the moment. Would I be right in thinking that even a *bad* preamp will be better than no preamp at all? Or is that generally not the case?

Hi, basically I'm entering a competition of sorts and I need some reasonable quality recordings as part of a portfolio...At the moment I've got a Tascam 488 mkII but I don't have a compressor or any sort of external preamp. I'll be recording drums, bass, guitar, vocals...maybe even some stringed...

Hi all, tried this out and got the track to the Pc with audacity but it just sounds....flat?...compared to headphones in the 488. is this commonw hen transferring analogue to digital or is there a more common way round it? thanks

If you want I'll sell you a life story About a man who's.. I can sing the part in bold with falsetto but I can rarely get the note without it...I don't think he's singing it falsetto but if I keep practising will I be able to sing it without falsetto as good as he does? Cheers

Ah yeah you're right...just the store I usually go to says they're discontinued. Still probably better value to get one used though!

Thanks, these look good and the price isn't too bad either. Shame they've been discontinued over here though, will have to look at 2nd hand I think

For acoustic guitar: decent affordable beginners-ish mic yes or no? :D

Thanks, the golden age pre looks idea (but the price doesn't!) I'll have to get saving. the above alternative sounds ok as well...now I'm started on ribbon mics though :/

Ah ok thanks, I'm generally a newb so I'll avoid the budget tubes then...I'm going into a Tascam 488 mk II so the M-Audio DMP3 should suffice? I'm not even that clued up what a pre-amp is for other than boosting a signal! lol

I'm after a tube pre-amp at a cheap(ish) price...but not too cheap that it's poor quality! I saw the Art Tube mentioned but I've read that it isn't all that great...can someone give me something else to look at? Around £100 would be ideal, give or take a bit! Cheers

Thanks for the input! I've also checked the other thread and i think adapters are the way forward...I think it should be ok now!

Thanks for the comments guys, very helpful. That would be great Bisson, I'll get the tracks to you when I get a moment. Thanks again!

Thanks the the replies. I've remixed it (again) but the main problem is the sort of ringing noise with he bass at the beginning...any idea how to remove it? or prevent it from happening? cheers tennesse 14/12 by justwilliamandtheoutlaws on SoundCloud - Create, record and share your sounds for free

Anyone? I'm kind of in a rush to get some CDs made for a gig on Friday...
