I bought a Fast Track II (w/phantom power) from CL for $35. Take your time....look and you'll find one.

The first question that comes to my mind is how hot are you tracking?

I use Mixcraft 5 as well but, I'm not sure what you're question is? I'm not familiar with the NANOPAD but, I'm assuming this is a USB device. If so, Mixcraft should pick it up when it's plugged in. You may get more help here...... Acoustica User Forums :: View Forum - Mixcraft

I can't stand click tracks either so, I scored a cheap drum machine from eBay and either used one of the pre-programmed tracks supplied or create my own simple kick-snare beats to play along to. Works out great and doesn't sound too unnatural. I don't program any drum tracks that a real...

Check out your local Craigslist as well. I picked up a used M Audio Fast Track II for $35.

Garageband. IMO....it has a shorter learning curve and will get you started quicker. Check out your local Guitar Center. They host free Home Recording Workshops at 10am on Saturday mornings. They're an Apple VAR so they use Garageband for their platform for the workshops.

Assuming this IS for live performance, do you already have a power amp as well or are you looking for a powered mixer as well? The Yamaha EMX is a great lineup of lightweight powered mixers.I recently purchased an EMX212S for my band and love it.

FYI.......Guitar Center has just revived their free "Home Recording Workshop" series on Saturday mornings from 10am to 11am. I attended them last winter and they really did answer a lot of questions. They're presented using a Mac and GarageBand so it would probably be very helpful to you to...

Yay another necrothread! Mixcraft 5 myself. Very easy to use, lots of royalty free loops included and great online Tech Support.

Hi and welcome! You may get a better response to your question in the Boss users forum. It's a little further down the main page.

Thanks. Since I started down this road about 6 months ago, I'm starting to see that experimentation is key in lots of areas and for lots of reason. And that's sort of where the second question was leading. Would a stomp box type of compressor be sufficient to begin to understand the basics...

OK. So it seems that the general opinion around here is to record everything dry and add effects later. Sounds logical since once you've recorded a track with effects in place, they can't be removed. Not true when recorded dry. Recently, I found an instructional video that demonstrated a...

Here's my favorite. Ease to get started for a newbie like me..... Mixcraft 5 - Affordable multi-track audio and MIDI recording software.

^ This. Suits all my needs....at the moment.

I believe the outputs on the Tascam are RCA style connectors and they would go to the Line In of the cassette deck. The hardware is readily available at Radio Shack.

I traded a Tascam Porta02 MkII for my Boss Micro BR. I use it in conjunction with my DAW. It's very small and easily fits in my gigbag. I record rehearsals on it every week and then transfer them to my DAW when I get home.

From one newb to another......welcome!

Hi and welcome! I use a Micro BR to record band rehearsals and quick ideas. A couple of things...... You shouldn't need to connect it to your computer unless/until you want to transfer files. That said, be sure you're selecting the right input from the front panel (MIC, GTR, etc.....). For...

Double post.....sorry!

That's what I'm doing now in Mixcraft 5 but, I'd like to try to automate it. But, it does the trick....for now!
