being that I work 8 hours a day, i'm probobly on this site for about 1-2 hours a day. I probobly end up with a recording project about every couple weeks, be it recording my band at practice or recording a demo for another band. lets say that takes about 5 hours every two weeks. I listen to...

This thread is kind of like a hanging curve ball... anybody else gonna take a swing?

it HOME recording. Most of us are not pro's and don't claim to be. I am at my day job right now and i come to this website to kill time, learn something and share what i know. Yes, if i had a million dollar pro studio that was constantly booked, i probobly wouldn't be here. maybe you should...

I certainly appriciate the passion with which you guys are arguing over my question. :D Maybe what i should have asked was this: I am planning on sinking $300 into my recording setup. I am considering getting a preamp, but i want one thats quiet enough to power an old ribbon. Is there...

The reason that a lot of metal is in E minor/pentatonic is simply because guitar is easy to play in that key. Try playing master of puppets in F without re-tuning your guitar and you'll see why.;)

very cool post!

I agree with the cheap behringer mixer idea. sounds like its in your budget- i recorded like that for years. Just buy one at a local music store, not online. It seems like one out of four behringers has something wrong with it, so you might have to return it.

With all that gear, it better damn well sound great...

That floor tom head looks a little loose to me...

thats exactly the kind of advice i was looking for , thanks :D The chameleon labs 7602 looks pretty nice. I'm also into the idea of older pre's like the ampex stuff from the sixties. Although I doubt they have as much clean gain as newer pre's. Plus i hear you have to know how to wrench them...

something about this seems wrong... You should be able to get good results recording a live acoustic set. It may not sound like it was recorded in a pro studio, but that wont ruin the music, it may even add character to the recording. To me electric drums will always sound like electric drums. I...

I know this topic has been done to death, but my question is pretty specific to my situation, so i'll ask anyway... I'm trying to power an old ribbon mic that i have. It's one of those reslo "beatles style" mics. It sounds Ok through my mixer, but it needs a lot of gain and gets a little...

not neccisarily, you could just use a single RCA cable to go into your recorder. just use either the right or left output on the mixer and go into whatever track you want to record to. If you're going to the trouble of putting up to 8 mics on the drums, you might as well record onto two tracks...

I curious about trying some non-backcoated tape for a few sessions. I'd like to hear what it sounds like first of all, i assume it sounds more "vintage" if that means anything... Also, is it true that it doesn't suffer from sticky shed? that would be a huge selling point for me. I'm also...

if i understand correctly, sounds like a four channel mixer is what you need. you could put four mics on a drumset, run them through the mixer and into one or two of the tracks on your recorder. you could then add your guitar bass and vocal tracks to the other three tracks (you could use the...

Hey- don't say anything bad about the meat puppets... ;)

I'll join in this little circle jerk... I'm just listing the good stuff here. Recorders: Tascam TSR-8 Tascam 414 mkII Mixer: Allen & Heath Mixwizard3 16 channel Mics: 2x Audio Technica 4040s Beyer M201 Shure SM57 Shure PG58 Sennheiser 421 Reslo Ribbon mic (but i have no tuchel cable :mad: )...

thats pretty interesting... I wonder what kind of tape they are using to make those copies and where they're getting it? and i wonder how much they'll cost....

dammit thats what I use... god help us.

this is bad news. i assume you are talking about 1/4" tape right?
