Well, not really, but here's my problem...I uploaded some stereo drum tracks via USB, assigned them to 1/2, and went to play them and see how they sounded. Not bad. So I plug in my guitar to play along a bit and see how it sounds, and when I raised the 3rd fader...I hear that funky demo guitar...
Sprechen ze Deutsche? :confused:
So you're saying I should still plug my guitar into the guitar line-in, in the front of the Neo, and run my amp's line out to one of the inputs on the back of the Neo (E through H)?
Just got started using my Neo today, and I just plugged my guitar straight into the input on the front (which the manual says is for "passive"). Sounded great, recorded some samples, etc...now what if I want to run my guitar from my amp into the Neo? Like, using the emulated output on my amp...
Another stupid newb question: it always seems that most people record dry or raw tracks, then add effects later, but I've always wondered why this is the case. What is the disadvantage of using, say, an external flanger or overdrive pedal and plugging into a multi-track and recording it that way...
Right now, especially in light of what you guys are telling me, I'm leaning towards the Tascam 2488 Neo. It has 250 virtual tracks, and can playback 24 tracks, if I'm understanding it right. "Playback" just simply means playing all of the recorded tracks at once to mix them into the final...
Ahh okay, so it is a thing limited to only certain recorders then. The Boss BR-800, BR-864, Zoom HD16CD, and the Tascam Neo have that feature. So that may be what I'm looking for, as far as having nearly unlimited tracks to add all kinds of musical parts?
I'm looking to get a decent home recording setup (mostly multi-track/hardware vs. PC-based interface), and I've been looking at a lot of BOSS, Tascam, and Fostex stuff mainly, and mostly 8-tracks. I'll probably just be recording myself, at least for the short-term, playing guitar tracks...
