+ 16 db I've been told by that a Tascam MS16 runs at +16 DB. Would someone explain what that is all about. Secondly, does it require a certian mixing board function to operate correctly ? Thank you, Chuck

Reply Pbass Hi Pbass75, Well, great question. Your over my head now. I'm sure a reply will hit for you soon on that question. Chuck

Nashville approach I hear the popular approach in Nashville is analog first, then into pro tools or some software editing. Their using 1" & 2" units. I'm presently chasing down a Tascam MS16. I'm analog all the way and love it. I have laid down some sweet tracks with my 1/4" fostex M80...

Experience is the best teacher Hi everybody, Great thread here. As I read each point catching up, I was taken back to my first recording efforts years ago. My first set-up was two boom boxes ! I just recorded back and forth adding a part each time. Then the fever struck. Now, 10 years...

Final thank yous I have really picked up some great tips in this thread - thanks everybody! I agree with the last few writers - we have exhausted the subject. Hopefully, many will have better acoustic guitar tracks as a result - I certianly do... Thanks again, Chuck

Records on anything I have a CDRW700 too and love it. By the way, it has recorded one every kind of CDR I put in it, including a plain old data disk at .69 cents each. This thing is great. Chuck

MS16 TASCAM Hi Paulie, I like analog too. My first album was digital and the experience drove me to the analog world. I think the essence of an acoustic guitar can only stand up boldly and warmly in the analog format. I have used a Fostex 8 track 1/4 " reel since my digital experience. I...

I'm moving up from 8 track analog to a TASCAM 16 track 1" reel unit. I would like to build a thread with others who use the MS16.

Re: Mo' Meek Hi KaBudokan, I like the results of having tubes involved in the mixdown. When I come out of my Mackie, I hit the tubes really hard, about 1/2 volume on the input, and about 30% output. Seems like there is much less problem with noise since there is no mic involved. I...

hooks or hoki ??? Hi CyanJaguar, I get put off by artists who build on others work too. I get ideas from other artists, but avoid dancing with the infringement fires. It also takes away the personal satifaction of creating your own work. Good points for sure. - I really want to get my...

Re: The Meeks... Hi KaBudokan, Thanks for the MP3 example. I'll go there and check you out. I'm feeling good about Joe Meek now. I presently have some tracks recorded through my Belarai. I wonder if I can get some of the Joe Meek flavor mixing those tracks down through the Joe Meek unit ...

Creating hooks If you Hook me today, for your songs I will pay. But sing a dull song, I'll give you the gong. Ha Hooks really get hold of us. I suppose we would all be playing hooks if we knew the secret to creating them. Sincerity was mentioned as a key element. Leads, vocals, and other...

MP3 encoders Hi WeAponX, Thank you for the reply and information. You really raised my ears with curiosity here. I did upload with Musicmatch and that may be the problem. Are you saying musicians are taking their songs to places that can upload superior quality ? I don't understand all the...

I've noticed my MP3 playback quality is not near the quality of my CD. Other musicians on MP3 have very good quality in playback. Would this mean the upload was faulty ?

Chord & note hooks I was thinking about those note and chord hooks that are so catchy. Listen to Roy Orbison's "Pretty Women" (I think that is the title). Anyhow, it has a killer little lead hook that grabs you through the song. Sometimes the way a chord or note pattern comes across can be...

Guitar Brands Gcounselman, Never heard of the Breedlove guitars. I play a Lowden myself and do love it. My search for a specific sound started when I heard Geoff Moore in concert years back; I mentioned it earlier in this thread. Once you hear the potential for acoustic sound, it makes life...

Shop around First Hi Buck 62, Thanks for your advise. I will check out the units you mentioned. I like the desser on board idea. I know some people use the desser on their acoustic guitar to clip the harsh harmonic edge. Thanks again Chuck

Joe Meek PreAmp Shakesclown, I like what your saying. I'm about to drop the $ for a VCQ6. Talk meinto OK ? I want to give my acoustic all the silk I can find. Would you reccomend anything better ? Chuck

Same tube Gear Junkey & RE, Does the MP use the same tube also ? How does two channels use the same tube and stay seperate channels ? Chuck

Joe Meek Hi Dobro, Sounds encouraging. I'm about convinced on Joe Meek. I like the EQ and compressor on board. Thanks Chuck
