And after spending many hours getting it "perfect" someone else will say they would do it another way. And after changing it again you'll get another opinion. Then after the recording is released, only a very small percentage of the listeners will care or even be able to hear what you think they...

In my opinion, if a mix has to be rescued, it should be remixed before being sent for mastering. I agree, if a good mastering engineer can merely add some polish to the recording and preserve the integrity of the style and feeling of what the artist wants, he is doing his job well. I wouldn't...

I believe the line between objectivity and subjectivity can get rather blurred. True, its almost impossible to be objective about your own work. On the other hand (four fingers and a thumb) when you send something out to be mastered, even though he can be objective because it isn't his work, he...

Blue Bear Sound>>>A skilled ME will catch any problems you may have missed in becoming acclimated to the project over a long period. IMO, the highest compliement you can receive is the ME telling you "there's nothing I can change..." - then you know you REALLY did your job well! Blue Bear...

Mastering I'm probably inviting criticism for this post but I think there is too much emphasis put on "Mastering." I certainly realize that there is an important place for mastering but the bottom line is, the mastering engineer is giving an objective and additional opinion to what has already...

Its my opinion that this forum is for "HOME" recording enthusiasts. I am such a person and I have NO delusions about producing professionally mastered recordings on my VF160 in my home. Therefore, I believe some questions posted here aren't within the context of what this forum is supposed to be...

They should have taken my advice. I told them to get a VF160.

I have a VF160. Please give me some tips on how to best record bass guitar. The bass player will have a Sadowsky 5 string with an Aphex DI box. I appreciate any help you can offer. HWB

I have a VF160 and a friend is coming in to lay down some bass guitar lines. He has a Sadowsky 5 string bass with an Aphex DI box. I would appreciate any tips you all could give me as to the best way to record this. Thanks for your help. HWB

Please advise me on the best way to record a bass guitar with a VF160. Is it better to use a DI Box or plug directly into the Vf160? Thanks HWB

BLUE BEAR..thanks for the reply. I realize that an all in one machine has to have compromises. I also realize that they are geared toward the "wannabee" home recording person like I am and not the professional studios. I agree with you that the person sitting behind the machine is probably more...

Hey BLUE BEAR, do you remember when the digital recording age started? For a while they were making recordings so totally digital they sucked all the good right out of them. Many of those recordings sounded like an am radio, no warmth, no character, just high endish and so clean it was not easy...

I have a VF160 and it definitely does have a demo song. I read in some Fostex literature that not all of the machines have the demo song, for some reason known only to Fostex.

I used TDK SM10 tapes for years. You can record 5 minutes each side, great for one song. I've never had a problem with them. They are a top quality high bias tape, a little expensive but worth it if you want quality. They are made in 20 and 30 minutes also and possibly 60 minutes. I like the...

Originally posted by gospel We are also part time and do approx. 50-60 bookings between March and Oct. I do some contemporary stuff on my own. If you haven't listened to it already you can listen to a song I did on the MR-8. I did the tenor, lead, and baritone on this one. The song is written...

My group is part time, travelling in eastern Canada. We are on a break now and its unknown when or if we will get back at it. I didn't realize you sang Southern Gospel. For some reason I thought you did contemporary. I agree, trying to do your own recording, with a group, at home could end up...

Gospel, I'm a bass singer with a Southern Gospel quartet. I've recorded in Pro studios for many years and have acted as producer for other artists. Six months ago I got into home recording. Its more of a hobby then anything. I'm currently working on a project with my daughter which is going very...

Gospel, I sing Gospel music too and I appreciate the importance of the message. I agree, if you or anyone else prefers to do a complete song over to correct one or two mistakes, thats your choice. However, you probably would agree with me that in the REAL studios, punching in and out is a very...

I agree with Garry and Gospel. No question is "inappropriate" here. Thats how we learn. Come on now, we have to have a sense of humour. (^v^)

Morandae, I agree its not good if you can hear the punch. Sometimes a punch has to be done a few times to get it right. A good vocalist can get the same volume, feel and tonal qualities as the original while doing a punch. Its always nice to have a punch thats flawless and nobody but the singer...
