Thanks, Rich. This is probably the friendliest forum outta all of them. Appreciate it, man. Cheers.

oops, I see now this should be in the Analog Recording thread! My bad!!

Heyla aloha! I have a Scarlett Focusrite 8i6 coming in the mail tomorrow, and realize I may not have the right cables for the job. So I'm just double checking. I'd like to use the Scarlett to record into my Tascam 22-4, which has 4 RCA inputs and 4 RCA outputs. The cables I have are 2 RCA to 2...

DUDE. Has anyone told you you sound just like Lindsay Buckingham?! Mean this as a major compliment, great voice. Nice track!

Thank you very much for the info, cavedog. I envy your mic collection! + I've added all the ones to my ever-growing list of mic's to check out now! Very cool, very great. Appreciate it. Cheers!!

I'll keep checking craigslist daily then! Thanks G. I'm a little worried about buying used gear though, as I am a rookie, and don't know exactly what to look for, that is, I don't trust my judgement at the end of the day, sadly. Haha, not at this point, anyway. I'm looking into Soundcraft decks...

Great info, thanks a lot Rob. Also thanks for the mic tips in my other thread. I'm likely going to get two SM57's so I can experiment with recording two mic's at once. I've never used a mixer, ever, in my life, and so you guessed it right when you say that it is a historic thing, and I would...

I just purchased a Tascam 22-4. My ideal setup is getting it onto my laptop to the masses. Haha. I need a mixer and an ADC. I can use the Tascam 16x08 as a preamp and an ADC. (unless there are better ADC options out there?) I have about $400-500, mayyybe $600 for a mixer. What mixer do I...

Truly! I hear some guys sometimes testing mics out at Long and Mcquade (our music centre here) so maybe I'll do that, despite how awkward it is singing with a bunch of employees around you. Haha. & geez, thanks everybody for the information. For a newbie, it's really great. I have a nice list...

Thanks for clarifying this for me. I knew the "dry" descriptor was off, haha. I record in the little den I stay in, it's got terrible acoustics but I make it work for my lil hippie folk demos. I think I need to get one of those foamy sound shields. I'll also experiment getting further away from...

Hey, thanks so much for sharing and this info! I just listened to some samples of the 414's and you're right! It sounds...sharp? Like when you turn the sharpness up on a photo. Am I wrong saying that? I listened to some Sony C37 samples and I really dig the warmth and colour in that mic. I'll...

AKG C214 - Cardioid Condenser - Long & McQuade Musical Instruments What about this AKG, guys? The 414 version is twice the $: AKG C414 XLS - 9 Pattern Large Diaphragm Condenser Mic - Long & McQuade Musical Instruments

Sorry, I should have listed source sound! Vocals! I'll look into the AKG 414, Lazer! Thanks a lot. Rruskin, what versions of the AKG 414 are no-no's in your book? Thanks for the list, truly. it really gives me some guidance here. Very tired of my current mic! edit: Looking for something I can...

A recording noobie here. I've been using that $200 Rode NTK mic, and it's nice, but it's very...clear? Like...how do I explain it, very dry? I guess dry is the word? I've researched that these Neuman mics, all our heroes used them, Bob Marley and the rest of the 70's cats. Is there any mic...

Hahahaha, I'm glad you say so. Strange how similar our names are, basically tell the same story. Cheers!

Right? I'm looking at the TEAC 22-4 I'm getting for $450 (+a new reel of tape) and I see here it was $1450 when it first came out -- and that's in 1981!! Sounds like these Tascam preamps are pretty versatile. Righteous. Very excited for my new toy here this Saturday. Thanks for all the help...

Thanks, Rich. Very cool on the old school sound potential. I was thinking of connecting this, or whatever mixer I go with, to the Tascam US 4x4, as someone said they use that as their ADC. YouTube

Someone on my craigslist is selling one for $300, this is it: I'm looking for a mixer for my future Tascam 22-4.

Rich, you're the man, thanks a lot. I'm going to look into the Soundcraft and Allen & Heath mixers, and which one would be best suitable for my deck. With my music, I don't have drums or bass, only acoustic guitar, vocals + vocal overdubs and guitar fills with some light synth. Will an 8...

Dudes, I can't thank you both enough. I'll investigate the US4x4 along with a Soundcraft or Allen & Heath mixer. Cheers! Truly.
