also, I am planning a few recording sessions and have some ideas for the set up already, but it is always good to hear best practices so that I do not miss anything very obvious.
Thanks once again
Hi,
I am glad you liked the video. Also, I do not want to be like Tommy Emmanuel, mimicking others is always a fake story in the end + even if I could play like him, what is the point? There is already a Tommy Emmanuel, who needs two :-)
All I wanted to say is that I really like the quality of...
two things that come to my mind first: dynamics and clarity. If I was strumming on my porch (if I had one :D) that would be very different in these two factors as a minimum compared to fingerpicking on my porch. You are right, the mic would not care, but most likely would not be able to produce...
recording drums, unless yours is a digital kit, requires as many inputs as possible, 4 simply would not do. You are looking for a minimum 8 channel input device.
Hi,
Would anybody be able to give tips for recording finger picking?
I always assumed that is has to be different from any of the standard acoustic guitar recording techniques due to the fact that no, or very little strumming is involved.
thank you
Hi,
I know I was one of the guys in your other thread who suggested trying your finger in computer based multitrack recording, but this might not be the best choice. Alesis' multimix series, both Firewire and USB based are known for a number of driver related issues, most of them leading up to...
Thank you aaronmcoleman, very nice of you.
I do agree about the guitar, this is something that I hear more in the compressed youtube version than in the uncompressed wav.
Still, there is a reason behind the honkiness, the guitar was recorded only with the built in pickup because of hurry...
Falling slowly in Dublin
This is a my own version of the song 'Falling Slowly' originally by Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova (from the movie Once), here performed by Kasia (Poland), Christof (Germany) and myself.
Recording of the song and the "videoclip" took place in Dublin, March - May...

Reaper: REAPER | Audio Production Without Limits...
I just realised that this might not have been the answer you were looking for. My answer would be to invest in a Zoom solution (I had several different models and were happy with all of them) but go for one that allows integration with the computer and can serve as an audio interface for...
I really favour both hardware and software multitrack solutions, everything depends on the needs of the current project. Still, I would never be able to move back to a hardware (stand-alone) only solution, because of the non-recursive mixing capabilities, not to mention the wonderful world of...
and then you have the question where you want to do the mixing... i imagine this will be reaper so first you will need to create a mixdown at Reason and import that as projects file can never be imported anywhere as is. Just thought would mention to be on the safe side :-)
You should think about USB and firewire solutions as different ways of communication between the computer and the sound card. USB uses more system resources, whereas firewire is usually able to handle more tracks according to many users. Having said that, you should be able track quite a few...
