    Poor quality mixdowns - what to do?

    My 8 track is analogue. Thanks for the channel bleed advice. I'll look into this tonight. In the words of Funkadelic 'You Hit The Naaaail Ooooon the Heeeeyd' with the last remark, DALtune. My mixes sound incredibly different in my walkman or on a friend's system, for example. Is there any...

    Poor quality mixdowns - what to do?

    To reply to your replies (thanx BTW!), I'm monitoring using my stereo separates amp and speakers - this is HOME recording we're talking about, after all. I'm not exactly loaded with cash, y'see! Anyways, when I mixdown I AM listening to the stereo's output and not the 8 track itself...

    Poor quality mixdowns - what to do?

    I'm pretty new to this, so be gentle with me! I'm currently recording on a Yamaha 8 track and mixing down onto either my Kenwood MD or tape deck. With both mixdown methods I seem to lose an unacceptable amount of detail, clarity and definition that I can hear on the 8 track master. My drum...

    Aaargh! somebody save my drowning drums!

    I don't know if this is going to make sense without hearing my demos, but, and it's a big but (*oooh*), when I mixdown my drum machine kind of loses its punch. In isolation on the 8 track, the drums can sound really phat. As soon as I start to bring my bass and guitars up to what I think is...

    Yamaha MTX8 wotsallthembuttonsdothen?

    I wonder if anyone can help me out on this one???? I've just become the proud owner of a second-hand manual-less Yamaha MTX8 multitrack. Is there any way I can get a run down on the basics of using the xxxxxxx thing? I think I've sussed out a lot already, but if I could find something on...
