'how can you have a digital article'? a handwritten one would be analogue. :)

i agree, get a nice amp and a decent mic. sm58/57 is a good inexpensive choice that you can also use for vocals and drums and whatever else you can think of. i have recently taken to both miking and DI-ing (from the amp) and either using both or choosing the best and deleting the other. i...

yes you need a mixer with 16 ins and 16 outs, then you can record and playback without any wire swapping. you will need 2 wiring looms with 16 phono to 16 jacks also. good luck with the fostex, i am suprised you forked out for one without knowing how to plug one in. go over to analogue only...

someone posted this link on another topic. it might answer this question, it may not but it is an interesting read. http://emusician.com/tutorials/emusi...ectric_guitar/

cool thamks man.

ok, sorry for the delay. hope we can pick up. the tape is rubbing on the edge of the spool as it unwinds. (rubbing on the side nearest to me, i think thats track one rubbing? i dont know which way the tracks go) and it is rubbing on the 1st tension arm guide, again at the nearest point to the...

ok i am off to the studio with a camera, and a bunch of tools and cleaning equipment. i will try and get them up today or tomorrow. thanks for all the info, i will post later. cheers.

yep i didnt think it was sticky shed, but it is excessive shed. it was set up and calibrated by a guy that knows what hes doing and i trust him, although it could have been knocked out of alignment in transit. i suspect the first guide actually, but i will check tomorrow. the tape is brand new...

hi, i am pretty new to recording with tape. i have done a couple of projects on my e-16. ok so i guess when the tape runs it always makes some 'dust' but how much is it supposed to make? the problem i am having is the outer tracks 1-2 and 15-16 seem to be affected by this (maybe some scraping)...

i just recorded a friend of mines e.p. i micked up his guitar but i also saw he had a nice (wooden) pick up on his guitar, so i thought i may as well record though both and mute the pick up later :) and it acually sounded good. i ended up hard panning the signals and it sounded like two...

yep youv'e got it already. what you hear as an awesome full sound is probably effected by the other instruments in the mix. if you heard the guitars soloed it would sound much weaker. you get a bigger overall sound if you find the right frequencies in the mix in between the bass and the drums...

yes it is supposed to. the little arm clicks in when pressed so that if you don't want the tape lifted then it isn't.

a compressor over the whole of the drums is not a silly idea at all it is used all the time. it can really boost the kit and you can get some good effects going too. i am not sure what you mean with the sends? maybe send the kit from your pc through a compressor and record back in? yep it would...

phil elverum, uses 8 track 1/2" i think. so the microphones and mount eerie stuff. also thanksgiving.

stick a mic on it. or hit it harder.

will anyone want to hear that? on the radio?

mastering is a must, if its going to be played next to other albums, say on radio or something, then you want the volume and eq to be similar to others. comparing your final mix with albums in a similar style is helpful.

cool, i will try that when i come across a speaker that isn't being used. i have used headphones as a mic before but never thought of a speaker. cheers.

double tracking and triple tracking should work, it works alot better if you do it for real rather than offsetting and pitchshifting a duplicate, in my opinion anyway.

can i just jump i here and try and save this thread before someone shouts 'FIGHT', i was actually looking for some mastering advice. i have just recorded a friend of mine onto 1/2 tape, he makes very delicate folk music. it sounds great on tape and even when i transfered it to cubase to master...
