Tempo Shift? In answer to a previous post about electronic drums sounding fake because they are so perfect in tempo; YES! I have slightly adjusted the BPM. (Beats per minute) during a song. Often right after a fill going into the chorus or bridge of a song, a "real" drummer will speed up...

Best of both.... I usually program a Kick and a snare part (a simple groove) sometimes I'll program a shaker or hi hat part on a separate track to be erased and covered with a real part. I play all cymbals live, they really make the drum part fluid. You just can't program all the subtle...

Ok here's my 2 cents (Pun intended) JUST DO IT! I bought a used piano for 75 bucks.... pretty badly out of tune but I play pedal steel guitar ( 10 strings, 3 pedals and four knee levers) and I had learned about "tempered tuning" and compromize. 1st thing is get the proper tool, its a wooden...

d2424 I am considering buying a Fostex D2424 and I also would like to know if anyone else has one ....? What is good about it? What is not good? This site is a great place to find information about equipment, Thanks Dom Franco:)

Yes the Fostex has swapable drives and IDE compatable, I don't know the answers to your other very good questions! Dom:)

Preproduction 1.Have the singer and rhytym guitar or keyboard player come early or the day before. 2. Program a simple groove on a drum machine (KICK, SNARE, HI HAT) be careful to set the proper tempo 3. Be sure to record enough time for intro, solos and ending etc. 4. lay down a scratch...

I have always been loyal to Alesis, Since the days of the microverb, MMT8 and on to Adats and all. But I have been considering the Fostex 2424 as an alternative to the Alesis HD 24, for these reasons: 1. It's a little less expensive, about $100.00 2. It has a detachable front panel with all...

simple racks are my specialty Over the years I have made many racks, and I keep having to modify, cut them down in size, add too etc.... Some nicely painted or stained 1" pine 12" wide is really all you need. you can get fancy and fit the wood together with dowels or just screws or bolts...

Cheap Light Trick I made a "recording" light system. :D Being a pack rat and electronics nut, I always have a lot of junk laying around! I used an old wallwart 12 Volt DC power transformer some speaker wire and two 12 Volt automotive clearance lights. (Boy are they BRIGHT!) Any 12 volt lamp...

Christmas is not too far away! I recorded a cover of a Christmas Song called: "Mary Did You Know?" I have 12 songs currently in the works for my annual Christmas project. I close miked my Fender Jumbo and ran a direct out of the fishman pickup to another track. The guitar just sounds...

Get' em while they're young.... I started doing some volunteer remote recording at my son's high school. (Orchestra, choir, Christmas programs etc) Before I knew it word got around and I was doing some recording for a band from another High School in the area. This turned into a fairly...

For My money... For my money I'd start out with one or two "really Good" Microphones and get one of the many inexpensive digital 4tracks BOSS, KORG, ZOOM and TASCAM make some really nice recorders for under $400.00 They are portable...unlike a computer They are reliable... " " They have...

Double or nothin! :p I have always used double rhythm guitar parts, and experimented with effects, tone changes and even capo-ing one guitar and playing in a different key to match the original guitar. I love the way it sounds!~... In my oppinion you need at least one instrument stereo panned...

NEWBIE TRANSLATION Plug stuff into the -15db channel, if you can't get it loud enough then use the 0db input! nuff said... Dom:rolleyes:

Thanks Henry That's great information! I had that same problem and thought the unit was defective! It would record alone but not synced up! I switched the master/slave setting and now it works. It must not like it when there is nothing recorded on the 2nd unit! Any other information you have...

I love the drop ceiling method. I only used up about 6 inches of space in the control room and dropped the ceiling. It has been a great advantage to be able to run phone lines, lighting, speaker cables and other signal wiring through. The studio gets messy quickly enough, so any wires you can...

How many Springs do you have? Most new Strats are set up with only 3 springs on the Vibrato mechanism. All Strat type guitars have places for up to 5 springs. Open up the back plate and check how many springs you have. Most music stores will have abunch of these extra springs laying around in...

Good Thread! I have been doing this to get the vocals to sit in the mix, but now I can't wait to try some of the other instruments as mentioned. Dom Franco:cool:

I have had my Dmt8vl for years, and it has served me well. No glitches, great sound. I upgraded to a 2.5 gig HD for a full hour worth of recording time on 8 tracks. I recently decided to purchase another Dmt8vl from e-bay and link the two together as master and slave. The manual says that this...

Tracks are cool! I use track lighting in most of my studio. Tracks are cool, because you can direct the individual cans to where they are most needed... (Music Stand, Mixer, Keyboard etc) Then the lighting is directional and really makes the room cool and classy. I have several banks of...
