it sounds more like he wants to know how to punch in. just stop the recording where you want and start again where you left off when you return. its even easier with digital software because you can edit out any bumpy starts(or false starts) you do.

its probably just a 30 cycle hum.

A pencil mic at about 2 feet away might be what you'd want to try. I mean hell its almost memorial day and gc's bound to be having a sale.

Make sure its a recently published book because the technology and techniques are constantly changing. I bought and read the musicians home recording handbook. It was a good read but not very relevant. I think it was published in 92'.

m-audio has some good products but not really worth the price. they can be a real pain just to setup as well. I personally would stay away from any kind of bundle because they aren't giving you what you need necessarily, but what they think you need. Protools is cool but way too overrated and...

As far as i've owned mine I also can say no major issues. I bought it about a year ago when they were 150$ on clearance.

It sounds good but the mix feels really distant. Consider bringing the guitar to the front a bit more. have you considered recording during a full moon in the woods or in a uni-bomber style shack? I know thats a bit black metal but more ambiance wouldn't hurt either.

Yes I will "chine" in hear and say that the tascam interfaces do work with reaper and quite well for the price. Listen to rami he speaks the truth and I think reaper is only 40$ but I never bothered to pay for it. Yes its practically free.

cad cm217. 50$ each at gc and they sound great for cheap sdc's.

I've had my us-800 and never had this happen before. The worst thing I can say about it is that it may take restarting the computer once or twice to get it recognized. I've had great results with this interface and really no hiccups to speak of. For the price and number of channels I think its...

Ok so I'd like to get some pedals for my bass rig. Nothing too pro just fun bass pedals that you enjoy. Any recommendations?

Just because you don't like mixing in headphones doesn't mean you can't at least use them to get a rough mix. What about these people who set up their monitors in surround sound with subs and wonder what went wrong when they play it in their car. You have to give more specific alternatives to...

Just outside the cone in one of the bottom corners is my favorite place to stick it with the mic cocked at a slight angle downward. The only place to put a mic though is where it sounds best regardless of what you heard from other people. You'll need to do a little bit of trial and error to find...

Does anyone have suggestions on other 6+ channel interfaces that they like or would recommend?

I've always told people that it was a good buy and now thanx to jimmy we got more proof to back it up. I only paid 150$ for it and I think its only draw back is if you needed more channels. Also it runs very smoothly with reaper.

Plug your guitar into your d/i box then plug that into your interface and that should give you a VERY raw guitar track to work with.

This really seems like a meaningless thread. I am the Carl's Junior Hamburger God, have a Ph.D. in Astrogation from M.I.T., and have built your own nuclear fusion powered interstellar spaceship from neodymium magnets, toothpicks, and chocolate covered ants. Not bragging though!

wouldn't it be easiest to just turn the drum faders down? I mean when I hear drums at the back of the mix they are usually quieter and not balls out in your face. I agree with greg on this one, and everyone is giving complicated answers to a simple question.

to be blunt its just not very user friendly.
