Gavin, Thats True. Metal tapes are not good. I usually try to get the shortest ones I can find. 30 minutes is perfect. Steven

I have to kick my wife down some props too. Thanks a Million Melissa. You ar ethe Best! I Love You. Steven

Gavin, I usually like to keep drums on track one or 4 because tracks 1 and 4 have more bass tone on a 4 track tape recorder. Steven

Ouch..... My ears are still ringing from that acoustic too. Plug in for the concert Bro. In the studio, Mic it! Good luck. Steven

r23, You should be getting some sweet tones (without even playing with EQs) plugging directly into the BR8. What effects are you using through the BR8 with your Guitar. Steven Also, try plugging some good headphones into the BR8 directly to listen. That is your true sound.

RD423, No I am not using the Wave converter. I have been just going from the digital out on the BR8 straight into my sound card. And into Cakewalk as a stereo file. Steven

LMAO. Your right. Way too much caffene yesterday. But seriously..... If there is a better way to run things into Cakewalk I would love to know. I would really be interested in if it is possible to run all 8 tracks seperately into Calewalk. Currently I run all 8 tracks as a Stereo file into...

LMAO. This isnt hostile. Just really confused as to why waste 6 perfectly good tracks? Thats what is confusing to me. I am cool with running it into cakewalk or something like that. Thats how I do it too. Are you telling me there is a way to get ALL 8 traks into Cakewalk Seperately? If thats...

Myex62, Thanks for listening. I agree I need a better rhythm section. I wish I had a real drummer or a real drum set. LOL For now I am just using my drum machine. I try may hardest to make my drums sound real. And most peopel cant tell I use a machine. So, thats a plus. LOL Maybe I will get a...

Joel, You and I do it the same way. I fill up all 8 tracks. get the mix I like. Then run it into Cakewalk. This post was directed to a few people on the "Surround with BR-8" thread. I was gonna let it go. But then I thought I needed to set the record straight about how awesome this machine...

Installing Zip drives on your computer? WHY? Here is an idea. Why not learn how to use the BR8? Why not after learning, use it to its full potential? Why not just buy a 2 track recorder if thats all you know how to use? Get Real, and STOP giving people advice about things you dont know...

Thanks Everybody. To answer your question. YES I record everything with my BR-8. And yes I do use some presets. But I record DRY, then I copy the dry track to another open track and play around with effects. I usually tweak the presets. And I mic my cabinet about 3 inches away. Steven

Stone Piano, Thanks for the great feedback. Springsteen is a big influence on me and my music. I am going to play around with the mix this weekend. I will try fattening up the chorus. Jamal, Thanks for listening too. Steven

Social Noise, Thanks for listening and Welcome to HomeRecording.com. I appreciate what you said about my voice. I am a songwriter before I am anything else. So I am really my worst critic. Sometimes I wish I could sing pretty or play the guitar like I was possesed. I taught myself enough about...

Nero Baby. Hands Down.

I hate to state the obvious. But this sounds very serious to me. I would not try to fix it myself. Do they have a tech support you can call? Good Luck Steven

Track Rat. Thanks for listening. Could you give me any ideas on how I can add some "beef" to the drum tracks? Is it a volume thing or a EQ thing? or something else? Steven

Thanks for the feedback. Any ideas on how I can give the drums more impact?. They are coming through loud and clear on my system here. Thanks for mentioning the vocal level too. I usually have my vocals much more out front. And I always get told by people on this board that vocals could go...

Hey man,. Thanks. Dont be sorry for being honest. I am looking for Honest feedback. I can get the wife to tell me how great I sound whenever I want. I need real feedback. So, if I am doing something wrong, I want to know about it. Thanks for the feedback. Steven
