That sounds like a great suggestion I understand what you mean on how to hook things up that should be the easy part, experimenting with the shareware the fun part, hoping it all works the head scratching part...I went to the site you suggested after your last reply and was very impressed Thanks...
I'm recording a two man operation for my own enjoyment more than anything so demo quality would be more like it. although I'm always in search of the best recording possible.
I"m recording a bass track rythm guitar, lead guitar, vocals, back vocals, drums (drum machine) sometimes harmonica and...
THanks for the help you guys appreciate it, I have all the outboard gear as far as mics and things go, I use the on board mixer in my tascam 488 analog eight track right now. I imagine I could use the line out on that in the mean time if not please let me know I"ve been known to imagine all...
Thanks for the advice on the ram that's easy enough I don't have a mixer (I assume you mean a digital mixer) and yes I will want a cd burner any suggestions in that area?
I would only want to multi track four tracks at the most simultainiously, and I could even get away with just two if...
I"ve been an analog person for what seems like forever the digital world sounds great and I've been considering going in that direction but don't have a clue about what to buy or how to use what I buy.
Looking for suggestions my computer is a hp 15 gig hard drive 633 mhz with 64 mb
I would like...
I do all of my recording analog with a tascam eight track is it worth it to me to mix the masters to a cd burner provided I had good sound card (if so any suggestions on sound cards?)
In other words do I gain any better sound quality by mixing the master to my computer?
Ok, sorry about that let me try again...(actually after I read it I can see what you mean)
I usually record the rhythm section (bass, guitar, and drums) on my 488 tascam.
I then mix the above down to two tracks.
Then I add lead instruments and vocals.
During the mixdown of the rythym...
I did a lot of experimenting with all the suggestions you guys gave me I ended up moving the cabinets to the center of the room not sure how much that helped but it defineitly didn't hurt then I miked the ten inch speaker instead of the 15 which made a big difference and I also used the direct...
I usually record the rhythm section (bass guitar drums) on my 488 tascam then mix down to two tracks then add lead and vocals during the mixdown I use compression and eq'ing should I compress the tracks when initially recorded and not when mixing down or use no compression when initially...
great suggestions guys I have my neck pick up higher now so that is definitely one thing I can try and I have not tried just miking the tens either great guys I let you know the results
I've got it pretty close I could try that I'm using a I'm using a electro voice pl5 for a mic I'm sure that could use some improvement also
I have a 488 by the way thanks for the suggestions guys
I was wondering should I forget the miking at all and just use direct and should I just use one...
I used to be in a situation like that and found just setting up four mikes in the room works good depending on what kind of room you have you'll have to experiment with the mic positions
I record tracks to an 8 track tascam (analog) I'm still trying to get that killer bass sound I get a great tone out of my rig which is a steinberger bass swr head two galien gruger cabinets (one 15 and four tens) my swr has a direct out and my bass has active electronics I've tried many...
Thanks for the info yes I'm looking to record audio tracks more ram sounds like a good idea easy enough too, I will do so more reading,how many tracks do you guys usually work with (recording one at a time)
I've never done any computer recording although I've done plenty of analog and have some basic questions:
I've picked up a Hewlett Packard pc and have been thinking about recording with it (633mhz 64mb 15.0gb) it appears to have the capacity from what I've read what sound card and software do...
