Great idea. I believe Blondie use them as Debbie Harry has bad tinnitus.

I'd have to take issue with that. A band can only be as quiet as it's loudest element. As I said before, you can't turn the drummer down and neither can you play punk rock with brushes :eek:

I think the POD XT / x3 is probably the daddy if you want amp modelling as well and you have the advatnge of being able to buy additional model packs. Personally, I still think they sound a little bit digital but I guess that is the trade off for having them all in one convienent box. I've still...

Nice one I will give them ago after which maybe I'll start writing the definitive guide to earplugs :)

If only I could turn the drummer down ;)

I've tried half a dozen types from the cheapo foam disposable plugs to those expensive (ish) rubber things drummers use to hold their brains in :D The problem I have is my ears are quite small and so I find the ones that give the best attenuation whilst preserving the sound rather uncomfortable...

What sort if music do you play and most importantly what sound (s) are you looking for?

When I got my first cassette 4 track it was simply to get help me get my ideas across to other people. However, over the years my expectations of what I can achieve have increased exponentially with increasing knowledge and experience. I can see the progress I have made from those early days and...

I used to be a Marshall man through and through until I tried Tech 21. Their Trademark 60 is fab and I probably wouldn't swap it for anything else

Not used this method for many a year but I used to hang a vocal mic a few feet above the snare. Just don't expect miracles with a single vocal mic!

As a rule of thumb I like to have the main parts well rehearsed before even attempting a take however as I've become a more accomplished guitar player I've also gotten lazier!

Once, after several fruitless hours of recording, the drummer turned to me and said quite seriously "so I'm supposed to play along WITH the click then". I kid you not! :eek: I agree with RAMI that having the click loud is very important. In fact I've found that this applies to most...

I had keyboard lessons for 4 years before teaching myself guitar and I studied Electronic Engineering at Uni. I have a friend who took a course at the School Of Sound Recording (Manchester) and another who has a degree in Technical Theatre Arts (or something like that). I would consider both of...

Nice sounds there fellow 2488 user! Here's some pics of my "spare" bedroom studio I posted a few months back. Actually, I have sold virtually all the equipment in the rack since then (except the mpx110) and added some new toys. There's no acoustic treatment as such but despite this the sound...

I downloaded it but have never tried it as I don't have a MIDI port on my laptop. To be honest I've no use for mix automation. A basic MIDI sequencer would be more useful.

One of the reasons I prefer the digital portastudio format is because it is so intuitive that I don't have to think to much about what I'm doing and can concentrate on being creative.

Always nice to welcome a new member to the 2488 club. I was wandering how many of us there are and what level of sonic perfection people achieve / expect to achieve with this machine? The reason I ask is because almost everyone I know uses a PC and I am regularly chastised for not joining the...

SCSI was also used in PCs, especially servers. They tended to have faster sustained data rates than older IDE (PATA) drives which is good for multi-track recording. I think SATA drives have long since rendered them obsolete but last time I checked you could still get them.

Yep, I saw it on another european site that it is CF cards

UPDATE: Just found some pics on the Japanese TEAC site http://www.teac.co.jp/news/news2007/20071101-02.html
