    Getting Used to New Monitors

    Anyone else here have a heck of a time getting used to new monitors when changing brands, models, upgrades. etc. I bought a pair of Yamaha HS8's an upgrade from my Alesis Model 1 MKII active's and I am having a heck of a time getting a good mix with them. I understand neither of these are...

    Tascam US 16x08 interface

    I guess I should be sure it's okay to run this thing with no load/speakers hooked up. Should be, anyone here know for sure.

    Tascam US 16x08 interface

    I've got a vintage Harmon Kardon HK505 integrated amp I almost gave away in really good shape that would probably make a great headphone amp, especially for just myself, Just need a line out to one of the amp line in's and I'm good to go. It even has a tone defeat button. Looks like this.Harman...

    Tascam US 16x08 interface

    Tascam US 16x08 interface

    Great info thanks, And I have been thinking of alternative ways to get around the foot switch thing, like using separate tracks for additional takes. . I think I'm getting close to making the jump to all DAW, recording and mixing. I think there will be a learning curve[ hopefully not too steep ]...

    Tascam US 16x08 interface

    The foot switch really has me spoiled as I pretty much just record myself. The in and out for a switch is pretty clean, I split phrases or verses all the time if I don't like the way I sing something. I've even punched in a specific word several times to get it just the way I want it. Same for...

    Tascam US 16x08 interface

    Bump since no replies, Any Users? opinions? I'm concerned with latency as I usually record a track at a time , 8 if it's my drum kit but still one player. I get how you monitor from the interface when recording live but at that time do the prior recorded tracks get played back through the same...

    2488 recording issue.

    Yes, but what I don't understand is why what I hear in the Sennheisers when recording is not what I hear in the Sennheisers on play back. There should not be a noticeable difference when monitoring during recording and playback unless you have a separate headphone mix which I do not. No matter...

    2488 recording issue.

    Never had this happen before, cannot figure it out. I am recording vocals with an AKG C3000B mic, AKG K240M Headphones, Have cut some good vocal tracks with this, what I hear in the phones pretty much is what gets recorded. I was getting a little bleeding from the semi-open phones so I bought a...

    Good Vocal mic

    It keeps getting weirder. I decided to try my new Sennheiser HD280 pro headphones for sport and I find when I have them on I hear a rich deep bassy sound in the phones but what gets recorded is thin and tinny on playback. I go through my system completely which for tracking is my Tascam 2488 and...

    Waves Tune with Reaper

    Got Reaper, have played with it for about a month and it is going well , Got Waves Tune working, I'm not sure it does as good a job as Antares when playing pack on the fly but the way it scans and allows you to fix bad notes with the curser tools is pretty cool. I imagine Antares does that too I...

    Tascam US 16x08 interface

    Looking at buying the Tascam 16x08 USB interface for my new set up to use with Reaper. Anyone use this, are their latency issues etc. Any better suggestions in the same price range?

    Good Vocal mic

    Another thing I just thought of{though it should not make any difference,} When I cut the song that turned out really great I was using an external phantom power supply for the C3000B, on this song I used the on board phantom power supplied by the Tascam. Thoughts.

    Good Vocal mic

    Funny thing is I cut another vocal, different song, with exact same set up and the results were great. While the Tascam I'm sure is not packed with what would be considered "High End" pre's or converters they have gotten good reviews for what they are. Not sure they are any worse and maybe...

    Good Vocal mic

    Narrowing it down I think to the Rode NT1 [ Not 1A] Miktek 300, Se 2200a II C, Looking for a warm tone, clean highs that don't accentuate sibilance. My research seems to be showing that sibilance is a common problem in the low end large diaphragm condenser mics.

    Liability (lorde) I Attempted to recreate the vocal mix for my cover

    Yes I get lost as many of us do so that is not unusual. I listened to your youtube recording. I really like your voice and I'm sure many others will as well. If your recording sounds like that on everything you play it on I think you deserve better. it's overall very dark, 'm hearing good things...

    Good Vocal mic

    It sounds like frequency saturation without clipping. Probably was pushing way too much air into the s's. some may have even made it to the track. [ not pretty ] even when you calm the frequencies down my articulation was terrible. I was tired and just not thinking. I think I am going to have to...

    Good Vocal mic

    Wow the MK300 Sure has some great reviews. Every once and awhile when a manufacturer uses high quality parts and outsources the labor you can get a great value. Sounds like this may be one of those circumstances. I've run into this a couple of times with guitar builds where American parts were...
