Advice On Bouncing Tracks Currently, I am not using any software program to mix the tracks recorded with the Fostex. I try to bounce and mix everything using that little red machine. As a general rule of thumb, do you add effects, mastering and etc...when you bounce the tracks to 5/6? Or, do...

Hey Clif, good job dude! That's a nice tune. You certainly got the 70s feel down pat. I also enjoyed your guitar work. Very cool sound. What did you use for the synth sound? What kind of keyboard do you have? I'm very impressed. Keep the tunes coming!!! Looking forward to hearing...

Hey Jimmy, Congrats on your first tune. Like Kramer had indicated, go to nowhereradio.com and sign up. Once you've signed up, then just upload your tune and give us your link. I would love to hear your song. KF

Hey Gospel, I'm using an old JVC stereo system (my parents bought it in the early 80's!) to monitor. So, it's nothing fancy, but it does its job....for now. I think that once my ears become more mature, I'll probably find that my whole setup needs to be revamped. But until that time and...

Thanks for the constructive comments. It's hard to fool the ears with "fake" instruments. If only I could play guitar..... I did have problems with the overall volume. The microphone used is a cheap dynamic mic plugged directly into the Fostex MR8. The mic line was set to max. Since the...

Thank You Thank you for all the nice comments. It's good to be in a supportive group like we have here in the Fostex forum. The "big boys" over at the Mixing Clinic is not even looking my way. I guess silence says something. Being my own worse critic, after listening to the song again this...

Here's a song I recorded on the MR-8. It's called Lost On The River by Hank Williams SR. Any comments are welcomed. KF http://www.nowhereradio.com/knopflerfan/singles

My very first posting of music on the internet for all to hear. Please be gentle. :p The song is called Lost On The River by Hank Williams SR. Please give me your comments. BTW, a big thumbs up to SLuiCE for that wicked song-- puts mine to shame that's for sure! KF...

Thanks for the reply Chess, my budget is actually under $200CDN (approx. $150US). Given that scenario, my options are rather limited. In any case, I still cannot decide whether I should go with the Shure 58's or the Audio-Technica ATM41HE or the AKG D880. BTW, I'm currently using the Fostex...

My vocal style is that of Mark Knopfler's. I'm currently using a Sherman (which apparently nobody has heard of). I went into the local music store and asked for a SM58 and the salesman suggested the following instead: Audio-Technica ATM41HE AKG D880 Knopfler has a deep voice and his vocal...

What exactly is a compressor and why is it important for better sound quality? KF

Can someone please shed some light for this newbie on the differences (sound wise) between the 3 major types of mics-- dynamic, condenser, and tube. Thanks, KF

Can someone please tell me whether there is pre-amp in the MR-8? Also, I know that the MR-8 does not have phantom power, does that mean that if I were to buy a tube mic or a condenser mic, I would have to buy phantom power as well? KF

Is there a sticky where common acroymns are posted for us newbies to refer to? For example, what's DAW DI :confused: Thanks KF

Hey BigSnake, I bought the Verbatim flash card reader. KF

Thanks for the links gentlemen. I'll try them out. KF

Hey BigSnake, I also have WIN 98. I bought my flash card reader at Business Depot here in Canada for $40CDN. It's very easy to use and works very well. KF

Any opinions on the APEX450 (a large diaphram condenser tube mic-- whatever that means?!) Also, do I need a pre-amp for this mic? I'm using the Fostex MR8 as my recording gear and I believe it doesn't have phantom power. Thanks in advance. KF

Free Trial Software? Are there any free trial software that I can check out? Clubtracks? ntracks?....... KF

Well, it looks like my original thread digressed somewhat. In any case, I think the consenus is that there are better options than the JM47. How's the APEX450? By the way, if I were to purchase any JoeMeek products, my home studio would look quite colorful-- red and green. I have a Fostex...
