oops screwed up on that 3rd poll option. It should read I like to record somewhere between 16 bit 44.1 Khz and 24 bit 96 Khz

Is 24/96 recording all that important? I've hear that there is debate whether the human ear can even detect the difference between 24/48 and 24/96.

I just picked up a new issue of home recording yesterday. It has a good chart comparing almost all of the (smaller) standalone workstations that are out there. It's worth a read.

yeah, those units are awesome. They're up there in price as well. Unless I sold my mixer I couldn't afford one.

I wanted to record whole bands miked up at once. Full drumset, 1-2 guitars, bass, vox. I suppose I could make do with 8 tracks since I usually overdub vocals anyway. In that case the Yamaha AW16G looks really nice. I just wanted to have 16 to 24 tracks so that in the future I could do more...

So, I've gotten pretty fed up with computers for transportability and reliability issues. I'm looking into a standalone recorder. I have a Mackie 1604VLZ mixer. There are a lot of units out there that are neat but don't quite match what I want. I'm looking for something that can record 16...

Yeah, I was really interested in being able to use some kind of converter and record 16 tracks simulataneously so I'm still going to have to think about this. I currently have an analog mackie mixer. What do IMHO and YMMV stand for?

Record a track of just room noise, with no one there and mix it in. Record with cheap instruments. You can run vocals through a crappy practice amp and record them coming out the amp. There's lots of fun things you can do to make it sound more lo-fi. You can also EQ in too much low end or...

and the favorite thread of the day is..........i eat cat poop?

thanks for the info. I didn't know that the fostex doesn't have the low end range.

dog feces taste less fishy

I'm looking to buy a standalone multitracker in the price range of Fostex VF16 or Yamaha AW16G. Anybody have prefer one over the other? What features do you prefer?

Thanks for the advice. I'll have to see if I can swing the price of the more expensive multitrackers. I'm looking into a multitracker because I'm really tired of carrying my entire computer and mixer around to record and then have it crash or have some weird software glitch while I'm...

I'm looking at getting a standalone multitracker. All of them seem to only have one or 2 XLR inputs and all the rest are TRS. Many of them can handle recording eight tracks simultaneously. What is the best way to put 8 mikes into a unit like this. I have 16 channel mackie mixer and could...

This may have been already said but you might want to think about some of the firewire interfaces that are out there. I use a firewire PC card and a MOTU 828 interface. THe best thing about this is I can use it with both my laptop when I'm going places and my desktop at home. This gives me 8...

If anybody has a manual for a Marantz CDR615, I would love to get a copy or photcopy of it. I seem to have lost it in my move to my new apartment. I would gladly pay for mailing cost if someone has one. Please e-mail me at JamieJ@dartmouth.edu if anybody has one. Thanks, Jamie

Linkin park and the x-ecutioners use this stuttering effect on some of the syllables of the rappers voice. If you know what I'm talking about maybe you know how it's done. It might be a turntable thing but I'm sure you could do it digitally. Anybody have any ideas? I'll try to get a clip of...

Do a search for binaural recording on the web. Search for somebody like gordon hempton you'll be able to find some great recording techniques.

whole milk is evil for singers

Does Sonar have a way to reverse your audio track or sample? I couldn't find it when I was working last night. I suppose I should get out the manual.
