    Trying to get a clear vocal recording with my Tascam DP24SD

    I am so pleased to have learned - more or less - how to record fairly decently with the Tascam that fixing the song titles is the least of my worries! Tomorrow morning, I return to my current work - which is a lot more worrisome! So much for recording!!

    Trying to get a clear vocal recording with my Tascam DP24SD

    Again....thank you to everyone for your help. I recorded three songs yesterday afternoon, and managed to do the mixdown and mastering this morning - following the expert advice you all provided. The only thing my DP-24SD would not permit me to do is name the songs (I keep getting an error...

    Trying to get a clear vocal recording with my Tascam DP24SD

    Thank you, Mick, and all the wonderful folks who have so kindly helped me today. Progress has been made...........thanks to all of you.

I am also going to experiment with the EQ idea. I am determined...

    That is an excellent point. I do, however, have the logo facing me. After retiring from performing, I have worked as a schoolteacher - and was so impressed with the wireless Sennheiser microphones I used in school to put on some variety shows that I decided to buy the Sennheiser vocal mic to...

    Trying to get a clear vocal recording with my Tascam DP24SD

    Thank you so much for your kind words. I so much appreciate your sound advice. I am only using headphones at the moment to monitor the recordings. I have no home studio as such....just a 102-year-old farmhouse with small rooms, but no different from the exact spot where I was once completely...

    Trying to get a clear vocal recording with my Tascam DP24SD

    Friends, I made my first studio recordings 52 years ago, and also continually recorded at home over the years, with Teac reel-to-reel recorders and Shure microphones – and was very pleased with the sound quality. Decades have passed and I am now an old-timer, long retired from performing in...
