    Anyone done a DIY Leslie cab?

    I'm interested in building a Fender Vibratone-style rotating speaker cabinet (same as Leslie 16/18). Basically, it is a single speaker with no crossover, etc, and the drum rotates on the vertical plane instead of horizontal. Any ideas?

    Why not mix an album in mono?

    Lots of "classic" 60s albums were mixed in mono...Pet Sounds, Sgt. Pepper, Kinks Village Green, etc...everyone seems to want that sound, why not mix it like they intended back in the day?

    Using computer as effects box?

    I think this is how I'm going to record my next album. I have a Tascam 388 8-track reel to reel/mixer, a Delta 1010, a bunch of plugs and no outboard except an RNC. Instead of tracking to tape, then dumping into digital for editing/mixing, I'm considering tracking/bouncing/mixing all analog and...

    Recording amp question

    Well, I'm in the market for a cheap, Fendery amp that can be used for guitar and occasional bass. I want to keep it low-wattage so I can crank it without waking the neighbors. Anyway, between a Fender Vibrochamp with 8" speaker and a Silvertone 1483/1484 with 10" or 12" speakers which would you...

    Guerilla piano recording

    I want to get some "free piano recording time" in my uni's practice rooms. They are small and sound crappy but I figure I can get something decent. I need suggestions on a portable 2+ track recorder with pre's that would work in this situation. Sound quality isn't a big deal; I think a 57 will...

    should I upgrade from a 388?

    Right now I'm using a Tascam 388 to record and I'm very pleased with the results. I'm mixing in the box, btw. I'm planning on buying a Sytek pre and maybe a small mixer. My question is, should I ditch the 388 and get a 1/2" or 1" 8 track? The mixer/monitor section is pretty crappy and I don't...

    Creedence vocals

    I am a big fan of Creedence Clearwater Revival and, of course, John Fogerty's voice and style. Any tips (vocal or recording) on getting that crazy raspy sound?

    Should I be recording in 24/96?

    I've got a Delta 1010 and I've never bothered to change the settings from 16/44. Just wondering if, since I can, should I be using the card to its full potential at 24/96?

    Tascam 388 crackles

    Hi there, I just came into possession of a Tascam 388 with under 40hrs of use. However, there is some nasty crackling, fizzing noise coming from the stereo bus. I can hear it through headphones and the monitor outs which are connected to my speakers. It sounds like an old amp that needs a cap...

    Confused

    I'm facing a dilema. I want to get into analog/tape/outboard mixing stuff. But, I'm a one-man band and I don't know if 8-tracks would be enough for what I want to do. Currently, I've got an AH Mixwiz that is made for 8-track recording...and a Delta 44. I know a guy that is selling a nice Tascam...

    Help me mix in mono!

    I've never mixed in mono before. Is it as simple as panning everything to the center (using Nuendo) or do I need to just use one speaker or what? Any help, especially from old farts, is appreciated! :D

    Recording piano in garage from bedroom?

    Hi y'all, I'm looking to get a "free" piano locally. However, it would be impossible to get it up in my studio (bedroom) and I might be moving soon, so I thought I would just stick it out in the garage or something since it won't be a valuable instrument. I was wondering if it would be possible...
