Hey,
So I've recorded a song on the Fostex A2, I picked up on ebay and I gotta say it sounds pretty good (considering I was just experimenting with the deck and paid no attention to mic placement or performance). A couple of quick questions:
I'm coming out of a preamp (and not a mixer) into the recorder. What should I do with the input levels on the recorder? Should I put them at 12 o'clock? Turn the up (or down)? Where should I try to be metering on the recorder? I'm recording voice and guitar...live, no overdubs. Thanks.
Oh, and when I make a digital copy of my recording to make a CD, I'm guessing I press the "repro" buttons on the recorder and just hit play. Am I right? I noticed that when I made a digital copy with the tape-recorder's input buttons pressed in, I gotta kinda a 50'sish echoey effect. Kinda cool. Kinda slap-backy. What's that about?
THANKS
