is there a site that will help me learn how to keep records of everything I do when recording? like giving examples of recording sheets, and what exactly to write, and so forth??
 
Actually this would be a good thing for someone to give a link on. I myself do not have an answer for you. But Im sure someone does...
 
If my memory is correct (and given the damage I've done to the grey matter - I have little faith in my memory) - someone did post a link to a site (may have been the Alesis site) which had some track sheets.

Possibly a site from any of the companies that make multi-track machines (Alesis, Tascam, Fostex, Zoom, etc) may have something.
 
I made up a track sheet for use with my old TASCAM 488 MkII. The sheets worked really well.

I still need to go into MS Visio and redo a few things for my new equipment.

I write down everything. All mixer knob settings, fader pushes and pulls at the tape marker que. I don't have automation, so this is a must. Send and return settings, master levels, etc.

All effects and dynamic settings, keyboard patches, level settings,
mic settings, you name it. I want to be able to pull the track sheet in a year and be able to set up a near perfect copy of what I last mixed.
 
I use Samplitude/Cakewalk, because Samp does digital audio the way it should have been done, but has limited MIDI capabilities.

In samplitude, each project has its own project notes file, which can be set to pop up when you open the project. I use a notepad file with blanks for everything imaginable. When I start a new project, I paste this notepad file into the project info file in Samp, set it to pop up when you open the project, and append any unusual info for the particular project to the bottom of the wordpad track sheet. Works great... Steve
