I guess I’ll start here since I drop in so infrequently.
I’ve been around at least since the previous incarnation of this forum. I got involved in the 00s as I was getting my feet wet with recording. I recall discussing (and quickly burning through) a number of all in one recorders.
My particular focus in home recording is a bit unusual, I think. I capture directly to 2-track the live performance in the studio.
My inspiration for this goes back to the early 00s when I read Neil Young‘s biography, “Shakey”, and learned that he is a fan of capturing the energy of an in-studio performance rather than doing multi tracking. That led me to investigate how recording was done with minimal equipment starting in the 1930s and continuing up until the advent of multi tracking. Shortly after that research, I discovered The Mermen and was fascinated to read on the cover art of one of their CDs that the entire CD was recorded directly to 2-track. I was lucky enough to have a conversation with Jim Thomas, their guitarist, and learned how that particular CD was made.
Roughly 20 years later, here I am again. I posted links to my projects both past and ongoing in the appropriate thread.
Finally, I’ve attached a PDF sketch of the devices and connections in my current studio for my current project. More of a teaser than a description… The real meat, which I’ll try to describe later in an appropriate thread, is how everything gets set up so that we can just push record, play for an hour, and have a track ready to publish a half hour after the session ends.
