New Members: Introduce Yourself Here!

[PoSuM]

Just found this forum. Seems like a real blessing. Acoustic, sometimes electronic drummer. Currently, edrums the only option. Far from being a tech nerd, screens tend to glaze my eyes over. Put me in a wood shop, I'm good. Tech? Drop down boxes, a thousand options... not so much. A new recording project facing me. My trusty acoustics and ZOOM H8 recorder replaced by a coming DAW and probably a VST drum plug-in and learning curves that will probably add the last ten years to my life. But, we press on >>>

Hi,

I believe your H8 can be used as an interface. What DAW do you fancy getting?

Kind regards

Pete

There is an audience. I feel like a lot of folks doesn't realize that there is a massive revival of "musicians' music" in Gen Z. I wanna hear some! Post it somewhere!

Thanks for the welcome. I've had this little page on my website for about 20 years... ArtieJ's Music Page
Write, program, play and record all the parts. So there's no one else to blame.

I'll also modestly mention a couple of my favorites I had a lot of fun doing, The Maaze and HOPSCOTCH!

I have a friend who mixed and mastered some previous recordings of mine, all drums and percussion recorded on the H8. He uses MTS and he can guide me through any dark tunnels I encounter with it. Unless I can find a module that works correctly with my TrapKAT and I'll just go right into the H8, send the guys the files and they can go from there with their DAWs (Protools).

Wow! There's some good stuff there, ArtieJ.

What's a pronoun?
You gotta realise what you're dealing with here.
Welcome Sarge!

In this post, the pronoun is "you" ?

Bro this stuff is AWESOME!

Who would you list as your inspirations?

 

[ArtieJ]

Growing up it was Chicago, Yes, fusion stuff like Return to Forever, Weather Report, etc.
Later on in the 80's, Tribal Tech with Scott Henderson, Eric Johnson.

Great list. Went to see both Wayne Shorter (playing with Carlos Santana) in the 80s and Miles Davis in Antibes in the 80s. Saw Herbie Hancock playing with Shorter in Dublin in the 90s as well. Would absolutely have loved to have seen Chicago, back in their day. Also, would have given a finger off my right hand to have seen Jaco playing.

Hello everyone, thanks for having me. I'm an incarcerated rapper who has come here (via 3rd party) to acquire information about techniques and experiences recording tracks over a phone connection. Thanks again.

Hello, everyone! ? I’m a 73-year old semi-retired architect from South Louisiana who has also been a soul and rock brass musician since the age of 15. I am still performing, with a 15-member group with a 6-man brass section. I have been a recording enthusiast since my early 2O’s and have 4 RTR recorders, including Tascam 42 and 42B 2-tracks, a Tascam 44 4-track, and a Teac 6300 bi-directional 4-track. As I recently purchased a Tascam hybrid mixer to record in either analog or digital, I’m trying to part with my Tascam 44 and Tascam 2600 32-channel recording console.

Thank you so very much for accepting me into your forum! ?

Welcome Murph321. Looks like the only way is up.

Welcome 5109Eagle. Good to have your experience here.

Hi Miguel here, I’m interested in learning to fix and maintain vintage cassette decks, 4 tracks, and reel to reels. I also write and produce music as a hobby. I enjoy buying old audio equipment fixing them up and releasing them back into the wild.

Hi Miguel,
Welcome to HR.
I love seeing old gear restored and maintained and, ideally, used. Plenty of other people here do too so welcome on in.

[Nick Ryder]

Hi, everyone.

This is my very first post here

My name is Nick and I have a little home studio in the UK.

I'm a prolific writer, and fortunately I can play most instruments, so I do record a lot.

The reason I joined here is because I cannot mix, so I am looking to learn as much as I can so that one day I can mix for myself.

I'm also looking for others who love mixing may want to use my tracks to practice one.

For anyone interested, here's a link to one of my albums on Spotify so you have an idea of what I do -

All the best and I look forward to getting to know a few of you

Hi Nick,
Welcome to HR.

Do you already record the raw tracks yourself or have you been going to studios for that so far?
Your work on Spotify sounds great. Hearing lots of Beatles and ELO influence there.

Either way you're in the right place.
That's great to hear that you're willing to share your tracks for others to mix. We have a forum area dedicated to that
as well as an area for critique of WIP mixes and plenty of other discussion areas.
Make yourself at home.

Hi, @Steenamaroo

Thanks so much for getting back to me and making me feel welcome already.

Yes, I record everything in my home studio apart from real drums which my fried records for me at his studio.

This forum sounds amazing and one I wish I'd known about a coupe of years ago
