makes total sense. I am still very much in trial and error stage. My misunderstanding was of "muting tracks" which I've not found how to do. Cutting and pasting within the limitations of the grid of the timeline are all I've been able to figure out how to do, so far.

So much to figure out, so many time restraints!
 
I hear you man, time constraints are the enemy of us all, especially with the learning curve we all have to endure with all the incredible new equipment now available. I highly recommend that you set aside a few evenings to just play around with N-track to get a feel for what it can do. Good luck.
 
Gospel, I'm a bass singer with a Southern Gospel quartet. I've recorded in Pro studios for many years and have acted as producer for other artists. Six months ago I got into home recording. Its more of a hobby then anything. I'm currently working on a project with my daughter which is going very well.

You sound just like me except that I sing lead in a SG trio. I have been playing around with the MR-8 for a while now. At one time I thought about doing our trio's next project totally at home, but I think it would take too much time. It might take us a couple of years to finish it. We'll probably just stick with going to studios. Although from learning on the MR-8 and N-track I will definitely have a hand in the mixing process the next time we do go to a pro studio. Is your group fulltime or parttime?

Yes, you could do it in the MR8. But why? You have N-track and it would be a lot easier to do it in the computer where you can see the section you want to mute or keep.
When you render all the parts that you want to keep down to one track it is seamless and will sound like it was done in one take. Cellard, the next time you do a vocal, record it three or four times. Then transfer the wave files to N-track and listen to each track making note of the best parts. Then use the cursor to mute the bad parts and then click the the scissors icon at the top left hand of the task bar. This will silence those parts. Once you have gotten rid of all the bad parts you can then render the good parts down to one track by clicking on the blue CD icon, also at the top left of the screen, and then choose mono track and press start. this will render the good parts to one wave file or track. I hope this makes sense.

I will definitely be getting back with you on how to do this if I can't do it by what I've read here. I knew this was possible in N-track, but thought it might be harder.

My group is part time, travelling in eastern Canada. We are on a break now and its unknown when or if we will get back at it. I didn't realize you sang Southern Gospel. For some reason I thought you did contemporary. I agree, trying to do your own recording, with a group, at home could end up being a challenge. Thanks for the reply.

We are also part time and do approx. 50-60 bookings between March and Oct. I do some contemporary stuff on my own. If you haven't listened to it already you can listen to a song I did on the MR-8. I did the tenor, lead, and baritone on this one. The song is written by Greg Day and was made popular by N'Harmony. Check it out below.

By the way guys, you may or may not know this, but the Event forum is now being used by vocalists to discuss all thing pertinent to singing. We could do with the extra support and input. Go check it out when you have some time. :)

Thats a great song. I'm impressed with your vocal range, which, as you know, is very beneficial in a Southern Gospel group. Actually, I sang along with it and shook my sub woofer. Good song, I really enjoyed it.
