Hi, i have recorded songs on my tascam 424 and i am wondering what to do for preserving a stereo mix. I am going from the line out on the 424 directly through my audio interface to daw. The way i have recorded most songs is
track 1 drums
Track 2 bass
Track 3 left guitar
Track 4 right guitar (both hard panned L & R)
My question is when i am mixing in my daw i am bouncing down in stereo. Should i hard pan both tracks in ableton also or leave them at 12 oclock. Or should i pan each track somewhere in between? I know that mixing is subjective though i was wondering what some techniques other people use when doing this. Some songs sound fine in mono. Though if i was going to add vocals i worry there will not be enough room in the mix. Any info is much appreciated.
Yes i know recording digitally is bEtTeR. I personally like using tape. My main goal with this is to stereo bounce back to tracks one and two and record two more tracks for my master copy.
Sorry if this is confusing to follow. I am new to this forum.
Thank you !
