Ahhggg...(VF-160 guys)
I have arecording project in 2 days and I am befuddled on 2 accounts. They are seemingly easy questions but the owners manual isn't so forgiving...
Here's the scenario...all recording will be done by individual musicians recording to a "scratch track" with metronome.
drums first, bass, 2 or 3 guitars, 2-4 vocal tracks.
Very simple & straight forward.
Question #1: Should I go the "direct mode" or should I go the "buss mode."?
Question #2: I will be recording drums first. The kit has 4
mic's (snare, kick, L overhang, R overhang). Should I use an outboard Mackie Mixing board to send the mic's into first in order to ensure a quality EQ? or is the VF-16 good enough to handle the lower dynamic frequencies of the kick etc?
Question #3: Ummm..how do I save songs? (please don't laugh but)...when I hit the "STOP" button after recording the scratch track after song #1, how do I let the VF-16 know that I'll be doing another song?
Geepers...sounds so elementary but help an analoge brother out please!
