(this is just a note to everyone to keep their minds open)
I was recording some direct guitar from my DC-3 recording out, and decided I wanted to try my compressor and BBE in the chain. I didn't feel like repatching everything, wishin I had a patch bay. THen I had an idea!
My compressor and the BBE are plugged into the l/r out of my 4 track and it goes into my tape deck. I plugged the direct out from the amp into line 5 (left) on the 4track, which is routed into the compressor (via the left buss as always) and then took a mono cord and plugged it into the headphone out of the tape deck and then into channel 3 of the four track. I panned everthing right (to keep it off of the left buss) and recorded direct onto track 3.
I was a little worried at first about sending my signal through a tape deck, but I didn't get any unwanted effects from it. Plus I had some cool extra metering going on (not that it mattered) THe headphone out has no level control- for the first time I was happy about this- that just meant I bypassed some potentially crappy JVC shematic!
Anyway, so log this one away in the big book of guerilla (gorilla?) recording techniques
Wait I minute!- why am I in the Mixing forum- oh well!
