Hello everyone!
I'm glad to be here, and i'm hoping to meet all fo you regulars here. First off, if this is in the wrong section, i apologize. Beofre I get to my question, I want to describe my background, so you can save time in your responses.

Im no stranger to recording, Ive been recording on my computer for years. Im interested in diving into the realm of analog. Whats a good brand to look for on ebay or something?

Hello all my first post here :D Im new to recordings though i have used pro studios many times for the bands that i have played in myself, i no longer have the time to travel to studios but still want to record new material, i would like to produce something of a decent standard if at all possible using a portastudio ! are there any machines worth buying ?

Hi,

Is it possible to use old 'ministudios' like Tascam 424s as tape echo units?

Did those things have seperate Play/record heads? Or would you just be hearing the signal going through the mixer, and not the recorded signal?

I realize you can do this with reel to reel, bit what about cheaper stuff like cassette 4-track machines?

Cheers,

Jaike

I want to get some recording device for my birthday, but don't want my sisters to spend too much money. I'm don't really care as long as it sounds passable for a demo.

Would there be some way for me to hook up two 4-tracks ($160) instead of one 8-track digital recorder ($260), or would you think the difference in audio quality from cassette to CD-quality not be worth it?

I typically use 48kHz for larger track count projects, and 96kHz for smaller track count projects. Just curious what rates most people are using.

I've had a ZOOM 4-track recorder ( I think it was $200.00 ? ) for a few years but realized that the unit is only capable of recording "shorter" recordings, not 3+ hours continuosly. Now,I have the ZOOM H4 which has a 4-track built in, but, I'd still rather have a unit with larger control buttons & sliders.
If my ZOOM 4-track was capable of long recordings, it would be perfect.

Hi all, new to the forums here. Ummm...anyway...

what do they mean?

Hello!

If we wanted to setup our Alesis HD24 on it's own mixer...what would you recommend? At this time, we only need the mixer to set gain and levels going to the recorder. After that, we'll dump all the data to a computer.
