whats some tips on keeping analog recording tight?
i read in my manual that essentially the drums shuld be recorded first and each track individually, but our drummer hasnt been playing that long and struggles with his timing a bit,

ive been recording into the computer for a while now. i would like to get a reel-to-reel deck to do some experimenting with but i am totally new to the medium. ive been searching ebay and there are quite a few options. i know it is a crap shoot when dealing with ebay but what are your opinions on the different cheaper ($100-$300) vintage decks out there?

I'm gonna be trading in some old equipment and getting all new stuff for analog mastering (comp, eq, limiting).

Will be using my same Bowers and Wilkens 805s, B&W Sub, and Bryston Amp for monitoring.

So, if you had $12k budget constraint for analog mastering comps, eq and limiting, what would you get?

Digital vs analog recording.

Anyone having experience of A/B testing identical material
played back from a 24 track analog side by side an 24 track
digital machine?

I did a search for this and didnt find anything, although Im sure its been taled about...

I just became manager of a studio and am going from the PC world to Mac Pro Tools. Its all alien to me.

Heres basically what we have:

So I'm working on a setup, but I'm not interested in spending thousands on a single Neumann tube mic. To be more specific, I've been deciding between a Mackie Onyx 1640 analog mixer board, and the M-Audio Projectmix I/O hooked up to a Mac.

I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what equipment was necessary for putting together an analog studio for recording?

Obviously I would need a mixer, but is it possible to simply play through it and record to PC or some other high quality recorder? Or do I need something in between? And is Mackie a decent brand to go for?

Hello!

I was considering making some mastering tests using a nagra T-audio tape recorder...
But here's the thing, i just can't have it to record while at 30ips (maybe some option not available or something), it reads but it won't record...

has anyone already heard about that?

I have a set of Roland TD-12 V-Drums, a Yamaha keyboard, a guitar stereo signal processor and a Shure SM57 mic for vocals and recording guitar amps. That's it, 7 signals. I used to run them into an old Tascam M-35 analog mixer(8-4-2), and record one instrument at a time into the stock soundcard of my computer, a one man band setup.

Hi, I'm new here and I have a question.

first of all I have a MOTU 828mkII with 4 analog stereo out and one digital out.
Well I have a analog Mackie 32:8 too.
Until yesterday I use the 4 stereo out into mixer with this group of out:

out 1: groove
out 2: bass and bd
out 3: melody line and pad
out 4: vocals
