I was thinking of getting the Korg C-4 4track tape recorder. But i want to know if there are any other analog recorders out there that are better in quality and performance. Anyways I need responses fast. You guys know me by now I need results quick and accurate.

I help you. You help me.

Its that simple

I'm setting up a home studio with a 1/2" 8-track (Tascam) and Tannoy Reveal moniotrs. I got everything except the mixer. Any recommendations? I'm leaning to the A & H mixwizard. And also, whats with the great debate over direct outs and sub outs? I thought direct outs were the way to go. I may be using the computer for some demo work too...so I have to keep that in mind.

When using Pro Tools with an mbox, you can't record more than 2 tracks at a time and when recording bands live this is a problem. However I was thinking that I could simply get a 16-32 track mixer and record the band live analog and then record each track soloed into Pro Tools. However I'm not completely sure how analog recording works.

Anyone actually used one of these and compared it to Grace, Millennia, etc?
THANKS.

I'm looking at a widely divergent set of opinions everywhere and am really confused.
What are the basics I need to transfer my analog recordings(done on a 4 track Tascam mk-2 424 portastudio-most of them 2-3 channels)to DAW effectively?I'm looking to transfer the files to DAW for edting,tweaking and basic mastering purposes.
I did read about an A-D converter,but which type?

Ive about 100 songs I recorded on a Tascam 4 track and am thinking of trasferring them to a daw,remixing them,overdubbing the rythm patterns with drum samples,and just generally fixing all the weak spots.
Whats the best place to look for a daw..would I be able to get a good one on e-bay and what are the minimum requirements I should look for?

All.

I’m weighing up a possible mixer solution for a home studio. The current setup is as follows:

Vocals: BLUE Kiwi / U87 -> Liquid Channel
Acoustic guitar: KM184 x 2 -> John Hardy M1
Room: BLUE Kiwi -> John Hardy M1

Preamps -> LynxTWO -> PC with Cubase SX 3

I'm attempting to set up a recording system for my church. We will be doing Christian type music as well as choir recording. Anything from 2-16 tracks. I've got my PC and I've been looking at recording interfaces such as the Aardvark Q10 (until I found out they folded) but I'm really interested in using a mixer instead of a box of preamps that feed into the PC and then mixing in there.

I've only just started thinking about setting up a small studio and am in the process of deciding what equipment to buy.

As far as the desk goes i was thinking of a Yamaha 02R as it is fully featured and seems to be exactly what i need but i was wondering if i'd be better going for an analog desk + gates, compressors, effects etc.

What is the general opinion about this?

What happens when sending the ( RME) digital out @ 24/44.1. . to an fx unit that processes signal @ 20/44.1, and then back to RME's 24/44.1 inputs?

Bad, good?

Should I use RME's (and fx's) analog in/outs?
