Hey guys, so glad I found this site today. I was hoping some of you would give me your opinions on this recording I did recently for my band.

For me personally I was pretty happy with the results. Sounded good on the monitors, sounded good in the car, sounded good on headphones.

I want to keep things simple - probably one of the reasons I play acoustic (guitar and mandolin). I want to be able to have a Fostex-like device that will allow me to experiment musically at home and accompany myself on one instrument, while I am playing back another previously laid down track. Simple enough.

Thought I'd throw this out there, maybe someone will know...

I'm looking at an old mixer that I want to buy, but the thing that's baffling me is the outputs:

1 left/right lo output
2 left/right hi outputs

I plan on doing some recording, including vocals. So far, I have a GT-PRO and PODXT which I could record direct into my computer for bass and guitar, so that's solved.

I currently have a condenser mic that I borrowed from a friend that needs to be run on phantom power. AKG C4000B to be specific (it's all that he has)

Alright, I know how to record and stuff like that... cept... I don't know how to make it sound good... and produced.

Heres what I used:

Adobe Audition 2
A sh*tty Casio Keyboard (for the drums and piano.. didnt even use midi)
A Mackie 406m powered mixer running into my Audigy 2 ZS soundcard
Audix Om2 mics

hey guys whts up...i m doing mixing now a days of an album i have done.. i m dealing with the person who has some issues with the bass...he wants his bass to stand out as well as kick... his voice is very MIDDY. and yet he wants the crisp... now i have mixed it quite well the thing is i m confused about selecting bass tone...

Hey guys,

Heres the deal, ive been working on this project for about 4 or 5 months. Ive heard the songs thousands of times.

I am going to be recording many tracks of orchestras and bands (the type with clarinets) and I am wondering which 48 channel mixer is going to be the best. I have about 15k in the budget for it.

Looking for preamp/sound quality and overall quality and ease of use.

I am considering buying a used 2-track for mixdown, instead of
the DAT or ITB that I do now. Will any reasonably well-maintained 2-track do the job (once aligned and cleaned, and perhaps relapped) of giving my mixes the warmth I need?
For instance, I see a lot of
Otari MX 5050 on Ebay. I could probably scratch together $1K
if I found the right machine.

I'm pretty new to the whole home recording and DAW world. I've been messing around for awhile at home using Sonar 3 and various softsynths. I don't have any wild money making dreams. Just a hobby that seems to grow more serious as the days go by. .more expensive as well. :D
