Multitrack recording (MTR), also known as multitracking or tracking, is a method of sound recording developed in 1955 that allows for the separate recording of multiple sound sources or of sound sources recorded at different times to create a cohesive whole.

Multitrack microphone "build-up"

So, if you use the same mic over and over to build up layers of sound, say, vocals, what can we do to prevent that "buildup" that occurs as the mic's particular eccentricities become emphasized?

Solving this problem would be a great boon to those of us who are very limited in our mic selection. I only have 3 mics, and only one of those is a pro mic, and it is an SM57!

problem mixing/mastering live multitrack recording... help?

I'm recording a live venue every week using a Fostex LR16 and bring the multitrack files home to mix using Audacity. I know it's a free program, but I'm hesitant to spend money until I get past a certain learning curve. I can get a decent mix, but when I export the mix as an MP3, it sounds funny. Sounds like "waves"...

Multitrack recording questions and options?

Hello. I am new to this forum and waiting for my registration to come through. I have been enjoying making purist recordings in DSD with my Korg MR-1000 with simple stereo mics of live unamplified acoustic performances. It is amazing how good these can be when things are just right. But, my opportunity to capture such things is rare.

Alesis Multimix USB 2.0 - Multitrack Recording

Hello guys.

Is it possible to record multiple separated tracks live with Logic or Ableton using this?

The fact is that I use to make live performances with many synths and I would like to record each on a individual track at the same time. I know that I could use a MOTU or other sound card but the mixer sounds good and it is more afordable.
