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.

Syncing a Analog Multitrack to DAW

I am considering purchasing an analog reel-reel 8 track recorder and using it along with my DAW which consists of a Gadget Labs 824 soundcard and N-track. I would like to record bass and drums on the reel-reel and the rest on the DAW, can these two machines be accurately synced together? How does one go about doing this?

DAW: multitrack w/ foldbacks?

Greeetings! In a nut shell, I'm putting together a DAW (who isn't?) and my question concerns signal flow and system config. I want to be able to track up to 16 tracks live and avail of myself the ability to foldback monitor sends to the studio (ideally 6, 4 min.). I realize I will probably need two A/Ds to get the 16 tracks (or maybe an Apogee A/D 16 and an D/A 16?).

need multitrack recording software suggestions

hey all-

I've been a Cool Edit Pro user for quite a while and finally I am fed up with the mix interface (i.e. no mixer), plus there's really no real-time processing - you basically have to bounce any audio through whatever fx...but I still love the general processing power of CEP :cool: .
