I just purchased the Yamaha AW1600 workstation.I would like to take it around to record bands (a mobile studio of sorts to help pay for this thing).This unit can record 8 simultaneous tracks.If I just mike the room with 8 mikes,I would get a good 'Live' sound?and if so,type of mikes should I buy ?

Hi folks

I am a newcomer to live recording, but have experience of mixing and overdub recording. I will shortly have a budget of around £1800 Sterling (about $3300) to invest in some new equipment to help me record small jazz groups live and on location studio projects.

I currently own:

hello everyone, ive lurked here for a bit and read threads that caught my eye, but i havent seen any questions like mine.

I'm 20 years old and ever since i got into music ive tried my hardest to immerse myself in all aspects reguarding and relating to it. haha, basically ive tried to live.

I am currently recording on a Fostex MR-8HD and transferring my (rather large) .wav files to my computer and ACID Music 3.0 (I know it's old!) for mixing, EQing, etc.

In on-site classical sessions, I like to:

1. start recording
2. voice slate the take.

Then the players play. At the end,

3. I stop tape and label the take (the file, that is) with the right take number.

Hi,

I'm putting together a recording for a recorded audition for an orchestra.

I will be recording mainly trumpet, but also with piano in parts.

The venue is quite live in acoustic , but not as bad as a toilet!

I will be using Logic Pro 6 with a MOTU 828.

Hello i have a student coming into my studio to do some recording. unfortunately the drum kit is rather er cheap sounding.
I have four to six tracks i can devote to the percussion. Has anyone some ideas on placement and ways to improve the tonal characteristics?

I am traveling with the Heidelberg Symphony and Chorale of the Holy Ghost Church (also Heidelberg) on a Cathedral tour, which I have the extreme pleasure of recording. All the venues are enormous cathedrals with soaking wet reverb.
Each night there will be two choirs and two orchestras.

I'm using cool edit pro 2.1 to record. I'm using a fostex fd-8 digital 8 track recorder as the mixer(i gave up trying to figure out how to use the fd-8 ). I'm playing into the fd-8 and getting decent sound. i want to upgrade my soundcard. there is a low low hiss on recordings. what do you suggest? id rather get an external soundcard if possible.

I am mixing some of my recordings using pro tools. I was wondering if anyone had any standard rule of thumb. Is it best to pan everything first. then adjust volume. When adding effects such eq, compression, delay is there an order that works best? I am very new to mixing. I spend an hour mixing then bounce to my hard drive, burn it to a CD. It sounds terrible. I know there's an art to it.
