Description

The term "tracking" is a process when recording various instruments, voices etc used to create a song or production within its track. If a song is recorded one track at a time, we refer this to "tracking". Every time you record a new track, you hear all the other ones you've recorded as well. This tag discusses all sorts of topics on tracking music.

multitracking problem

Hey all...a little new at this. could you all give me the best option with what I have..

I've got:

Pentium III 640MB
Cool Edit Pro
M-Audio 1010
Yamaha MG12 mixer
a bunch of mics and instruments

Now how exactly do I configure the M-Audio/ yahama mixer relationship in order to multitrack record on Cool Edit with as many tracks as I can?

Which compressor is better for tracking or mixing between the teletronix la2a, avalon(any compressor), urei 1176, dbx Quantum II, fairchild 670-660, manley(any), drawmers? I do understand that each instrument or vocals may require a different compressor for better results...but which one is the most consistant between the ones I named :D ?
