I use Tracktion 3 as my DAW and I love the layout and feel of it. Well I recorded 24 tracks today and with only 8 plugins I started to get the stutters. I running Windows XP Pro (32Bit), with an AMD X2-4800 cpu (dual core) and 4 gigs of memory. My hard drives are all 7200rpm WD. And all inessential processes are removed from Windows.

I am a noob, but I have a decent amount of experience with recording just not with pro-tools. I have a delta 1010LT with a 16 track mixer. anyways, whenever I get the tracks all set to make a final mix and bounce the tracks over, no matter what format I bounce it to, the distorted guitars sound flangery, drums and bass go to sh*t, etc.

So you should, in order to get a fatter sound and that soft hi end. It's even easier to mix and you can avoid to sound too "digital" like eveybody.
Most of the major recordings are doing it before to start mixing. At least for the drums, but bass, guitars and lead vocal make the difference too.

In both Sony Acid Pro 6 or Sony Vegas Pro 8, you can move tracks above and below each other, but is there a more sophisticated way to organize them? That is, can you group tracks like you can group layers in Photoshop? Like, have a vocals group with all vocal tracks?

Hi all,
Well I was writing up a song and recording it but wanted to hear any opions on the guitar Tracking with these 2 samples:

I'm using Pro Tools LE and generally it works well, but a weird problem is the clicktracks. Sometimes they work OK but often they go completey haywire - being completely uneven.
Very frustrating!
Any suggestions?

Hey folks,

Sorry if this is not the right forum for this. I didn't quite know where to put it.

Our church will be looking at moving into recording our services within the next year. We are looking at possibly using a recorder such as the Alesis HD24 for recording each channel on a separate track.

Hi,

Is it possible to use old 'ministudios' like Tascam 424s as tape echo units?

Did those things have seperate Play/record heads? Or would you just be hearing the signal going through the mixer, and not the recorded signal?

I realize you can do this with reel to reel, bit what about cheaper stuff like cassette 4-track machines?

Cheers,

Jaike

Simply put:

I record through my PreSonus firepod. It can record 8 tracks at once. I don't necessarily need to *record* more than that at one time.

However,

Ok...I need to look further into this and I feel this is a great place to start.
