bridgethegap.tk?

i remember that. it was such a blatant mf rip... :lol: iwth a couple of lessons on it.

hey, I plan on making a little studio in my garage, and I can't really move my computer in it, so I need a recorder. I'm short in cash, so people talked to me about the fostex mr8. some say this is really good, some say this is crap... I can't spend a lot of money now, so I need a good recorder and a condenser mic to start, after I'll buy more mics. so should I go with the fostex?

and other thing, can someone explain me what is a mixer??? Is it essential?

thank you.

a mixer in its most basic form has 2 or more inputs (usually much more), where different signals can be mixed and panned into a stereo output. I don't think a mixer exists that does only that, but that is what a mixer is in its most basic form. if you get a recorder, you won't need a mixer to start with, but you will want one very soon. the experts can go into details here.

My first thoughts are for a Tascam 414 MK2 and a behringer tube mic pre-amp with large dia condenser, but i/the k will answer in more depth tommorow.

thank you, but the tascam is a tape recorder, can I put the recording in the computer after?

[QUOTE=groomits]thank you, but the tascam is a tape recorder, can I put the recording in the computer after?[/QUOTE]

yeah, you can mix it down to stereo once you've finished trackin and mixing it. you can then master it on your computer.

The difference being that MX sucks. And is about as much help to bands as a used condom being thrown around a high school bus.
Bridge The Gap is being designed as something MX will never be.
MusicianForums is designed to help musicians, and it's essentially the by-product of MXtabs* which isn't really around for helping bands.

*A massive breach of copyright. I have contacted Jeremy about this but I was ignored and my thread was closed under the basis of "There are loads of tabsites around, it's legal" by him and another mod who parrotted this reason.
Unfortunately, it's not,

Fact of the matter = tabs are illegal unless you have permission, I don't neccessarily agree with this, but it's the truth and the law, disagreeing with a law doesn't exempt you from it. Jeremy has ignored my warnings about tabaleture being illegal so if mxtabs is shut down then that's his fault.

EDIT: Before anyone reads all of that and says "Ah but the clause says non-commercial use it cool, AHA!"
Jeremy makes alot of money from MX.

The threadstarter was saying that I could record with my computer. I said that I could not move my comp into my recording room, but maybe I'll be able. The thing is that there's a lot of humidity in the room in summer, will it affect my comp? Maybe you're not specialists about computer though...

ok I must be boring... but I changed my plans. I don't need of a recorder anymore. I'll record with my comp.

here's some questions :

1. What do I need to record with my comp? (mixer, mics, software, sound card and?)
2. What free software can I use?
3. Where I plug the mixer?

I'm a total noob in that recording thing, I try to learn the more I can...

Pricing
 

hey abstract,
:confused: is there anywhere to get monitors, mixers, and other equip. for cheap?????if so how much on average?

Anyone who knows anything about recording, listen to that tell me which of all of the sounds sounds best and then how to eq it so it sounds better.

I just miced my smaller amp (the other is too powerful to mic properly, I shake the house off it's foundation) and I need to know which sounds the best out of all those. This may or may not be the right thread for this.

The mic was about 2 inches from the not-center-part of the speaker.

I'm using a dynamic mic because my friend has my condenser at the moment.

hey, the abstract. Thanks for this post...I can't believe I'm finally finding something so informative.....plus when you said you love the chili peppers I just about **** myself. Have you tried or heard anything about the Audigy 4? I'm looking into buying a good soundcard here soon and am debating on which one....should I just go with the Audigy 2 platinum pro?

Hey dude! thanks for the lessons!

if i bought an SM57 now, would i want to replace it with a BETA 57 later? and whats the main differences between the two? thanks

[QUOTE]if i bought an SM57 now, would i want to replace it with a BETA 57 later[/QUOTE]

Probably not, unless you have way too much money to burn

no sm57 is fine. I have one, it's reat. you don't need to replace it, you'll hardly be ble to hear the difference anyway. There's way better things to burn out your dosh on.

Kickass lessons!

instead of wasting your energy advertisising the same thing in more than one thread, which pisses everyone off, waste it on pressing the caps lock before you start typing.

question: this is not related to studio, but just in general, for a two speaker + subwoofer hi-fi system: is it better to have the subwoofer on the floor or high up? I'm guessing on the floor...

Subs on floor ^^^^ hey everybody im Nic, i used to be the abstract, i wrote this thread, but i got banned, and im still not certain why, but im back and rockin, thanks for keeping this thread alive guys. Oh yeah and im not in The Abstract any more, im in a new band, a five piece, im the singer, the bassist from the abstract plays guitar, and we have a new bassist, keyboarder and drummer, so yeah, keep askin those recording questions!

ok so a tascam portastudio 488 wont record right it just plays back really really slow if i try to put it in a tape player

[QUOTE=invrtedflag]ok so a tascam portastudio 488 wont record right it just plays back really really slow if i try to put it in a tape player[/QUOTE]

you have to master to a different tape in a seperate tape player.

I'll try again: anyone had any experience with the Audigy 4 and whats the difference between that and the Audigy 2 Platinum?

could you explain it a lil more im new to this

[QUOTE=blkmxma]I'll try again: anyone had any experience with the Audigy 4 and whats the difference between that and the Audigy 2 Platinum?[/QUOTE]

no, fraid not.

try harmony central maybe.

[QUOTE=invrtedflag]could you explain it a lil more im new to this[/QUOTE]

record you're 4 tracks as normal, set the levels. then, plug the 4 track line outs into atape player/PC, press record on the thing you're mastering to, and then hit play on you're 4 track to record a useable version of the song.

ok thanks

cool thanks man
