i have a cool little recording setup going now

[Alligatorbling]

its far from professional, actually, its pretty ghetto... one of my mic stands is a camera tripod and masking tape

i have a tascam 4 track cassatte, a behringer mini mixer with 4 inputs, each with a volume so i can run multiple mics for recording drums. i have a total of 4 mics now, 3 cheapos (radio shack, peavey, and tascam) and a condenser mic.

i also have the luxury of owning a nice set of isolation headphones as well (with extension cord so i can move around my music room with them on)

to port my tracks over to the digital world i run the tascam into my pc via an rca cable and record into cool edit pro (sort of like audacity but with more bells and whistles) as a wav file, then save it as mp3... works pretty well =)

i look forward to laying down some tracks this week while im off work. perhaps if i get into it i might one day upgrade some of my stuff, but for now its more than enough to have fun with =)

cool, man......can't wait to hear some more of your stuff.
that demo you dropped on us last week or so, was cool.
trade the masking tape for duct tape and you're golden.

I always wanted to do some online collaboration.I don't know how to though.Some of that Isee others do on you tube and stuff seems kinda fun.How is that done?

 

[Alligatorbling]

its differnt ways... one way would for one person to lay down a track and upload it, then the other person can download that track and save it, open audacity and load the file as the first track, then record into the computer along with it and mix it down save then upload. a third person can then do the same, and so on, of course eventually the quality will go downhill, but just for having fun it would work =)

Start a thread in The CELLAR about wanting to collaborate w/ musicians online / virtual band. You'll get a buncha replies.
Also....the dudes on Youtube video themselves recording their audio parts.....then they all sync their parts up.

i wanna get a custom kick drum head with this on it... that would make my setup complete.

I was just about to post that I liked the "dry" recording better.....

ive always liked reverb, dont know why. i think because when i was a kid i had an amp without reverb for the longest time, a few years after playing guitar my parents got me a peavey bandit with reverb and i was in awe of how it sounded lol...

Just great ain't it... I love my Digitech and Sonar Producer for recording.. I have tried many of recording interfaces & software and this USB multi effects pedal unit has it all.

Maybe you could record a backing track and add it to my backing tracks thread.
