Re: MY HEART (33 replies, posted in Songwriting)
I finely finished recording this song, I would like to thank Phill Williams for his valuable assistance in the post production and for recording a very tasty keyboard track I put together a collage of photos and motion backgrounds and added the sound track I decided not to video tape the recording of the song only because I was to busy editing and recording to setup a camera here is a link on my website to the video. ![]()

Re: New Tascam DP-24 day (44 replies, posted in Recording)
I re-recorded the vocal and added a acoustic guitar solo mixed it hit the mastering button had all the levels set and I couldn't understand why there was no master file created all the tracks are still there I spent several hours recording and mixing and I was groggy so I saved all the data and shut it down it occurred to me later I forgot to arm track 23 and 24 for the master file so I will do it tomorrow when my head is un-confused then I can divert my attention to planning a video for the audio track but the hard part is over the song is done I could have embellished it with some choir backing but I decided to forgo this addition. the song is in wav format and about 425MB I hate to compress it to a mp3 but it would take forever to upload a video in HD with a audio wav format so I will have to capitulate ![]()

Re: New Tascam DP-24 day (44 replies, posted in Recording)
yeah when the Tascam makes a master mix it automatically uses tracks 23 and 24 and both those tracks are controlled by one fader so I just have to raise the level on that fader the next time but I did learn something I definitely have to redo the lead vocal I was sitting down because I intended to use both condenser mic's to record,one for vocal and the other for my acoustic so this time I will stand and play the solo with my strat and see if that improves the quality
It took me a while to figure out that the master fader was not the volume control, too.

Re: New Tascam DP-24 day (44 replies, posted in Recording)
I recorded the vocal and mixed my song down and I am not happy with it only because it sounds better in my headset then my pc speakers, when I mastered it I didn't have the volume up enough I did cut a cd and confirmed I need to boost the volume on the final master I found this out when I played the cd I had to turn the volume up quite a bit from its normal setting so back to the drawing board I need to make another master track mix and after listening I think I need to redo the vocal again.

I finely finished all the backing tracks they are mixed and the only thing left is the lead vocal and I will put in a lead guitar solo my voice is a little raspy today so I will rest it and record the vocals tomorrow then master this and send it to my laptop as a wav file ready for the video ![]()

Re: New Tascam DP-24 day (44 replies, posted in Recording)
Fate intervenes we all have to make choices you made a good one some deals don't wait and the more I learn about the Tascam will make it easier for whoever gets one
I just got a new bass amp, so I may have to wait a bit before I can get one of these things. Which makes me sad.
But it was an SVT-4 + Cab for $650. Can't pass that up!
I'm living vicariously through you now, Russell!

when Michelangelo was painting the Cysteine chapel the pope repeatedly asked him "when will you make it done" the response was "when it is finished" I am not going to hurry this and when it is finished it will be something I will be proud to say "this is my composition"

Re: New Tascam DP-24 day (44 replies, posted in Recording)
Holy mother of God is this a machine or what? I recorded 12 tracks panned them and the sound is unbelievable I used my Miroslav Philharmonik software program to record two Steinway grand pianos in stereo then I added violas and violins bass and two guitar tracks stereo to keep the meter even I first recorded 3:45 seconds of a drum track generated by my Yamaha E 223 the tempo was set at 68 bpm so it was easy to follow I am so impressed with what I have so far I think I will compose another verse and omit the lead guitar solo. I will mix all the tracks and bounce them to stereo and start recording all the backup vocals some with Miroslav (for mixed choir oooh's) it sounds like the Mormon Tabernacle and some backup vocals will have to wait till I record the lead vocal I can only tell you what my ears hear and the only words to describe it is "angelic" I look forward to tomorrow and more recording time,I will video tape some segments and assemble them into one using the finished tracks as a audio for the video I should have this ready in about a week or so (no rush) and start my next project that I put on the back burner till I finished this one "heaven I'm in Heaven" ![]()

Re: Band Demo Recording (14 replies, posted in Recording)
if your plugging mics into a mixer you need power if there condenser mics like Jerome suggested they require phantom power normal mics like sure sm58 do not need phantom power but you will need power to send a signal to you pa or recording source.

Re: Reaper (21 replies, posted in Recording)
Roger actually I didn't give a thought been tired the last few days figuring out my Tascam I did get to speak with a Tascam tech guy regarding the card I am going to use and was relieved to find out the SanDisk Extreme class 10 32GB is ok to use this will save me over $70.00 there is a reason I am using such a high capacity and fast card it seems the faster you can transfer data the cleaner it will be(makes sense) I will keep working on my new song and put the guitar tracks on today that leaves only the vocals and mixing. but I did learn something today I know now what a yt video is ![]()
