  4. Another New Format by Sony...

    in Music Discussion

    you use md data disks with those things.they cost about 8 quid a go, and i think will record about 15mins if you are using all 8 channels. you can use a normal mini disk if you just want to record stereo stuff.

    we had to use them in 1st yr at uni before they would let us use a "real" studio.

    to be honest i wouldnt bother with them...for the same money you can get a decent hard disk multitracker and then you dont have to worry about the disks. or better still just use a computer.

    With three volume controls, one for each pickup, you could fully create a tone using all three pickups - all at different levels bringing a personalised tone to the next level - that's my assumption anyway....

    i like that idea.

    surely its just the same as a les paul type system, when you have the toggle swich in the middle, except with 3 pickups instead of 2?

    also my mates warwick bass works in this way...its great as you can drastically alter the tone my mixing the pickups in different ways.

  12. Home Recording/Studio PC or Mac?

    mac all the way...

    as for software...if you can afford Logic Pro (around 700 pounds) its an incredible package...as many tracks of audio as you want...many amazing soft synths and some really good plug ins...including emagics space designer reverb (worth over 300 on its own) and the exs 24 sampler.

    mart...me and a couple of others use the maudio firewire 410 interface...have found it to be incredibly good and the new drivers make it really stable. would definitely recommend it.

    its ok...im not a fan so it didnt interest me that much...its basically about all the techniques he used to record st anger.

    there was one a couple of months ago with rich costey about recording absolution by muse...that was cool. he is an incredible producer with some interesting ideas...

    alot of the time a separate mixing engineer is essential...the producer has been working on the stuff so long already and knows it so well that it is hard to get decent perspective on the mix...the fresh ears of a mix engineer can really breathe new life into a recording. also a good producer doesnt always make a good mix engineer...mixing is an art unto itself i suppose.

  19. Sparta

    i think sparta are a great band...the album is fantastic and they are brilliant live.

    i dont think you can compare any band to atdi...amazing as they were sparta dont resemble them and as far as im aware dont claim to resemble them in any way.

  23. Anyone good at cable wiring?

    if i were you i would get hold of a wee mixer...you could plug the mic preamp output into the input of the mixer then use a line output of the mixer into your soundcard. you could even use one of the aux sends on the mixer to control the level...then you could use the mixer to tie up any other stuff you have e.g keyboard, output to monitors etc.
