Started recording my Folk band in 2001, on 4 Track Tape. Then started PC recording in 2002. I've only been recording the rock type suff in the last 2 yrs, and metal during the last 6 months.

Since the age of 10 when I first starting using a tape machine and a stereo to do multi tracking - needless to say i got a better sound out of that than i can out of most of todays new fangled rubbish.

About 5 years in one form or another

Did a two year course to learn the solid foundations between the ages of 16 - 18, then have since been learning from forums like this!

 

[SickBoy]

I've always been into producing things, but time, space and equipment restrictions never allowed me to get deeper into things. I'm pretty much confined by my own room and do it all ITB. I've been doing and learning this stuff for about 4 years and I've got loads to learn yet to do a recording I'd be really satisfied with...

[LynchpiN]

Ok, I've been playing with tape decks since I was twelve.

Said that so I don't feel that much like a newbie now.

 

[SickBoy]

Yeah, those were my first "recording" experiences as well... :Smug:
I'd get a cheapo synth and "play drums" on them, then record my guitar over those horrible drums while one cassette was recording to another. And may I add, I had no distortion pedal, it was coming from me plugging the guitar into mic input and overdriving it. Jesus!

 

[Fabbio]

I started recording in 1998 on a 4 tracks Tascam, switched to 8 tracks digital in 2000 and I started using ProTools LE in 2003.

Always recorded my and my bands' stuff.

Never produced something by others but I can get decent results on my things.

 

[SymbolicSV]

since 2001

something usefull : 2005

 

[LynchpiN]

Lol, what about an old mixer with a "gain" knob on the channels, until saturation?

Bob Rock would be proud of us.

 

[AmirH]

Not quite two years, but everything I did until maybe last August has been fairly horrible. Took me a long time to learn even the most basic of the basic and honestly I still feel like a total newb at it.
