No fucking way in hell a 4-track is more convenient that your good ole computer for home recording. With a computer you can do pretty much the same stuff as in any studio provided you have the right software including plugins for reverb, compression and so on and a decent sound card, and editing sound (Cutting away silence, patching bits&pieces together and so on) is really simple and you can use however many channels you want. If you want no extravagant stuff, basically just a multi-track recorder I recommend Goatstudio, google for "goatstudio lasse" and you will find it.JayKeeley said:In this day and age, is it even worth getting an old 4-track tape recorder to record bits and pieces, or should one just dive into the software now? Is a 4-track more convenient?
Also, when you're writing stuff, do you transcribe the pieces you want to keep on to paper? Or do you just record it and hope you can remember how to play it again when you listen to it days/weeks later?
I can't find it - can you dig out the URL?NAD said:That recording thread is awesome, I've referred back to it several times and learned all kinds of crazy crap.
I'll bump it along with your Satanic Verses thread for speed. I'm a thread finding machine.JayKeeley said:I can't find it - can you dig out the URL?
Absolutely!If I play some crap, can I send you a tape and you add the bass?
