Daggers Posted 25 May 2008 Posted 25 May 2008 Don't you record at home? What machine do you use? I just ordered a Boss BR-900V2, it looked good on the spec and the reviews...and it's a Boss.
Jay Posted 25 May 2008 Posted 25 May 2008 so what sort of thing you planning on doing Vlad/Daggers? or whatever you want to be called today Slightly different but just took delivery of this little baby... The Numark total control USB mixer it's great fun you can do all the obvious but you can also start a loop on a track and keep it playing and so on it's great fun
Daggers Posted 25 May 2008 Author Posted 25 May 2008 so what sort of thing you planning on doing? I used to record back on a tape2tape (what turned out to be rather Tangerine Dream type stuff) and could never afford proper kit. It's just for my amusement really; I've got a mike, semi-acoustic & a double humbucker leccy, a keyboard and the 8 track. I love loops, layers and harmonies balanced with dischord...basically, an aural mess. I was taken with the Boss because of the reviews of its inbuilt digital trickery. Roll on Tuesday - and then that is any plan I had of developing websites over the summer totally blown out of the water!

What machine do you use?I just ordered a Boss BR-900V2, it looked good on the spec and the reviews...and it's a Boss. holy mary, mother of god! that is an effing beast! to be honest, i don't use a standalone recorder, i mean i've used some analogue, 4-track dohickeys in the past, and as part of my degree some proper 16tracks. but everything i do, i do on the pc now, but you don't get that 'hands on' feel something like your 'boss' will give you (oo-er!) i used a boss drum machine for a bit and it was really nice and simple to use, so hopefully yours will do you just fine - it's all about inputs if you're getting something like that, and i guess your processors (comp, reverb, eq)... what sort of mic do you have - that's truly the place to invest, i use a rode and it was great value for money....
Daggers Posted 26 May 2008 Author Posted 26 May 2008 what sort of mic do you have - that's truly the place to invest, i use a rode and it was great value for money.... I've gone on a budget Shure to kick off with - but vocals will be one of the last things I'm bothered about. It's mainly sound and all of that will come straight from the amp. I swear I have a 58 knocking around somewhere in the roof - I need to dig out my old music box. I want to get some decent yet cheap sampling and looping software n'all. The beatbox aspect is rather redundant now I am the proud hungover owner of a drum kit.

The beatbox aspect is rather redundant now I am the proud hungover owner of a drum kit. i was perhaps thinking more about the acoustic guitar, and if you're using a live kit (seriously) then, again, your mic is important, but Shure sure know what they're doing. if you wanna do loops something like recycle with reason is probably a good bet, especially if you wanna make some sound collages, some very easy to use synth devices on board...

It's a semi-acoustic Good call on the software - I'll try out the demo, cheers.
