I know many of you have some sophisticated recording setups. Mine is fairly simple at the moment using a PC, a small behringer mixer, and a veriety of PC audio software like Acid Pro, Cubase, Sound Forge, Reason and Live. I also use a Fostex mr8hd so I can record 4 tracks at once simultaneously. I'd like to talk about the software and hardware you use for recording.

Thu, June 22, 2006 - 9:09 AMHi again Can you record more than two tracks simultaneously? Do you record other musicians? Live? Overdubbed? -

Re: recording - software and hardware
Thu, June 22, 2006 - 6:45 PMNo, unfortunately I don't at this time. The Darla card only has 2 ins, so I would need a seperate mixing board to record 2 at the same time. Usually record one part at a time. Program the drums after a couple of scratch ideas and then lay the bass track, and guitars, vocals, any extra tracks, and then start to mix the thing. Recording basic 101 there. :) hahaha..

Re: recording - software and hardware
Thu, June 22, 2006 - 9:18 AMrecording: Most of my recording has been either overdubbed or in stereo where I pan hard left and hard right then split the stereo file into 2 separate files. this works okay unless something is recording with a microphone. With the Fostex mr8hd I can record 4 tracks simultaneousy which helps me when I record my wife and I playing. She sings and plays keyboard, and I usually either play bass or guitar. The tricky part is sending the wav files from the digital recorder to my computer. As long as there is no space in the beginning of a track , then all tracks line up fine and I can edit without messing with the beats and splicing. -

Re: recording - software and hardware
Thu, June 22, 2006 - 6:46 PMI have recorded other musicians before with this rig. Just need allot of mics, and big mixing board to do so. The card does rather well for me, and I haven't been really a whole lot serious about it. Right now, needing some new computer gear - which I should be getting this Saturday actually. New monitor, and new CD burner.
