Home Recording/Demos

[diagrammatiks]

I think with a home setup you just gotta make sure you're not pissing everyone off with how loud you need to be. As long as you have good mic technique it's all good.

I just grabbed a reamper and some di tracks so I can work on miccing and actually eqing my amps. Check it.

so ya one of those is a valve jr combo.

I used a Tascam Portastudio for awhile until the hard drive went out. When I talked with them, they said I could buy a new drive for 398.00, my understanding of it is most of the portastudios use wierd drives that are not readily available, so I bit the bullet and got a mac pro that I can easily and very quickly change drives in. They cost way less money to purchase too, you can get a high end seagate 7200 rpm 750 GB drive for under 130.00 that has 5 times the storage space that a portastudio drive has.
For that much money you can buy a drive deticated to a project, and take it out when you done and keep the project on it for storage

So you can run the Tascam into a different hardrive? I only had the Tascam tape units back in the day so I'm not too familiar with the newer ones.

No, not the one I had, it was one of the bigger ones, and had a output for another drive, but you could not get around the drive in the unit not working. It had a large ribbon connector on it, and was the main drive. If I was more computer saavy, I might have been able to get around it, but I'm an idiot when it comes to computers. I know they were trying to ream me on the price, you might be able to get them cheaper somewhere else, but I did not know where to look I paid 1100 for it new
