"If you can't master the four-track, what makes you think you need more?" EXCELLENT advice.

On the other hand, an 8 track portastudio isn't more expensive. So why should you buy 4 instead of 8 tracks.

I love the limitations of 4-track recording! I'm the proud owner of a 1989 Tascam PortaTwo in 100% mint condition because it sat in a Hollywood Studio on a shelf as a spare unused for decades. Luckily I was able to pick it up and it now lives in my studio! Good stuff Landon, new subsciber here!

one idea would be to record from the PC to the four track then take those recorded tracks on tape and bounce them to track four (say if your doing a 6 track multi recording).

Hey! If you bounce the bottom 3 tracks to one, does it turn into mono? Id like to record stereo drums on for 2 tracks panned left and right, then bounce them into one and have room for more..does it work like that?

What do you mean by "recording silence"? Do you just mean listening to the tape play while record is on? Thank you for the video by the way, it's very informative. I've never recorded with a four track cassette before. I can't imagine not being able to punch in and correct mistakes as I much rather prefer doing that than re-recording a full song in whole especially with the kind of music I make (black/death metal with complicated composition structures that are usually pretty lengthy)

yes but it wont sound great, unless you have some sort of multi FX that does amp simulation. The best way is to just buy a mic and record the speaker of your amp. An SM57 is the standard mic for that

I'd do record digital then record that track only to tape,I use adobe audition 1.5 for my 4 track I use a 1979 Teac 144. Nothing special (all it would need is 3 connections to my PC's line out,Line in,and the mic using RCA extenders,RCA dual link and RCA to 3.5mm stereo mini jack cables).

Hey, great video! When you make a mistake and you record silence, does that mean that everything you did so far gets erased and you have to start over again? Sorry, I'm very new to this :)
@magicspiral3323
@magicspiral3323 Жыл бұрын
Thanks! Yes, it’s like taking an eraser to a pencil drawing. I do it that way because it saves running time on the tape. You don’t have to record silence, but it helps reduce the “ghosting” effect from the previous recording.
