guitar sounds nice man

Thank you for not wasting my time and explaining an awesome Dylan tune. Being able to teach something so quick yet thorough is a skill.

Getting 8 tracks onto a 1/8" piece of tape running at 3.75ips comes at a massive sacrifice of fidelity. Some people like that. I used to have the rackmounted 388 Syncassette back in the 90's before going to ADATs and then ultimately a DAW. With great power becomes great responsibility - and when people tracked to tape the tendency wasn't to overcorrect performances. That, to me, was the advantage. It certainly wasn't the dynamic / frequency range.

In terms of investing in yourself - I’ve used a Focusrite interface for over a decade and I work with music professionally I always said “can’t justify converters are pretty much the same” and I finally got myself an RME interface I had been looking at for YEARS. And I was flabbergasted with the immense improvement even just what the monitors revealed but also every mic I own sounded better - which in turn boosts my confidence and excitement working on music. Now I’m staring into a rabbit hole of 500 series gear but am tugging my own sleeve not to jump. I will try to rent something to make sure I don’t spend another decade missing out though!

where do i buy one???

Still have it, use it?

He does this lil variation after the 2nd verse that I can’t figure it’s at 1:04 in the song.

All examples sounded great, for me analog delay into overdrive was my favorite. Its got the chaos of Psychobilly and that sloppyness is desirable for that style of music. If i was playing country or 1950s music then yes overdrive first for sure. Thannks for this video, gives me things to try out differently than i usually do. My amp can be clean or overdriven but doesnt have an fx loop.

what kind of wood i you room made of? it sounds good

Its the proof that gear dosen't replace talent 😊👌👍

Miss your videos

Lovely!

Greaat !!

i’ve never been able to get finger picking down until now! thank you

Hi. Does it have motorized faders? This info is going around the web.

The 2400 is digital why did you put analog in the title? 🤔

Great video! Love the comparisons. What is that mic above the hi hat? Has quite a short body. Cheers

This is great! Love the comparisons. What is that mic above the hi hat? Has quite a short body. Cheers

Hi! I love the song you produced in the middle of the vid. Where can we find it? What is the song and artist name? Thank you!

Everyone knows FOR A FACT that you must have a 10 k mic to get a good recording. Does not matter if the song is any good, Does not matter if you are a good producer/engineer, nothing matters but the price of your equipment. Stop before you go to music jail

The Yamaha MT series is awesome. I used an MT2X for 10 years, it sounded amazing. I upgraded to a Fostex 8 track, and things sounded worse as a result. 😀 I think the Yamahas imposes a sound on everything that makes it really easy to mix, without making it sound cheap.

so in this vid you recorded into the DAW or onto the internal sound recorder? if DAW did you mix it in the DAW or analogue on the desk?

Extremely fun video man , thanks for sharing this.

Super clear and easy to follow, great video.

Great!!!!

Love the Realistic amp in the rack, fits right in with the high end gear😁. That really takes me back...

New gear like they haven't released yet?? Either way.. that's radcakes!

I have a Tascam dp 004, and the internal mics have perfect compression to me. On top of that I got the Mark Harmon Lyra Microphone, for twenty nine bucks. Love it, but would like your verdict.

soooooo worth it

I'm 57 years old we grew up with those you guys nowadays are spoiled with the easy friendly recorder.lol

It doesn't make a difference for someone who's an amateur or a semi-pro. If you are at a mediocre skill level it won't make you sound like a pro. A pro can make average equipment sound good, but A pro can make great equipment sound incredible. Once you get to a pro-level, incremental improvements makes a difference. The difference between the best PG in the NBA and the least good PG is incremental compared to the difference between the least good PG and the best semi-pro point guard. There's an ocean of difference between the latter two, but you can't tell the difference unless you really know what to look for. Expensive gear makes a difference once you get to a certain level as a pro. Until you get to that level, it's not what is going to make the difference. It's not going to turn you into a pro from a semi-pro. You have to have the skill level.

Wrong

LETS EMBRACE OUR SICK OBSESSION WITH GEAR!

Wow .. I remember those 😮

Had one of these, lots of fun! Being able to record drums on the 4 first tracks (kick, snare, toms/cymbals stereo) And then STILL (!!!) have 4 (!!!) tracks left for bass, guitars and vocals was just amazing

Liked the video, but I love my 246.

Good video. I am a singer songwriter. I was tired of travelling with all these pedals. Paying extra at airports etc so I sold all my pedals recently. Researched a bit and have found the perfect guitar rig (for me). Here it is if it helps anyone. Guitar -> DI Box (optional) ->Audio Interface -> Laptop (Neural DSP Plug-in) You can use a foot switch pedalboard to control the plug-in. I am planning to do automation on my backing track for so my guitar changes effects automatically. With this setup, I can record and release high quality music and also play live gigs with not worrying about having a good sound engineer at a venue. If anybody has a simpler rig, please let me know

How can i connect a tascam 424 mki to a notu m2 ? Picked up for free off facebook and i wanna record my final mix onto a tape and then back to my Daw to make tape rips

Liked and Subscribed my friend - - - Thank you - great to see other old-school Tascam fans like myself - first one for me was the model 144 portaStudio, then the 244 with those super-cool "quasi-parametric" EQ, (stacked, volume 15 db and sweepable freq) then the 388~ I can't believe to see this old wonder in your studio. I have a small pile of reels runing at 7 1/2 IPS or 15 IPS if I recall - would love to get my hands on that unit again just to remember what all these tapes have for songs from the late 80's! Thank you! Just got the Model 24 and learning everything before even getting into it now. Wonderful machine and you're so right about the manuals being well made - always for all their units. Cheers from Geoff in Hamilton, Ont. Canada!

This makes me wanna snatch some of these 38s i've been seeing on FB

38

Hey man what capo is that? Looking for a new one. Nice tut btw

if brace belden was an indie rocka

Mixing engineer/commercial studio owner here… This dude was hired by labels to make sure y’all can’t compete. Don’t listen to this bs. lol. Analog absolutely improves sound and mixes in general if you know what you’re doing. Hybrid for the win. But Learn with the analog modeled plugins first. They sound 95% of the way there

Why show the D/F# one way then play the other way? Doesn’t make sense

388 feels less defined, more rumbly in the low end, while not being as crisp in the highs, overall "warmer" I'd say. I personally like the tight bass on the 38.

If using as an interface, how can you route internal computer sound?😶‍🌫😎

Stupid talk at the beginning, out of tune bends and barefoot, disgusting ❤

Hah, not that I will manage, since I am the worst guitar player out there, but at least now I know how to properly do it! Thank you!
