How I invented the world's greatest kick kzbin.info/www/bejne/noXTmKCZqNWWd5I

[@alexanderdragiev2050]

The "Not following my assignment" thing happens to me constantly. When I have a particular style/idea in mind and I want to execute it, I always end up with something completely different. But that's the beauty of it I think. I let the song guide me and take me where it wants to be. I like where this song took you and itself.

[@ThatBonsaipanda]

My first experience in music production was working in a studio that was just doing the transition to digital (this was way back in 1998ish). I almost lost my marbles with the analog gear with the exact same issues you were facing. We used a ton of expanders and whatnot to artificially stretch the range but you can only go so far. Once it started to move into digital, it just fealt so freeing, but we were having a lot of issues with the AD/DA blocks and the computers struggling to keep up etc. When I left, I woved to never work with analog gear again, but I still do come back to it even today. :D

I use a 4 track reel to reel and building a song with many parts is wild. Record three tracks, mix down to one, record two more tracks, mix down to one, repeat.

I read a quote from Bob Ohlsson of Motown recently that he did several different mixdowns and was reall intuitive with the automation, doing things on the fly he couldnt recreate and then cut and spliced the best parts of the mixes together. He said he still does this straight into protools. He said Motown had the first automation desk, but they actually had it removed from the desk once in a service, because they preferred the method above. Now he just records his mixes as playlists stright into protools and then comps the best bits together and says its still quicker than adding automation after the fact. Anyways, thought you might find this information useful!

All nostalgia aside. I think working with analog will make you a better producer. Mic placement, eq of amp beforehand. Analog is also kind of unforgiving. Not to mention there's a certain amount of surprise when you hear it back on tape, like wow tape made that nasty tone sound sweet, or whoa where's all the air. I just did my first bounce on 246, and I was like wow came out 10 times louder than expected had to redo it. But the amount of fun and enthusiasm of working with tape, a song that ain't even that cool, the simplest riff ever, sometimes on tape your like yeah I wanna work with that.

[@Ryan_Poff]

Can we get a video where you use the 388 as a guitar tape echo effect? If it doesn't have direct outs you could use the insert as one, then capture the echo after it hits the tape. I think that would be a cool upload.

[@travisraab]

you'll have to explain to me how to do that rook!

[@Ryan_Poff]

@@travisraab so you take the original signal from the "access" send on that machine (looks like thats what your insert is called) and record that into your daw, or one of your portable studios. So that's your signal with no latency. Then that signal should still be going to tape on the Tascam 388. The time it takes to go from the record head to the play head creates a delay. The slower tape speed ips you use the longer the delay. Then you capture the stereo out after tape. Send that to your Daw or portastudio. Blend the tape signal to taste. Works with vocals to. That's how they got the John Lennon double tracks.

[@travisraab]

@@Ryan_Poff you mean i record a delayed track back onto another track?

[@Ryan_Poff]

@@travisraab I think that would cause a nasty feedback. No you would have to record onto another tape machine or into your daw. I have an idea. How about use your new portastudio. Capture your guitar the way you normally would either going direct in, or amping it up on the portastudio. Then, use the aux on the Portastudio sending to the tascam. Then send the out of the tascam after it hits the tape back into your portastudio through the aux return. Then you can use the aux fader knob on the portastudio to control the delay. Or you could bring it back in on a whole other channel that way you can use eq, and pan it, etc. So in a sense your just using the tascam as a big a** guitar pedal, or piece of outboard gear.

[@Ryan_Poff]

@@travisraab then you can adjust the time of the delay by changing the tape speed on the tascam.
