analog if i were a millionaire, i prefer it. (multitrack that is, don't have a 4 track).
but i work on digital.

I prefer analog because it's all I know. I record into built in mic in a shitty 1994 radio/tape player.
Digital seems better and easier, though.

Then get the fuck off here!

how does your setup sound?

Like shit.

ouch, sorry

I like it that way. Just wish I could do more then one track. That gets pretty annoying.
The other day I was trying to record a song, but I wanted a light fuzz in the background, so I had to turn on one amp and sit the cord on something metal (too keep a constant buzz going) and then play notes with my other guitar. Like I said, a pain.

I can imagine. You can get a 4-track pretty cheap, between $100 and $150. I know, that's easier said than done, I can't afford that right now either...

I could afford one, probably. It's just not a top priority now.
And only having one track is making me strive harder to get a band together, that way we can record a song in one track.

yeah, it's such a pain in the ass to try to do everything yourself, even with a 4-track... it's so much easier when some of the work can be delgated

Dude I owe you big. You got some rep coming. I was just about to post that. :cool:

fuck it, you can have some too.
your in a band, and its kool.

edit: shit, i have to spread some around first.

If I record on my computer, it sounds like shit.

If I record on this tape player I have, it sounds like shit.

I'm thinking of not recording at all.

damn dude, same here!!! that's lame! lemme find a CHOUT thread... :D

lets not all forget that the sound will only be as good as

0. your instrument

1. your microphone / DI

2. the quality of the copper it travels down and also the quality of the plugs you have attached to the ends of the copper

3. the preamps of your desk / soundcard

4. your gain structure

5. your eq

6. your compression

with digital the better signal you get to track the less you have to use plugins.

my physical setup is all analog, then i record line in to audacity which is digital and do minimal editing, cutting out parts etc.

the cd i just finished had some tracks that were really crisp, harsh, digital sounding and i didnt like it so i transferred it onto tape from computer and then from tape back onto computer and it helped alot.

i dont fancy recording straight to tape much though cause its a pain to transfer to computer.

audacity isn't very nice to the sound, there is something going on that really makes the high freqs stick out in a bad way

i know what your talking about, but i havent found a better program that runs on linux

cool, that is the only prob with linux, the lack of sw for doing anything

yeah,right,that's why you're on an internet forum :P .
and,yessss,i am kidding,i know you were talking 'bout recordings.
i use digital,no money to afford a decent analog equipment,plus,i'm using pc software to do a big portion of my latest things,so tracks are already in a digital format,obviously.
