The trick is to set it so that the tape is running at the fastest speed possible and do not be afraid to make the meters go up into the red when you are recording.</font> Hi Ronan! The Home Recording Boot Camp - I see this everywhere! I think it posts to Music Highway or one of my girl groups Indiegrrls or GoGirls maybe... I've thought about this... money money always money stuff trips up the plans.. anyway... ok running the tape fast I have heard of that but going right into the red - you have no idea how stressful it is for me to watch that damn light to try to make sure it does not go into the red - I have kinda a strong voice but I like to be up on the mic because u get the vocal tones and variances that just do not come through when u back off the mic but the red the red the red.. recording is a NIGHTMARE - I've had people there just to watch the damn light but then I'm stressing out watching the people watching the light. Really I just want to get the damn performance down without all the worry worry worry. Plus I really want to be able to do it alone, so I'm free to experiment, etc. without everyone getting bored or 'it's fine it's FINE' and getting testy then I start worrying about hurrying up and... well I guess I'm a loner- which goes along with being able to be prolific when u do your own recording with a relatively simple system like the cassette deck. I have never ever tried to just relax and be 'in the red' you know I think I will give that a try - this could solve a lot! Now I'm all curious as to what that would sound like... hmmmm... maybe I should give that home recording boot camp another look... thx for the tips!
