ASR noodles/what do i use for recording
2004-08-29 by darkstr1746@comcast.net
I too started out with a sixteen track reel to reel. Then went to a Akai 8 track hard disk along with it's companion 4 track. For the last few years i've been useing Alesis XT-20s (2) with a Spirit Ghost LE desk (32x8).. not the most convenient setup to be sure and a downright pain in the rear when trying to assemble bits and pieces...... so i don't. I stick with this old school approach 'cause it's what i'm comfortable with. I just was never able to get behind,let alone understand a O2R which would be the logical choice.It was too much like a computer. As one might guess, i'm somewhat of a Luddite when it comes to this area. I do look upon my more gifted, tech savy friends with total envy and usualy must enlist outside skills when editing down a final mix.I feel so lame. Once again i'm toying with the idea of a PT OO2 LE but i get cold sweats just thinking about having to deal with menus and subroutines that seem to appear and disappear at the push of the wrong button..... something i'm famous for. I also get easily frustrated by error messages with no attendent explanation for whats going on. I have been checking out stand alone turnkey systems like those offered by Carillon Audio Systems where the systems seemed to be optimized for one purpose only. I'm tempted but i always fall victim to the thought of.. ".. now this panel/module would be a fine addition...." Hahaha. .....It never ends
kind regards
