Ok, a little (recording) history then
Let me see....I started writing little ditties in 1979 and have been recording since then. First on analog tape of course. I was hooked, played (drums, bass, guitars, sometimes synths, vocals) on primitive, cheap instruments most of the time and recorded my ass off! Here are a few machines I've hassled with (note: I am a musician , no technical chef):
 |
| I recorded mostly improvised stories, sometimes filled in the silences with jokes and dirty sounds |
 |
| Remember the SOS function? Well, overdubbing with hiss was a non plus. |
 |
| More tracks, more overdubbing, less hiss, still hiss on the tape |
A 4-track Tascam did the trick for 43(!) tapes till 1998, followed by the digital/ virtual recording with a firewire and a cd burner. Since 1998 I've recorded 22 albums and 15 of them you can stream on www.

| Digital, pre-amps, firewire, no hiss! |
My present setup?
I have used the digidesign 003 since 2011 with Pro Tools and now as I've bought the Thunderbolt Apollo Twin Quad and a very heavy game laptop, so I'm in the middle of switching stuff. It gets smaller by the day!
