Hey guys. Well its that time, time to record the live mix of my band (with me on the V's).
I have the V's using a TD-10 and four stereo outputs 1)snare + HH 2)toms 3)cymbals and 4) kick, all using an 8 channel snake going to my mackie vlz-1402 mixer. my drums are mixed with two live drum mics, one vocal, 2 guitars, and a bass.
Then, from the tape out, i have a line going into the back of my 'consumer electronic' component tape deck. the quality is amazingly good.
*****
Now heres the question: what type of tape should i use, one long enough for me to put in at the beginning of the show, flip over to the b-side towards the end of that side inbetween a song, and change to a new tape if i need to?
*****
What brand, specs, does length matter?
Another point is that many of these recordings will be transfered over later to my computer by putting the tape into my walkman, and taking the headphone out into the mic jack on the back of my computer, and record hard disked copies onto Sound Forge.
So is there a better way of transferring from tape to computer so i can add effects and edit the tracks, and produce them in mass amounts? A cd-recorder? that would get rid of most of the tape hiss, right?
Now if all this would work out, would anyone by any chance have a recorder they wouldn't mind selling me? I'm kinda on a budget. so if so, let me know.
thanks guys for your help!!
