Making Analog dub

Post by spears tears » Thu Mar 13, 2003 8:15 pm

Hello, <BR> Great site! <BR> <BR>Ive been thinking about getting into recording and making dub for a while now, i play guitar and recently was lent a bass. I would have to get together a drummer and perhaps a keys player. Id like to keep all the recording process analog, so my first purchase i think will be a Revox A77 7&15 ips 2 track. I will use this for final mix down and also for bouncing tracks with. <BR>Just come armed with a few questions on processes and recomendations of equiptment. <BR>Firstly, as far as i can see all efx added, must be done so either, while recording the instrument to the 8 track, or while mixing it down/to bounce it. In either case 'live'. <BR>I cant work out how much dub was actually 'dubbed' over the rythem track. Is/was this an important element. In terms of analog, i can only see that by recording off small sections of eg. a guitar riff, from the 8 track to the 2 track. Then once ive bounced the original 8 track recording, record back the guitar riff on to the 2nd sterio track, this would give me more flexability in positioning and effecting small elements. <BR>Can anyone recomend a classic good quality mixing desk, what features should i look for. I will also get an 8 track but im not sure which make, there dosent seem to many around here in England, i dont know about effects yet either. <BR> <BR>I guess it will take mabey a few years to get fully up an running, but i feel it will be worth it. <BR> <BR>Any answers, corrections, expereinces....on these subjects would be greatly appreciated. <BR> <BR>Best regards.

Thanks KoCha, yes ive read a few of alephs posts, he seems to be 100% analog. <BR>I forgot to mention one more question. In analog, how would i eg. put reverb on just a snaire drop and not effect the bass drum or hi-hat. I dont know if i could just cut in the reverb and take it out and not affect the hi-hat. Maby i would have to mike up the snaire seperatly and put it on its owne track. Or could it be done by using EQ. <BR>Sorry im asking another question before anyone has the time to answer my first. <BR> <BR>Best regards, Spears ;?&#41;

Hi, <BR>it can be done with eq if your drum is recorded in 1 track &#40;some mixer have insert jack or you can put it after the recorder and before the mixer&#41;.. but from my own experience don't limite you with track.. use at less two track to separate snare and hh/kick. I have down all my song with 4 track and sending snare with kick and hh, but now for my last song i use all the 8 track of my recorder and after training i've got same sensation &#40;but i continue move the fader in tempo for sending to reverb ;-&#41; more dynamics&#41;. <BR> <BR>You can't use an eq on the aux-send before reverb because you go trouble other track sended to reverb... <BR> <BR>Go Dub'wise ! <BR> <BR>Jah Bless, <BR>KoCha <BR>www.Almighty-Dub.com

Do you know that u can record in real"over dub" <BR>with an analog rec. <BR>Put a paper beetween the tape and ERASE head <BR>you will record without erasing what was recorded before&#40;note:make a good balance you've got only one chance!&#41; <BR>If your drums is in 2tracks or only one you should <BR>have a filter &#40;bandpass 400>centerhz>1000 for snare rev,an analog one off course!!&#40;;-&#41;&#41;before your reverb it will be better than an eq,try with a wahwah&#40;works sometimes&#41; if you don't have a filter
