Topic: need help with taping band in basement

[rabhan]

hrmm, well, if i had two v3s, would the clocks be identical? i only know of one other v3 in richmond..........

[Lee]

The only way to be certain is to have the V3 be the master word clock and run a line to an ad1k or other device capable of locking on to an external word clock.  

Make any sense?

[rabhan]

and guess what, i used to own an ad1k, varmit! hehe    


well, with my current toys, i think my options are either matrix on the fly with the ua5 or run the two different signals and try to mix them on the pc later.....

[Lee]

again, I'd say run two separate decks... it's much easier to screw up a matrix-on-the-fly.

at least with two separate recording chains you're (almost) guaranteed to get something

[rabhan]

ok, so run the hypers XY90 > v3 > laptop and then board(guitars, amps, vocals) > ua5 > d8 ?

[Lee]

ok, so run the hypers XY90 > v3 > laptop and then board(guitars, amps, vocals) > ua5 > d8 ?

That's what I'd do

[rabhan]

everything on AC power, YEEEHAAAAW!!!!!

i think this is a grand idea...since the drums won't be in the board mix at all you may want to position your mics in the room where they can pick up the drums a bit better....another suggestion would be to find some mics to borrow and mic the drum kit and put it through the board.  maybe these guys know other people in bands that have a drum mic kit?  i know our drummer has them, but he's sort of a gear slut himself!

definitely matrix after the fact, that way you don't have to worry about any timing delay effects showing up on the master recording.

[rabhan]

they said that the drums will be in the corner by the wall where the amps will be, i just dont want the drums to be too heavy in one channel and the amps too heavy in the other, although it would be cool to listen back to it and feel like you are in that room. what about putting the keys and lead on one side and the bass on the other side of the drum kit?

I know a producer in atlanta and if you send me the tapes, he said he would have them professionally mixed for me (whatever I send him, he can do HD, DAT, ADAT, CD........) let me know and ill be glad to hook it up

[rabhan]

wow, thats too cool of both of you! i will let you know if i have any problems. my main concern is just collecting the data, not mixing it later. i think the hardest part will be the recording.....

[jpschust]

jon do you have the possability of doing a multiple mic mix?

[rabhan]

well, unless i had another set of km100s or someone could let me borrow their mics/rig, hrmmm, .............paging joe w paging joe w........


150s (XY-90d0cm) > V3(24bit) > laptop  & 603s (DIN-90d20cm) > WUA5 > D8
                            analog from V3 and analog from WUA5 > SUA5 > D8

three tapes:
1.  150s (XY-90d0cm) > V3(24bit) > laptop
2.  603s (DIN-90d20cm) > Wmod UA5 > D8
3.  analog from V3 and analog from Wmod UA5 > Dmod UA5 > D8

how about that.......?

[Joe w.]

eureka!

[Lee]

That's a whole helluva lot of adaptors/cables, but it just might work!
