Thanks everyone for all of your helpful responses to my questions above.
I've been thinking about this a lot over the past few days.
For me, music is my escape from screens and computers. I'm finding myself dreading the process of learning any type of audio editing software or other similar stuff where I'm basically playing Photoshop, but with music.
Not that I couldn't do it, and I know I'll need to do SOME of it. But I want to minimize it where possible.
I'm finding myself really attracted to this device: https://www.amazon.com/gp/produc…
My process would basically be recording live tracks straight into this machine, and then doing some final editing/tweaking with GarageBand or something similar if necessary. I have a Blue Snowball mic I could use, but the recorder also has a couple of built-in mics too.
I plan on recording guitar/uke, vocals, keyboard, percussion, and various weird stuff like melodica, kalimba, etc...
Anyone have experience with something like that? It seems like I can produce acceptable results with it.
I'm basically starting from ground zero here. Not looking for amazing production quality. Rough is ok. I just want something better than totally shitty.
Thanks!
- nope, never used it. Have a Zoom R16 which I have just started using for podcasting.. same deal, only larger.. works welllautoflavour
- I had dp004, great fun. Just make sure to use the largest SD card possible as mixing tracks to export basically doubles the file size and fills card space quickfuturefood
