The head liner says it all. oops -addicting
Yeah, like I mentioned in another thread, I had to choose between playing and recording. I chose playing though I still do simple recording from time to time. It's not a hobby its a career!Right
I'm spending more time on recording & mixing then I do playing
HUMMM---I think you just covered my problem. I also think my Zoom R-24 is at it's last rodeo---Channels 2 & 3 don't work anymore---distractions of poor recording techniques.
Only one thing for it Dave...... a whole new Moto style studio, full of new gear. Just tell the wife you have my permission.FRUSTRATING to say the least----(and discouraging)---oh well
I got a better, cheaper idea----A new Cassette recorder. (Old school). Everything on one take live. If no one likes it OH WELL.. I probably would not sound any worse than after 9 hours trying to sound good. But it is a challenge.

Yeah; your right Capn.--( not on the beer thing 3-4 a day at max). I think I'll get that Zoom-R16 that is on Sweetwater $399--they are virtually the same as the R-24 with 8 less channels-- I don't use very many channels. "SATISFIED" had the most channels I ever used. 7 I'll do it today-that way it will get here before Sharon gets back from North Carolina-----she will never know the difference. I am going to take the P.A. head back today and exchange it for another one. That fan is annoying.
Shock Horror!!!!!!!I'll do it today-that way it will get here before Sharon gets back from North Carolina
I already pulled the trigger on the R-16. It will reduce my re--education. I am getting familiar with it--I've had it 4 years--so I have made it to the 4th grade. No sense going back to kindergarten.I gotta tell ya, for $399 I'd jump on that TASCAM...........that's a real nice setup.
Dave,
Bite the bullet and just pick up a new Zoom.
That will minimize your learning curve and get you back up and running with new gear.
They make some pretty nice stuff for not a lot of $$.
Although you've got a R24...how many channels do you really need? Look at the Zoom R8 for $299
If you want more and maybe even a mixer for live stuff, look at the Zoom LiveTrack L-12 for $499.
Cut back on beer for a month or two and you'll have all the $ you'll need.

One more piece of gear:..........I love the way this thing looks.
They are phasing these out and most places are offering them at a discount price.
Well built, top notch piece of gear with a beautiful color screen and built in CD burner.
Here's a Demo unit for $399

If I had not made the leap into computer based recording, I'd jump on that DP 24.My DP-24 is fantastic for recording a band live. It's WAY overkill for recording myself just playing lessons.
