I'm going to break down my mix on the Tascam 388. I listened to my subscribers, and made music according to their suggestions! I produced Hip Hop, Neo Soul, Analog Music on reel to reel tape exactly according to subscriber specifications. Recorded on tape! You spoke and I listened!

Alright well I had the best of intentions. I definitely wanted to make the music that people wanted to hear, but turns out that's hard. I guess it kinda has a neo soul vibe, i just think the rhythm section could be better. Maybe a drum machine next time? I didn't even use the casio synth, what the heck. I got too wrapped up in spectral analysis of an tape eq'd cymbal.
But hey we got to hear this floor tom kick in action, in a song. I think people were pretty divided over it. Some liked it, some hated, most said I used too much muting. I actually like a lot of muting. I honestly still haven't gotten close the sound I'm looking for. I'm gonna try a different better, different mic, different drum, different room, different drummer, different cable computer, and see if that fixes it.

The "Not following my assignment" thing happens to me constantly. When I have a particular style/idea in mind and I want to execute it, I always end up with something completely different. But that's the beauty of it I think. I let the song guide me and take me where it wants to be. I like where this song took you and itself.

My first experience in music production was working in a studio that was just doing the transition to digital (this was way back in 1998ish). I almost lost my marbles with the analog gear with the exact same issues you were facing. We used a ton of expanders and whatnot to artificially stretch the range but you can only go so far. Once it started to move into digital, it just fealt so freeing, but we were having a lot of issues with the AD/DA blocks and the computers struggling to keep up etc. When I left, I woved to never work with analog gear again, but I still do come back to it even today. :D

I read a quote from Bob Ohlsson of Motown recently that he did several different mixdowns and was reall intuitive with the automation, doing things on the fly he couldnt recreate and then cut and spliced the best parts of the mixes together. He said he still does this straight into protools. He said Motown had the first automation desk, but they actually had it removed from the desk once in a service, because they preferred the method above. Now he just records his mixes as playlists stright into protools and then comps the best bits together and says its still quicker than adding automation after the fact. Anyways, thought you might find this information useful!

@Ryan_Poff 2 года назад

@@travisraab so you take the original signal from the "access" send on that machine (looks like thats what your insert is called) and record that into your daw, or one of your portable studios. So that's your signal with no latency. Then that signal should still be going to tape on the Tascam 388. The time it takes to go from the record head to the play head creates a delay. The slower tape speed ips you use the longer the delay. Then you capture the stereo out after tape. Send that to your Daw or portastudio. Blend the tape signal to taste. Works with vocals to. That's how they got the John Lennon double tracks.

@travisraab 2 года назад

@@Ryan_Poff you mean i record a delayed track back onto another track?

@Ryan_Poff 2 года назад

@@travisraab I think that would cause a nasty feedback. No you would have to record onto another tape machine or into your daw. I have an idea. How about use your new portastudio. Capture your guitar the way you normally would either going direct in, or amping it up on the portastudio. Then, use the aux on the Portastudio sending to the tascam. Then send the out of the tascam after it hits the tape back into your portastudio through the aux return. Then you can use the aux fader knob on the portastudio to control the delay. Or you could bring it back in on a whole other channel that way you can use eq, and pan it, etc. So in a sense your just using the tascam as a big a** guitar pedal, or piece of outboard gear.

Hey thanks Chris 😁

@BCWalet 2 года назад

maybe next time you should make song with viewers, for the example you make one path of instrument and the rest of it subscribers, or just give us your recorded sound path and see some remix and remasters, it coudl be intresting

@travisraab 2 года назад

whoa ! i really like that idea bcwalet. not just saying that. great suggestion

@yassinrahmouni5698 2 года назад

man what's up with your the face , every time you pickup an instrument hhhh. i found a tascam 106 for sale do you think worth investing . thanks for the videos man

@travisraab 2 года назад

i got a bad case of bass face yassin. i never messed with a 106. but i guess if you can rank mount it, it might be efficient and might generate some white noise for you

@molekulaTV 2 года назад

Your instruments all sound big. Your chords and ideas are big. I mean it. I think your snare could be shorter to give space for them.

@travisraab 2 года назад

you're too kind! i agree, the snare messed up the song

Maybe use both heads on the kick and make sure you move the mic away from the batter head a bit? sounds too attacky as oppose to an actual kick drum tone

@travisraab 2 года назад

that's a good idea Jake! I'll try that

@@travisraab you could also try use a softer beater? Depends on what sound you actually want i guess!

how about something purely digital, uptempo and aggressive

sounds cool! what genre?

@danielmcfarlane6129 2 года назад

What if you went the other way and tried to make it as digital as possible 🤔

@travisraab 2 года назад

thank you! i actually want to do that. it's INSANE that we keep trying to make something that isn't just like this kick drum. why am i trying to make it something that it isnt? why not embrace what I have. i was seriously planning on making a video like that. good thinking Daniel!

@danielmcfarlane6129 2 года назад

@@travisraab it really is insane. Digital is the answer to all the issues with analogue. If you do the digital video you could even got to extremes and record everything in 8 bit...maybe that's too far though 😅

@scottbaxendale323 2 года назад

Oh snap, remixing a tune three times is such drudgery! I can’t think of a single track that didn’t get mixed a dozen times before it was done in my world.

Great Mix ! Definitely sounding warm and analogue. Just one suggestion... don't hard pan everything otherwise it sounds hollow.

@Tandle779 2 года назад

headsup this channel is going to the moon p.s. please stop putting yourself down after doing things with good technique like eqing the kick, you either look like you're insecure and don't know anything or you look like a narcissist who really thinks they are great at everything and makes up for it with self deprecation (narcissists DO this)... that goes for every artist here.

@travisraab 2 года назад

is it possible to be both? you are def right with your diagnosis lol. regarding the channel, thank you! that would be awesome. these vids are my hobby :)

@Tandle779 2 года назад

@@travisraab Just putting some thoughts out there. I am a recovering self-doubter. I just think if you are putting a video together with all your experience and craftsmanship, give the audience faith that you are excited about what you are doing. Your videos are awesome so maybe using a different tone in your edits that doesn't put you down would probably give your channel the kind of confidence that takes it the extra mile. At least that's what I'd like to see 🙂
