Lee Knight Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Can anyone suggest a good way to inexpensively, remotely record in stereo, while being able to play back at least one other track for a guide... digitally? 44.1kHz, 24bit. My wife is opening her own hair salon and her partner is putting a great sounding, 50 yer old baby grand in there. I'd love to bring a couple of mics and pres, and a little recorder to do piano overdubs there. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeronyne Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 There's a brand new Roland (Edirol) unit that's getting a lot of press. The R4 "For instance" is not proof. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything cheaper though? I'm guessing it goes for a bit of coin. Maybe an old 4 track reel to reel? Would there be drift issues due to it being analog? The motor, etc.?

theblue1 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 The R4 looks pretty cool -- and while it records 4 simultaneous channels -- I didn't see anything on the product sheet about synchronized overdubs. (Although that would surely be missing a bet ant it's hard to believe it wouldn't have it.) bookmark these: news.google.com | m-w dictionary | wikipedia encyclopedia | Columbia Encyclopedia TK Major / one blue nine | myspace.com/onebluenine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee Knight Posted May 2, 2005 Author Share Posted May 2, 2005 I don't need it syncronized necessarily. I can fly in stuff without any problems. The goal would be to get it back into Pro Tools. So really, what I need is a 4 track recorder. Or an 8 track. What was the deal with those Pac Rat 24bit retrofits for ADAT's? Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

where02190 Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 What do you consier inexpensive? For under $500 you can get either an M-box or a Mackie Spike. I wouldn't want to record a nice piano with anything of lower quality personally. Option two, find someone locally with an M-box or Spike to do your recording. Hope this is helpful.
