I have been using an Alesis HD24 hard disc recorder with great success since 2009. Its more than you are asking for with 24 tracks, but they can be had for little money these days. I recently bought a backup unit in excellent condition with an SKB 4U case for $150.00. I do location live recording ex...

High pass at 40hz or so, followed by really fast compression @ 4 to1 has worked for me in the past. You can also find the frequency of the click & notch a lot of it out.

I used to believe that paper in oil caps did not go bad. My Klipsch cornerhorns had these type caps & after 40 years, they were definately bad. As a result the speakers sounded harsh & spitty, very fatiguing to listen to. I did a re-cap of the crossovers & the cornerhorns are now singing sweetly. Yo...

Worst Movie About Recording Studio(s)?

What, in your opinion is the worst movie that involves a recording studio? There was a real stinker a few years ago about a ghost who exacted revenge in a recording studio. The "studio" was extremely laughable, consisting of an SM58 and a Peavey PA head (the square box variety) which was lying on it...

Did anyone ever hack one to access recordings as a file rather than in real time? That was the only drawback that I could find. I did a lot of live line level board recordings in one of the clubs I mix at. I absolutely loved what it did to marry the kick & bass. Mine was a small Sony with line or op...
