I toured with a well known songwriter for five years. We had a full crew, our own sound people, backline people etc. The guy had great guitars. He had the K&K pickup and internal microphone setup with a high end channel strip type preamp for the DI and the internal mic. I really love the K&K pickup...

TC Electronics Finalizer Express? Digital, but TC always made good sounding boxes with digital innards. And the "Express" version is going for under $500 all over the place. From memory, it also has a "Soft Clip..." section that seems like it might address the issue as described. That said, Reaper ...

Maybe something like this? Tascam also has a fancier option for about $900. https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/DN300Rmk2--denon-dn-300rmkii-solid-state-sd-usb-audio-recorder Uses mini SD cards...and / or USB to a computer for transfers.

Come to think of it...

Guess it depends on what T.O.M.B. member owl is setting out to do.

Past that?

I’m surprised nobody has said this — don’t print the reverb tracks to tape. Run the reverb on an aux on your mixer. You will hear it on playback, and you’ll hear it when you mix down. It’s been a long time since I used 8 track tape, but consider doing things like bouncing the rhythm section to a si...

As for "Most..." reverb being a stereo effect...

Depends on what someone intends on doing. I can think of some pretty notable recent instances of mono reverb.

Most reverb is a stereo effect, no? There is a L and a R output from the reverb box, meaning I will need two tracks on the tape recorder to preserve the stereo effect of the reverb. What I'm asking is whether most people just collapse the L and R outputs of the reverb into a mono signal, thus only ...

Past that...

If you don't like being stuck with just eight tracks?

Don't be.

... For instance, once I get going with my R2R, I plan to use an outboard stereo reverb on my voice and instruments. This means my voice and acoustic guitar, each processed through the reverb, will take up 4 tracks total. Now I'm already out of half of my tracks! ... So... Why would that be the case?

Uh, while they are Coke and Pepsi for a reason?

(Peavey 520/Beyderdynamic M88)

(Matter of fact, the M88 would be my bet to almost completely solve this problem...)

While I am really interested in if some of the workarounds will stick the landing... If this whole "Pick Noise..." thing really had me by the throat? Put some money into a moderately priced dynamic that is directional(Cardioid/Supercardioid...) Try it in the same position the vocal microphone is in ...

I think it's hilarious that a thread called "Recording Trends/Techniques that drive you nuts" has become a Mutt Lange thread. The guitars in the pre-chorus of "Bringin' On The Heartbreak" is one of the "All-Time Champ..." overdriven guitar recordings. That thing is evergreen. Never mind that I get ...

And I would gently remind you that your non-brilliant visionary made Back in Black. That Power Station room is so completely insane. Not hard to imagine drums sounding good in there. Glad I didn't have the job of putting the wood up though. J Hall (who some of you may remember) and I came up with a...

One fellow's very particular grumble... At some point, Glenn Danzig really took an interest in the "Nuts..."/"Bolts..." aspect of the "Recording..." component of his solo albums(seems like he even mentioned buying old Kustom amps in an interview...) Every single one of those records since then has b...

While it is not exactly "Bleed...", you could give something like this a try. In addition to adding some space, it might lend some uniformity if the elements recorded in different places are that big of an issue.
