This isn't my first time recording. Recording onto a sixteen track with a crappy mic sounds awful, and unless you DI everything (which sounds awful) you get background noise and have to stop the recording every time a bus goes by. Home recordings sound bad. I'm not trying to do a garage recording, I'm doing a professional quality recording in order to sell it.
This would be a good time to mention that the prices I sent you are for commercial-quality pressing and packaging. Basically go in to HMV and pick up a chart album, that is what you will get for those prices. Minus the terrible, shit chart music.
Well, I say that, I haven't heard what you sound like yet (PM myspace link plz).
Look you people may think that you can not get good quality recordings off of a 16 track, but you can.
You just need to do it right, you need to buy top quality equipment first off, then you would need to make sure that the place you are recording at is properly fitted to be recorded in.
You would need to make sure that you are in a sound proof room when recording, and this can easily be done at home, you can turn any walk in closet into a recording booth to lay down vocal tracks. All you would have to do is get the said closet soundproofed, which is fairly easy to do. You would also want to soundproof the other room as well, where the instruments would be recorded at.
If you buy a proper 16 track or 8 track or even a 32 track you should not have any trouble with quality of sound, you just need to be willing to spend a good chunk of change on the said product.
That is the easy part, the hard part is sounding good, but if you have your own home studio you won't have to fret, it isn't like you would be on a time limit or anything, you could take your time to perfect your sound and make a class a album.
Plus with these new high end 16 tracks they have these days they link up to your computer and you can burn your cds to sell, and I believe they cell a certain hardware that allows you to imprint your album design onto your cd, and it will look professional.
All it takes is a little time and effort and some money.
You're a fucking moron.
HE IS TAKING CHARITY so that he can get a few songs recorded well and sell them. He doesn't have the scratch to soundproof fucking closets and shit.
I am not saying that he should do that, although I do think he should go the 16 track route, but all I am saying is that it is perfectly within reach for anyone to make a quality recording on a 16 track.
so your retard comments are completely unrelated to the conversation we're having. Fine then.

Yeah, it's going to cost Tube £6000 to hire out a studio or...probably a lot more to turn his living room into a professional studio.
This concept seems pretty dumb. I was talking about this with my boss the other night. He mods a audio tech forum and they keep getting people wanting to set up pro-quality home studios for $800. It's just not possible. Also:

That, to me, sounds like it will be digitally printing the art onto the CD, which looks shit. The ink runs and looks like you printing it with a potato stamp. Unless someone has invented a CD drive that also houses a five colour screen printer it's never going to look as good as getting it done a t a professional press.
Oh Tube! Tube! I just remembered that I've got one of those old Talkboy's from Home Alone 2 with my old toys! You could borrow that for free if you like.
Szech, is there a site somewhere I can look at what you offer and get an idea for prices? Basically I'm not sure how fancy or cheap we might want to be when getting our CD duplicated next year, but I'm thinking it'd be nice to step things up from what we've already used (slimline jewel case, 4-side colour inlay).
Also yes, you can do a good job with a 16-track recorder in your home, if you're willing to invest a lot of money in setting up a home studio and buying the equipment to properly record, mix and edit your music, and also the time and money needed to learn these skills for yourself to be able to do them to a professional level.
Or you could probably spend about the same amount and let someone else do it, like, say, at a studio.
We don't have listed prices on CDs due to the variety of combinations, but I'll PM the prices I sent to Tube to give you an idea of ballpark prices. They're basically prices for your standard album jewel case with all the printed parts and CD mastering and duplication. If you fancy something more custom like a fold-out cardboard cover then, well, we can get prices on pretty much anything you can imagine so long as you tell me what you're imagining.
val hates vowels and dutifully omits them every few words.
it's pretty annoying
I play too much WoW. My grammar and punctuation suffer horribly because of this, unless I'm really concentrating on what I'm typing. I also am a huge fan of horribly long run on sentences.

Long sentences are fine as long as the words are readable. And it's possible to play MMOs and talk in complete sentences. You're out of excuses, pal.

I think it's okay. People usually laugh when they're apologising to me.
:x
You know it. Man I was so excited!
I got this when I asked out a girl for the second time ever
I was all "Oh god you have got to be kidding me, they said this doesn't actually happen"
