Thanks Guys. The newer version I am recording is going to be cleaned up quite a bit. The trick is going to be retaining the spirit of the original, and her insanity, without making it laboratory sterile. In many places in the original, I was just doing random stuff, no real method, which of course makes it seem more organic.
I dunno when I am going to get back on that, as right now I am beginning work on remixing all my other demos. Man, Amplitube is really amazing for spicing up my guitars, lol.
One thing that surprised me though, and I can understand why I did it, I had always somehow thought I was using 4 tracks for drums, when actually I only used the stereo left and right outputs. I did that because I only had 8 tracks available, and wanted to have 1 for bass, and at least 3 for guitar, which left me 2 for vocals.
The problem now is I cannot simply improve the snare, or the kick. The best I can do is use EQ to work with them, but of course that affects the entire kit.
Ah.....I just now figured out a way around that. Hmmmm.....since I always recorded on 2 tracks, what I can do is optimize one track for the kick, and the other for the snare.
Another thing I had forgotten, these Tascam units have a variable speed control on them, and in order to get the best possible quality, I cranked that mother to the fastest speed.
Lotsa little tricks I used in order to get every bit of quality I could out of it.
I have set a deadline of June to get a good CD's worth of songs remixed. 10-12 tracks oughta be cool.
I will be glad when I have done all I can do to these tracks with the modern technology I have. I want to get this out of my system and leave it behind me so I can get back to working on my album project.
