Following on from my Tascam DP_004 forum thread here's another early demo as I learn to use the machine. It's all done on my old Yamaha FG330 and the internal DP_004 mic's. Excuse the vocals - as mentioned elsewhere I'm more of a growler than singer, but I wanted to demo the mic's with a human voice as well as guitar. I really like the tone of the old Yamaha through these condenser mics - it sounds much brighter than when I'd recorded it previously (still hanker after a solid top one day though!!). I mixed the final version using Audacity - if you listen through headphones you'll hopefully hear three or four guitar parts all spread across the stereo spectrum. Anyway, in my humble opinion, the DP_004 is a superb piece of kit. Kind regards and happy new year! Derek

The vocals are just fine. John Prine has to be one of our greatest living songwriters. I hadn't heard this one, so thanks for introducing me to it. The guitar sounded really good, but I couldn't hear it as well as I'd have liked. Still, from my end, that's 3 minutes and 40 seconds (x2) well spent. Thanks for posting. Tom

First of all, the guitar parts are excellent. As a point of criticism I didn't like the delay on the voice. The singing is fine. And I'd like to hear more guitar in the mix.
I like the idea that you are doing the final mix in Audacity. The portastudios are great for capturing the sound, but their menus and small displays make it a pain to edit, eq, and mix.
Keep on posting. This is a great start.

Cheers guys! Your comments are very much appreciated.
I'll try and up the guitar volume in the next project - I was going for that "I can hardly hear it but I know there's something there" mix where three guitars all (hopefully) add up to a single whole, if that makes sense. The delay on the vocals...just trying different things to try and hide my deficiencies in that department. I actually don't know where the delay came from - which highlights my deficiencies in the Audacity department. I thought i was adding reverb and lo and behold there was a delay. Heh.
Kind regards,
Derek
