QUOTE Or do you believe Mr T when he says you can't produce reasonable album quality with a 'low' budget? Hum...sounds like a shortcut to me my friend... Did you read the original post and the answer I gave?... The question was Can you get the same quality with a MBox or a Digi001 as you could with a 2inches tape recorder... Have you ever been using a 2 in ches tape recorder?...This sure was a pain in the ass to use, but I'm still positive...the sound was better than the sound provided by the 001! To close the subject, as far as I'm concerned, YES you can get"reasonnable album quality"with a low budget...if you're doing techno or rap (or any music based on samples or synthetic sounds) but if, like me, you're putting together songs that involve real drums, bass, guitar, percussion, some chords and orchestral stuffs and singing, I think you should be aware (I know I am) that using the 001 is great to make (more than) decent demos (just wait you hear mine...some people think it was produced in a real studio) but when it comes to producing a record that's meant to be sold to the public... I want some good equipment, some room (how am I supposed to record huge drums using many mics in my small studio?!!...) , a real music engineer (which I know I ain't...at least not as much as a guy who's been working in music for the last 20 years non stop...)and real musicians (samples are fine but nowhere near the real thing!). That's what I was trying to say, before we got carried away and went really OT...which doesn't really matter since the original poster is gone! I think he didn't even read the very first replies we gave him. We are beating a dead horse here... I'm off. -------------------- |
