  how would you describe the eq and overall sound difference between the allen heath and the tascam?

• 
  @wehappyfewmusic31 минут бұрын

  It’s pretty subtle but the Allen and Heath eq is a bit cleaner sounding and the 688 is a touch warmer.

  I find WS-X1 very counter-intuitive... Can you direct me how can I PAN L/R track at playback through headhonbes? I mean I have stero drum machine 1-2 channels, bass on 3rd and stereo synth 4-5 ch. - I record one by one selecting or de-selecting DIRECT buttons (there's no other way, right?), but when they all play back, they're all in mono. That's odd.

  This is fantastic. And although I really admire the sonic quality you've achieved here, it also helps underscore one of the major truisms in the world of recording: there's no substitute for having a good song to record! Your tunes are fun to listen to and make me want to go record stuff!
