I just like to think so.ĭownload > Download Tqi top qualifier manual meat. The vocals are what make the song, and you can always hide any unwanted instrument noise behind distortion or another track. User review from Oliviercool about Tascam Portastudio 424: User review from Oliviercool about Tascam Portastudio 424. I'm on a budget, but I spring for a great mic before I go out of my way to hunt down a great compressor. And I can't stress how much a high quality mic will really affect the vocal tracks. This will really help clean up the vocal tracks. I haven't gotten around to recording vocals on it yet however, but I would suggest purchasing a D'esser (clears up the S's and the P's in the vocals). I prefer running everything through a compressor and sound gate, just to clean up the tracks. It records the bass nicely, depending on how you run into it. He is used to recording the rhythm track himself, since he is a better guitar player than the lead singer, and then he'll simply put together his solo and leads on a seperate track.

The only problem is our lead guitarist is a perfectionist, and his solos are complicated. We are a 4 piece, drums, rhythm, lead and bass. Mind you, the guy sucked, and we didn't have to pay for it. I just feel it could be a little better in quality.I have a Tascam 4 track, and to be quite honest, my band and I have recorded cleaner songs on that than on the demo we made in a studio. I usually take time to read reviews on products before I buy them. This is my first bad review of a product. But this unit just didn't satisfy my need. Tascam has been around along time, and have been a asset to the home recording people. The knobs feel very weak as well as the sliders. Seems the revised MK 424III has had some changes including external power source, and the inputs have been put on the back of the unit intead of on top. I bought this because it was recommended by others who had the MK 424II. Musicians Friend customer service is very good about returns, I'll give them a 10. I decided to send the unit back for a refund. The knobs and sliders feel cheap, and so does the 1/4' inputs. My first recordings were rough, but the sound quality wasn't what I was expecting. It took a little time to understand how the unit works. The over all operation of the unit is pretty easy.

I am new to the recording scene, and I wanted something simple to use, that would give me some nice demo type recordings. I purchased this unit from Musicians Friend (great company by the way)for $329.00.
