So I have done a bit of research on my new-to-me dp-24 (not sd) and I think I am ready to record one of my original tunes. I am hoping y’all can give me some pointers on the best way to use effects (either internal or external) when recording acoustic guitar and vocals using one condenser mic (AT 4033a). I will be recording guitar and vocals at the same time than overdubbing harmony vocals and harmonica. I am shooting for a somewhat raw, classic sound...think early, classic Dylan. I have an external effects unit (Alesis Midiverb 4) at my disposal if needed.
For example, which is the best Dynamic effect to use while recording (compressor??). Should I use use reverb at the mastering stage or by using a Send effect? Do you recommend using the noise suppressor within the guitar effect block? To free up the internal effects, should I use the external effects unit to add maybe reverb while recording.
Sorry for the many questions but I am hoping someone with more experience with these machines can tell me their “process” so that I can limit some trial and error.
Thanks.
