I just finished my first project on the DP32sd and thanks to all the great people on this site that have helped to keep me sane during the process... A especial shout out to Dr. Phil... I don’t know what so many of us would do without his sage advice..... I started messing around with multi-track recording, probably a couple of decades ago with the TASCAM minidisc 564... Let me back up, I have been playing at the guitar since I was 12 years old.. The operative phrase is “playing at the guitar”. I didn’t get serious about my instrument until about 15 or 20 years ago.. It was at that time I purchased the 564.. I made a few recordings and then the thing went into the closet.. Fast forward about 10 years and by this time I hade been a church musician, played bass in a jazz trio and started my passion for the Blues... This is when I bought my BR-800. I used it to help create backing tracks that I loaded onto my RC-300 so that I could be a one man band. I’ve been playing at open air markets along the Front Range of Colorado for the better part of the last ten years. I started using Audacity to edit my backing tracks so that I could break the songs down into Intro, Verse, Chorus, and Outro... and then load them onto the RC-300.. It worked pretty well... With my partner in crime, Joe, on the harmonica, we started to develop a bit of a following.. The two of us could make a lot of noise.. I retired from my day job as a structural engineer about a year and a half ago. Joe and I had great plans for the future, and then the pandemic hit... We found ourselves home bound ever since.. It was at this point in time that I decided that I would try and take my playing and recording to the next level... After all I wasn’t going anywhere, and I had all the time in the world... This is when I thought I would redo my small home studio.. I really am not a fan of DAW’s, so I decided to retire the BR-800 and move back into the TASCAM world, and thus the DP32sd, I also thought that I might upgrade from Audacity to Reaper... Well here I am, hoping that I can get out and start playing live again, and possibly creating an album of our tunes that we can sell at our gigs... Thanks again everyone for helping me along the way...
