buddy learning to play TIME acoustic guitar
Buddy,
The audio quality was excellent to my ears. Really nice playing for only two days of work on this. I'm sure in two more days it will be spectacular. I do have a question though. I understand that you recorded both the guitar part and the vocals in one trace. I believe that is what you said. To me the vocal tract was outstanding. Apart from having a very good voice I noticed, again to me, that there seemed to be a tiny bit of echo on the vocals that sounded great and is an effect that I am trying to do myself as I'm thinking that it may mask and or enhance my poor voice. Can you clarify what, if anything, you may have done on the vocal track? I'm really chasing that sound.
Also from the perspective of trying to line up the audio track and the video you may want to try and use a movie making program that will show you the audio in a visual form. For instance I usually record my guitar with a mic and port it into audacity. Once I save it in audacity I'll send that audio file and the video clip (with the sound from the camera) to my movie making program, Adobe Premiere Elements 8. In PE8 I first put in the video and show it in time line format. Then I put in the audio track under. From here I can see both of the audio graphs (peaks and valleys). I then line them up and then remove the video's audio track (the one from the camera) which leaves the final project synced. I'm not sure if I explained this correctly but I hope it helps. Great job on this song!!!!

MArkM,
With the Tascam DP-008 you can record a number of two tracts at the same time and then keep doing this until you get up to 8 tracks recorded. What I did on the vocal and the guitar was added a bit of reverb to them when I mixed the master tract. It is pretty easy to do on this particular recorder/mixer.
THanks for the tips on the video sincing as well.
