Ok, hopefully this will work. I still have a lot to learn so I'll apologize in advance for all the problems. At any rate here you go, CB on vocals and Shiner on the 12 string.

the sound needs to be worked on, but I am impressed with the vocals and guitar. Now is that just Shiner on guitar and CB on vocals or are both of you playing guitar?
Also, I remember when the Beatles first came out people would comment that when they sang they had no British accent. I guess the same holds true for the Texas accent.

Yeah, you'll have to crank it up Warren. From what I've been able to tell there is a problem with the Tascam when you mic into it directly. Some of the guys on the Tascam forum use mic pre-amps to solve the problem, but for now that's the best I can do.

I think he's bs'ing us. I think it was Shiner singing and CB playing guitar. You should have a REAL enjoyable visit if you ever make that visit to Waco - the bed being mic'd is starting to get a little clearer.Originally Posted by warren0728

Strummy, that's me on the 12 string and CB on vocals with a little bit of reverb.
Warren, from what I've been able to tell the specs are lacking when it comes to input on the DP-01 series, thus the low volume. I had everything cranked up almost to max when I recorded and mastered it. I might be able to correct that flaw with Audacity, but since tonight was the first night I used the program I don't know. If that doesn't work, looks like Shiner will be getting a couple of mic pre-amphs for Christmas.

Thanks Warren! And I loves it when the little lady sings to me.
Sorry Strummy, almost forgot. The group is Garbage, and the name of the song is "You Look So Fine".

Sorry for taking a while...I listened to you guys's tune, and sent e-mails and pms...meanwhile, here's the answer to your low-volume/level problem with the mic and the Tascam...Originally Posted by luvmyshiner
There's nothing wrong with the machine...it's just a typically poorly written (for hobbyists) manual (I downloaded it and checked things out) that assumes hobbyists would know about things like impedance-matching of line-level signals to get strong enough gain....
EDIT: The XLR inputs of the Tascam should work fine for condenser mics, using the onboard 48V phantom power. But for low impedance (Lo-z) Dynamic mics like an SM58 or 57, they just won't cut the mustard. That's not what they're intended for. The 1/4" input jacks, on the other hand, are for guitars and hi-impedance line level signals...like a hi-impedance dynamic mic. So you have to 'convert' the SM58 to work with the 1/4" inputs.
I just copied this from a pm I just sent ya...
OK, now my feeble ol' head 'members....using my SM-58 with a Teac/Tascam cassette machine, and my old Yamaha Cassette 4-track, that only has 1/4" inputs, you NEED one of these to convert the Low Impedance ('Lo-Z') balanced signal of the SM58 (with it's XLR cable to a High Impedance (Hi-Z) unbalanced signal with a 1/4" plug.
They're $20 but you need one for each Lo-Z mic you'd use at once. You don't need any mixers or preamps if you get one (or 2) of these.
Line-Matching Transformer
I got mine 25 years ago at Radio Shack(Archer Part #274-016) and it was still almost 20 bucks then...If you're in a hurry and have a Shack in Waco, check it out. otherwise, order it from Sweetwater (no tax, no shipping, but it will take 4 days.)
This way, you'll plug the SM58 directly into the 1/4" input in the front of your DP01, and then turn up the Input Trim knob to get a good strong gain....with the machine in Record/Pause mode to set levels, your Input/track fader first set at the 'unity gain' mark (do you know what I mean there....heavy white lines about 75-80%% of the way to the top?)

Wow! Good job!
The volume levels were a little uneven but I too love that raw non-mastered sound.
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009
Well guys once again I say that was a fantastic job. I guess knowing and watching the two of you since you first began in the art of making music makes this recording a little more special to me.
CB you can now throw that self-consciousness out the window cause your through with it and this recording just proved your DAD was wrong. Great job girl, look out PEARL.
Shiner, you know, noone ever comments much on what or how your doing because you are good at keeping things hid (must be your lawyer experience) but when you first started I got a glimpse of your nervousness also and I sensed a little bit of that nervousness before the recording started. You did good man! You can play in my band any ole time but bring your own shiner. Great job both of you.
