Free 8 Track Recording Studio Software

The H2N and me are close to a perfect storm. I am a performer/songwriter with 40 years of music experience. I also have 25 years experience in multitrack recording. What I needed was a high quality, easy to use, digital recorder for sketching out tunes before firing up the entire studio and doing the real takes. Or just to record practices. The H2N delivers in spades. Crystal clear, accurate recording at the flip of a switch. My default settings are the highest res stereo wav with the Lo-Cut and Limiter 1 filters on. I even put it in a corner of the room at a party/acoustic jam and got GREAT results. No low frequency rumble and no clipping. No, it is not multi-track, studio recording where you can isolate each instrument, but that is not what the H2N is for. For on-the-fly it is nothing short of magnificent. I have not tried the 4-channel features yet so I cannot speak to that. 3 final notes: 1) 2 AA batteries provide about 12 hours of recording. 2) The H2N comes with a 2-Gig Disc (thank you Zoom,) but buy a 32-Gig Disc and you get 15 hours of high resolution, wav file recording. 15 Hours! Uncompressed! 3) The H2N comes with Steinberg's Wavelab LE7. No, it is not Cubase, or Pro Tools, or whatever... but it is ridiculously rich in filters and options and effects to dress up the raw files. Like I said, I haven't done any 4-track recording with it and I do not believe that the included WL-LE7 will read 4 tracks (files)... BUT, the H2N does allow for converting 4-channel recordings to 2-track before exporting. For its ease of use, crystal clear recording and flexibility I strongly, passionately recommend getting the H2N. I've had it a week and flat-out LOVE it.

I use these K92s for studio recording an electronic drum kit. The quick response and frequency range makes for a really authentic acoustic drum sound reproduction. The volume levels are huge which means you could take this into a live, environment even without monitoring. The audio clarity, volume and dynamics easily matches, or out performs some headsets that are priced at 5x the price of the K92. The closed back does prevent a large amount of leakage but they can still be heard significantly enough that they could be picked up by sensitive microphones should you be trying to record acoustic instruments. So could get click track / scratch track bleed into the main mix.

First, 60W will probably meet your needs in a small video studio. I only use 2-8% of the output. Secondly, a standard modifier platform (Bowens' S mount), has saved me a great deal of time. The lower cost silent heads would only accept barndoors, gaffing tape and aluminum foil. Far Far easier to repurpose old modifiers or purchase new. Previously, I would have to retape the foil at inopportune times. SILENCE is critical for me. Recording a cast once correctly is worth all the post processing in the world. Nothing beats SILENCE.

I've been using protools for about 10 years in my recording studio and I think is the best software for record, edit and mix music. I got this version for working in my laptop and now I can work everywhere. The native plug ins woks very well and you can get others of your preference that run well too. For shure I will continue using protools in the future.

Before the Zoom F2, before the Tentacle Sync Track E, Before the Rode... There was the Tascam DL10L! Dual level, zero interference because it's internal recording, perfect file saving, long battery life, small form factor make it easy to hide, perfect for wedding and interviews... It does it all in a simple easy to use portable body! The ONLY system that comes close is the Tentacle Sync Track E... But at 2.5x's the price is the Tascam is still a contender! If you learn to rig the lav and isolate it from excess rustle or use software like the iZotope RX9 deRustle you can have an excellent tool to get doubt at all angles where a boom mic can't be (such as wife shots or moving shots). The Tascam is STILL one of the best. With it's dual track recording feature is essentially 30 bit recording! Bring able to record a second track at -6 and -12 db means you got it on high and on low gain at the same time. You pull that into your sound or video editor and boom adjust as necessary. No it doesn't actually have 32bit float... But having that second track -6 to -12 db lower dedicatedly give it just about the same flexibility.
