Ya got it all wrong , Technology makes it easier for us to get multiple headaches , while scrutinizing ( beefy ) manuals , `fcourse them oldies had more leisure time :)

Location: south east Michigan | I am gonna get this.
I know I got the brains, I just gotta grasp the concept and the language.
I'm not asking for any answers here. I'm reading the manual page by page, step by step. I know it made sense to the guy who wrote it because he already knew it.
This is what I'm gonna do.
This Friday, before practice, I'm gonna stop at a couple music stores and the local Guitar Center. I'm going to post a flier on their bulletin board.
It's gonna say.... WANTED.... instructor for basic operation of REAPER software. Will pay guitar lesson rates.
All I need is about an hour or two of someone that will translate the instructions in the way that humans talk to eachother. In the meantime I'm going to keep reading and keep experimenting.
I am gonna get this!!! |

OFAJEN,
The low impedance of ribbon mics. is exactly the reason why I `m thinking of getting one with build -in pre -amp, alternatively , try to use a transformer :)

We'll see. I'm with you, Brad. Frustrating but, like golf, I just can't seem to walk away from it. If you find any hints, pm me if you would and I'll certainly do the same (although I'm taking the "I can do it alone" tactic and failing miserably).
I think you and I should plan a road trip out to some of these guys who do it well - Waskel would be great, I know T is well versed as are many others but whuddya say we visit, oh, I dunno, maybe Lanaki? |

If that`s all it would take , I´d be the first to sign up , but crossing the ocean without the means to do it..

Them transformers are as noisless as can be , the Ribbon mics. , that I had in mind have a -18 db treshold ( with built -in valve pre -amp ),and even less with fets , but such mics. would only do justice ( imo ) to first -rate vocalists , or real good acoustic instruments, for me , it`s the Peavey Pm 22 Diamond ( dyn. mic.), yet , IMO , the AKG C535 EB is the all -rounder , that can take it all. :)

Half was from instructions, half was, "let's push this button and see what happens." |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | :D Weazy....Brad....if you stick with the basics (simple single track) it will be easier on you.
If you try to figure out effects loops and inputs/outputs and chaining, etc..etc...you will kill something or somebody.
Just plug your guitar into the input and activate one track. Do that till you are comfortable with the sound you get (just re-record over the same track since it probably will improve each time)
While I still primarily use Cubase and Samplitude, Reaper is a really cool program that I have noodled with a bit. It's midi features are currently pretty weak and lame but that's not anything you would care about for some time to come.
Brad....you know the door is always open! |

Beleive me.... I got my goals set pretty low.
Before I went to work this morning I figured out how to record 1 mic and 1 guitar at the same time. This was quite a breakthough.
Looping, punch editing, MIDI,... that is all way, way down the line.
Some frustration is expected. But if I find myself pissed off, I walk away from it for a while. |

Location: Latitude 39.56819, Longitude -105.080066 | I have some older books on Cubase, Sonar, Reason, etc, etc...that I would be happy to send out to you guys for the cost of postage.
Obviously DAW specific but a lot of good information that cross-translates into DAW's in general. |

Of course, if you asked me last week I wouldn't have had a clue. |
