Here is the first in a series of videos narrating my process as I record an original song using my Tascam 244.

In this first episode I track drums using three inexpensive microphones*, then bounce the three drum signals to one monaural track, using the insert panels on the rear of the 244 to add some compression and reverb during the bounce.

In the next episode I will overwrite the original three drum microphones with Rhodes piano, guitar and vocals.

*something I neglected to mention during filming is that on this model of portastudio the mixer pan controls should be panned hard left on tracks 1 and 3 and hard right on channels 2 and 4 -for an explanation of this, please refer to my review of the Tascam 244 ;-
