I've always loved recording! (Not loving what was recorded as much!)
I started as a kid with my Dad's Clarion small reel-to-reel tape player. Similar to this:
Then I got a nice cassette recorder somewhat like this:
I about wore that thing out!
I would record a backing track on the old reel-to-reel and them jam some lead along with it and record it on the cassette!
Next I inherited a Sony full size Reel-to-Reel like this:
Since these were stereo and you had the ability to record left and right channel separately, I dual tracked on one machine!
Then I stepped up my game and bought a used one of these:
I spent hours "ping-ponging" tracks back and forth until I had seven tracks laid down.
Here's a sample of an original song I turned into a video:
(I warned you it wasn't very good! And just for the record, all the photos are mine from my first Kodak digital camera.)
I had also bought an electric keyboard for the drums!
I've messed around a bit with "Audacity" on the computer, but have never done anything serious.
