😭😭😭 Man mine passed away on me about 3 months ago and they discontinued these units. I didn't want to buy a used one so had to get the dp32 sd it's ok but just something about that 2488 neo.... But thanks brother
When I read the 2488 neo instructions, some info is basic and easily applied. But much is not. Especially if your a middle aged drummer with no digital, and only some analog recording experience. These videos really help. Thanks Paige. I have over 100 live jam sessions from 2010-2011 recorded on my neo. Thanks to your mixdown/mastering video I have been able to master a dozen songs. For some reason, after mastering the last song, it sounds great during playback on the neo but when playing back off the burned CD, all the low end dropped out. Sounds kinda like a mono AM radio. I tried 2 more times to undo/redo the mastering but it still ends up flat. I'm gonna watch the mixdown/mastering video again. I'm sure I'm missing something.
@XHALE303 I have not gone back and tried to fix the mix yet. Sorry. Had to move and haven't had enough time to set up my studio again. I would buy the 2488 neo again tho. It's a great versatile recorder and it's very easy to get started recording. It's also very easy to be productive with it.
Can you please show what buttons that's your present and I need to know after I'm done with my recording how to save it and I need to know what buttons to press you guys don't show what buttons you pressing you just showed the screen and I need to see what button you press him for to save the music and then burn it to CD I need to see all of that.
I also had just found another trick to fit loud vocals into the mix without having to move that fader as much to not make compressor work as hard. I did this by recording a vocal track on a channel raw with no compression or where even the highest peak doesn't go above the 16th mark on the stereo meters because trick is to keep those meters of vocal track in control since vocals are hard to contain and must be controlled and then, bouncing it to a stereo track then you could compress as much as needed and that really contains that signal to where it isn't jumping around as much and seems to me after everything is mixed down that signal bees loud enough and fits perfectly into the mix. That seems to work better for me. But Paige yo music be sounding very professional and that's how we must record it professionally because mixing just put things in place so yeah this song sound great. But yeah I'm going to mix my ol 2488.....
Kind of in an antiquated way. But if you want to get finished this is in my opinion the best way. When I use my computer there are way to many distractions. Then there is the event of software not performing correctly, plugins draging down the CPU. The computer shuting off and you losing all your work. With this unit you have to rely on your ears and not eyes. It's like in the old days when your tracking it is you the record button and the meters. You make a decision. Then you track it. If you don't like the track. You overdub with the new decision compare and discard the one you don't like. But the song and mix keeps moving.
Hello Paige , I hope you are still messin' with😮 this neo thing. I am taking my Shure mic thru an Alesis multimix 4, coming out stereo into input E for Left, F for right of my 2488 neo. Somehow, I got into the sub bus, didn' t know it, started messin araound , but my problem is that no matter what button combo I push, the stereo select button/light stays lit. And I am somehow connected to it . Help me if you can ,my Neo Guru. Ps. I only know enough to be dangerous
Paige, I went back and viewed Episode 2 and my question is: When setting track levels, do I set the track fader to zero, then use the trim knob to bring the level to 16?
I make some gigantic sounding stuff with one of these and my formula..what works for me is...bring your instruments In at -5...then when you master bring them up until your vu meter is hitting zero. And I do not apply any compression to the music until I'm going out to master. This would prob be different for vocals. This gets me national level volume on my cd. If you go out to master at -16 you won't have very much volume on your disc ...I'm assuming this cat here would push it up going out to mastering . This works for me. Hope it helps
Paige, I have a 2488 mkii and for some reason when I was in the compression mode I couldn't curser through the settings.. Switched to the EQ and then I could curser through em
😭😭😭

Very great. As always! 👍
Verse 2 digs awesome. Once again ,thank you my Neo Guru
My Guru of 2488. How do I keep finding myself here ?
Nice song. Thanks for the video.
Good job! Very helpful. Great song, btw!
Another great informative video.
Hey Paige give us a lesson on the Alesis sample pad pro That’s what I had just bought
Good video man
That is a very good song! :D
Great videos I’ve recently been following them as much as I can. Can you use this function during a bounce before you mix?
I want a hardware compressor keep making these... is this software on a hardware device ?

on your compressor try this. 2:5:1. then -6 and +6 on your post gain.
@@cagedaf8806 I will mess around with it later this week. Thank you very much sir.
@@RockyRaccoon3281 I am in the process of buying one, so i like to know, did you get it fixed?

@@RockyRaccoon3281 Haha that was 2y ago so i figured u had some time, lol. Thanx for your fast response anyway. Looks versatile indeed.
Does the 2488 neo have a built-in drum machine, other than the metronome?
are you going to master with -24 and only + 2 in the post gain?

The music is automatically saved to the hard drive. Which bottoms are you specifically referring to, to accomplish which features?
