whats ur method????
i just finally figured out how to record from my 606 to my coumputer...lol i kno its taken some time...but i was wondering how people went about seperating sounds to mix down final projects. i usually just record the whole song because my patterns are either the intro, hook, or verse. I kno that thatse not ideal because i mmight want to adjust certain sounds...for instance my hats were hitting too loud and there wasnt nothing i could do to adjust them because they were not on its own track. wat do u do????
I use the four-track sequencer in the 606 a lot to make my tracks. I start with the drums, then the bass, then leads and so on.
So, with the drums, the Kick/Snare pattern might be on one track, the hats on another, a crash on another and percussion on one. Then you can listen to them all together, turn parts on and off to explore progression, and finally record each part out seperately to give total control in the mix.
Going back to the 606 for live work is exactly the opposite: take all parts of a track that go together, such as all the drums, and 'group' them into three or four different versions that can be replayed as loops.
Same method for other instruments. Basses and leads really benefit from four-track layering.
