Tape recorder

Has anyone made a tape recorder device like VDat but just one or two tracks at a time? - just simple record and save as wav - thats all I need really.

You can do it with the STS samplers with rec inputs.

In some very heavy on dsp projects, an sts3000 can be too much, a little device that does stereo recording and works like vdat would be kickass...

Yep, bunch of people on planetz asked for this long time ago!

Like you said, you'd be kick ass !!!

I can't seem to get my STS to record anything - don't like using it much, you have to wade through so many windows to get where you want.

All I need is a simple recorder to place in a project and avoid having to use asio to record audio. You'd think one would come with Scope really.

take Vdat DPproject remove 6 in and output
add a stereo feature rec in out
add 4 insert slot
give us vmeter before and after insert
put this devices at a cheap price
Like 39 euro and voilà
all the people will buy this dreamin plug
of course 32bit/96khz compatibility
easy and usefull for the plattform

The problem with STS3000 is that it records to memory and not disc, so you will eat it up quickly. That's ok for mixdown of radio-pop music, but not for 10+ min tracks.

Well I eventually did get it to record something but only after setting up zones in the sample editor window and various other windows etc. What a crappy interface. A quick disk recorder it is not.

Personally I think Creamware should include a cut down recorder like a 2 track VDat as standard.

Just a note... linking a couple of those thru Clock will make identical options as VDAT

So to keep selling any VDAT's they should make the stereo device at least without sync options then... But indeed, some basic recording device would be welcome!

exactly the same idea entered my mind, but honestly at 99 shop buggy euros, who'd want to miss VDAT ?

cheers, Tom

They could give it for free to all VDAT owners...

I must admit I did try that option a few times but at the moment everytime I enter my activation code the server spunks out

And I'm certainly not paying 200 for it. Their loss I guess.

If you don't mind using a native application, there's always Silen Bob:

Don't worry, you'll end up with the same quality bits with no difference in warmth =P

Why do you need this?
E.g. I record my mix on a additional stereo track in Cubase.

Yeah, a little 2-track recorder would be awesome. Especially if it did 24- or 32-bit.

gets my vote...

erminardi · Post by **erminardi** » Sun Jun 11, 2006 11:23 am

I vote for it too!

It could be a fundamental mastering tool, actually I must ever create 8 tracks to obtain stereo recording in VDat...too much space in my HD wasted!

astroman · Post by **astroman** » Sun Jun 11, 2006 2:39 pm

I vote against it, because it's nonsense

1.) many sequencer users apply the method of the 'spare stereo track' (as written above) or use their preferred wave editor (for whatever reasons)

2.) the Scope native 32bit int format isn't what's usually exchanged, so you'd want to convert/dither it anyway, let alone if you want to write a CD

3.) there is no waste of space in VDAT
you can use 4 independant stereopairs by alternating/muting the tracks.

cheers, Tom

ps: for those who complain that it's ahhh so easy and CWA should do it for free:
sit down with your favourite compiler and write the stupid merger for the 2 panned channels...
