Hi!
I have several synths-no drum machines yet- running into A & H Zed 10 mixer and the mixer stereo out into a Tascam DR40X portable recorder.
Recordings are…fine mix-wise, however they do sound a bit flat. You can tell some of the body and presence-warmth?- of the original signal gets cut out.
I have been reading a bit around, and I hear names like Analog Heat, Oto Boum or FMR NRLA been thrown around a lot as devices capable of adding some extra “girth” to the sound.
I am wondering if any of these would be beneficial on the master, also bearing in mind that the music is broadly speaking “ambient” with little bass and no drums.
Recommendations appreciated!
( Only hardware based please - I have already fiddled around with an audio interface and iPad)
