Now, i'm at the stage where I want to make my own voiceovers through software - so if your confused by what I mean..think your major commercial radio station. The pre-recorded voice overs that are put between songs for Station ID and so forth.

Anyone know a program that will allow me to do this? ]]> Newbies fox929 http://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=292697 http://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=292686&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 20:22:34 GMT Hey everyone....I want to buy my girlfriend a mic for her birthday and I was looking at this one mic in particular: http://www.zzounds.com/item--RODNT1A Can it connect to a Macbook and how would it happen?

It seems to work alright. The tempo changes from time to time and that's a pain in the dirty area. But what I really suck at.. Creating beats. I can jam with the best guitarist (25+ years) old dog here.. But I don't know crap about drums or what sounds best with my music. I use to play a lot of death metal and progression. Now I'm more into the acoustic guitar playing acoustic rock, blues and classical. How does one learn beats LOL, yeah right like one is able to answer that. I guess if you were a drummer it would not be a problem creating these. But for someone who just jams guitar, this crap is difficult.. Any way to make this easier then using FL Studio?

Does anyone have any tips/tricks about creating beats that have seemed to work for them?

Also because I jam guitar I usually play and record the rhythm section first, I then double track that, following that up with vocals, and then follow the vocals up with lead guitar.. And trying to place beats in them is hard..

Is this about right, or am I screwing this all up LOL ]]> Newbies MrSounds http://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=292669 http://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=292668&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 07:45:02 GMT I am interested in being able to record my piano playing. I started doing some research but I am really confused and most articles talk about a bunch of stuff that I don't think I really need. I am just wondering what would be the minimum software and hardware I would need to do a good quality recording with my laptop. Also how do I know if my laptop is good enoug to do recording? A lot of things I have read talk like you need a special sound card. What kind of microphones would you recommend for piano? I would also be interested in recording my playing with a singer or a chamber music group. Would it be best to have 1 or 2 other microphones for this? I am not interested in any multitrack recording or editing right now but in the future I might want to try editing my recordings. ]]> Newbies dmusic http://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=292668 http://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=292645&goto=newpost Fri, 20 Nov 2009 00:10:29 GMT does the position of the amp affect the recording?? ex if i place the amp on the ground or on my desk will it make a difference in recording ??

But while I was going through some old stuff that I recorded I noticed that it has a USB port and I started thinking... Is there a way that I could use the AW-1600 as an audio interface. I borrowed a USB printer cable from a friend (it had the right connections) and plugged it into my laptop that has audacity.... nothing. My wizard install thingy couldn't find the proper software. :(

The only way I could get the AW-1600 to show up on my computer was the use the USB "MASS STORAGE" function on the yamaha.I tried to import the individual tracks from the files into audacity, but only about a 15sec portion of the track would show up. :mad:

Am I walking down a dead street here? Or IS there a way that I could use the Yamaha AW-1600 as an audio interface? :confused:

I play guitar and I want to record a cover album with a couple of mates for the summer holidays with piano, guitar, vocals and possibly drums and bass (recorded individually) I am a complete newbie so all the information I have is from a couple of people from the guitar shop.

I have a couple of questions regarding interfaces:

1. Because I have a very limited budget range (100 bucks AU) I dont have enough money to buy a mixer. Would it be possible to record the guitar piano and vocals by JUST using a computer recording interface (U-control UCA222 BEHRINGER) plugged directly into the computer and still have a decent sound??

2. Is it possible to record drums with the ubove mentioned interface ??

3. If its not possible to record drums, does the sound from a drum machine or a virtual drum sound any good ??

4. Is there anything I really need to know before going ahead with this ??

5. I haven't bought anything yet so If i have the wrong mindset for what equipment i should be getting please tell me !!

Thanks heaps !! ]]> Newbies Spec1234 http://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=292593 http://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=292585&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 01:09:53 GMT ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Sorry double post ---------------------------------------------------------------------------Sorry double post ]]> Newbies 12pak http://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=292585 http://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=292579&goto=newpost Thu, 19 Nov 2009 00:02:19 GMT I'm really new to this midi stuff and am trying to grasp what I need here.

I need help on a shopping list. Right now the only thing I have is an acoustic guitar, a Guitar Hero World Tour mike, and a Windows Xp computer with Mixcraft, Adobe Audition 3 and Audacity.

What am I missing in order to get a simple recording studio in my room. Do I need a mixer, more mike's, firmware, what ever that is, what should i get? :confused: :confused: :confused: :confused:

Mind you I'm a bit short on cash so if you can also recommend cheap but reliable brands that would also help. ]]> Newbies Alighieri http://homerecording.com/bbs/showthread.php?t=292566
