I am going to record my own songs( Classsical guitar and vocal, sometimes keyboard and vocal) I have scarlett sole package with Cubase element, but I use Audacity, I want to do it very simple as I know I can not do a very professional recording but I want best result I can do.
I tried (for two weeks) but got very confused, shall I use Echo or reverb, what about the setting of effects? the compressor setting for example shall use a threshold near to my top decibles, I keep every thing about 9 decibles when I recording but after mixing it goes to high, and then I normalize it, does my song have distortion this way? should I use compression on each track individually or on all tracks or after mixing them down? a lot a lot of question, can you please help me, can any body communicate with me? I will not bother you for a long time..thanks a lot.
