I presently run an Audio Technica AT4040 into an ART Pro Channel preamp then into a Delta 44. I only record male RnB vocals and like to do all my mixing on my computer rather than an outboard. I record in a homemade booth (a huge rug on two large frames with a reflexion filter in front of that)...

Excuse me if this comes across as particularly stupid, but I am at somewhat of a a loss as to how to record high quality audio via my laptop. Previously I used my PC, which has since collapsed under numerous viruses and generally being quite old now. I was previously running:- AUDIO TECHNICA...

Do any of you guys use any plugins that you would consider essential for use in Audition or any other programs?

What software is general considered the most superior in terms of capturing and mixing vocals on a pre-recorded instrumental?

Hi guys Would appreciate any feedback from those who've used this unit in terms of the settings to use to get me started. I'm connecting to an Audio Technica AT4040 microphone recording Pop/RnB vocals. I am rubbish with the low cut not, should this be high or low? I am useless with the...

I'm confused...what's the difference between the JoeMeek ThreeQ and the SixQ? What does the latter do that the former doesn't?

URGENT ADVICE NEEDED! My M-Audio TAMPA's input blew recently, so having sold a phone and some other crap on Ebay I managed to get another £200 together to replace it. Now I'm slightly anxious, cause whilst I liked the pre, it didn't blow me away, but it certainly did a good enough job for the...

I have recently purchased the Delta 44 but hate it cause my output isn't stereo, everything is mono. Please can you recommend a new soundcard, possibly costing a bit more like the EMU that would offer me stereo output from one output jack? I just can't be doing a panned mixdown in mono any longer!

In terms of panning and recording, how should I set myself up? I always used to do the lead vocal with one dub vocal panned 100% left and one 100% right but with the volume down a bit. On my new equipmet this just sounds cluttered. How do you guys lay a lead vocal? On it's own? Also, on hooks...

Very newbie question:- What is a patch bay? What does it do?

First off:- - Jacks and leads are all brand new and I've rotated to check they are not the problem. - There are no visible hardware conflicts on my audio equipment. - Volume settings are not the problem, I have tried messing with the Delta 44 volume settings AND the external amp...

Which microphone of these two offers the best sound and value for money?

...make even the best equipment sound terrible? Cause I've upgraded the hell out of my equipment yet the old equipment gave a much better and cleaner sound (but I moved house in between). Guess my main question is; how much difference to a recording will room acoustics make (equipment is...

Hi guys, just bought an M-Audio TAMPA with built in compression and was hoping you could give me some tips on what compression settings to start with in order to get a base to start from. My euiqpment is listed below and my musical sound can be heard at www.edjamesmusic.com if that helps at...

Shouldn't be any comparison right? So why am I getting a crisp studio quality from the AKG b 2000c in a $40 preamp and a hollow sounding vocal from the AT4040 in a $300 preamp that as soon as you put reverb on it sound like it was recorded at 96kbps?! Help, I'm depressed beyong all belief...
