Hey guys, so here's a random stupid thought: Has anybody here recorded vocals in a car before? and if so, what were your results? Also, what kind of car was it?. The reason that I ask is because i own a bmw e30. I've been trying to record some verses on a new rap song i'm working on, but just...

I recently started tracking vocals with an M audio Fast Track USB interface. The interface only has two LED indicator lights, which is kind of a hassle. A Green led, and RED led, which comes on when I'm clipping or about to clip. When tracking my vocals in my DAW, I found a comfortable fader...

What's up fam?! As you can tell from the title, this is my first original instrumental. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XWTMYUc8vBI&feature=youtube_gdata_player Need some support and technical/constructive feedback :) I put a lot of time into this piece. It's not the most complex work of art...
