    Need guidance on use of phantom power on my PC interface

    I recently worked with another musician in my home studio. When we ready to use my condenser mic which required phantom power, I switched the phantom button on my Focusrite PC Interface which had eight inputs. The switch was designed to activate phantom power for inputs 1 through 4. I connected...

    Tracks won't arm for recording

    The audio device is Microsoft Sound Mapper. I do not have an external PC interface connected at this point. But before a few minutes ago, at Sound Mapper, I could easily record. Earlier I was messing around with Reaper which is also a DAW on my computer and that would not record either.

    Tracks won't arm for recording

    Hi I was playing around with my Sony Acid music DAW, and inadvertently did something to cause to cause the "arm for record" button to turn pale. It won't come back to its normal look and I cannot get any recording done at all. Obviously my fault. Any help. I'm stuck as of now. Don't know what to do

    Reaper DAW, will it deliver all the "goods" in multi track recording?

    Hi I recently bought the license to use Reaper. Upon comparing to Sony Acid Music DAW, I realized that the equalization high end for Reaper was much higher than the DAW for Sony Acid Music. That, to me was a plus. Again my question for use of this software is would I need a multi channel mixer...

    To use or not to use mixer

    Hi: Thus far, for recording tracks, I have simply connected the cable for my music instrument directly to my PC interface box, and used whatever signal processors (equalization, reverb, compression, etc) provided as part of Sony Acid Music software. But for many professional recording...

    Presonus audio box does not sound right with acid music software

    Hi: I very recently bought a Presonus 1818VSL audio interface box, intending to record my music with Acid Music 9.0 multi[track recording software. After the computer program recognized the audiobox, I selected it and clicked OK. I tried to record a vocal track, testing my AT 4040...

    Recording project charge. Any suggestions?

    Hi: I have been asked by a guy who write and records his music primarily to Africans, to help boost the music arrangement of music that he previously recorded. He did not like how some of the songs came out after he recorded them so he wants me to add more tracks and make it sound fuller...

    What do I need now? About vocal recording.

    Hi I had my home recording studio set up in the basement room that I carved out of our basement open space. I put a lot of insulation on all the walls. The idea was to keep from losing heat in the winter from my baseboard heater in the room. The vocal recordings turn out really nice. Then my...

    Pre-amp frequency range on PC interface versus equalization on recording software

    Hi: I am currently using Sony Acid Music 9.0 software for recording. I am considering getting a second generation PC recording interface box from Focusrite. The specs indicate pre-amp frequency range of between 20Hz and 20kHz which, to me, is pretty decent. However, the Acid Music software...

    Advice on Bit Depth for recording

    Hi: I am using a Sony Acid Music 9.0 Software to record my music. Whenever I start a new song and I go to File > New, in the Audio tab, it gives me a choice of Bit Depth. The program has 8, 16, and 24-bit choices, but its default bit depth is 16, so I have always recorded with 16 bit depth...
