    Is it LINE-OUT or not? NEED TO KNOW FAST!!

    Can anybody tell me whether or not the "Out to Tape" on the back of my receiver is at line level? Thanks. This radio station in Chicago is broadcasting the Metallica concert live, unedited, uncut (so they say) and I would love to get it on CD. I get to see them tomorrow night.

    DISC AT ONCE vs. TRACK AT ONCE....Help, please

    I'm using Philips Write2CD software. My aim is to copy a cd, not have any added gaps between tracks, but still be able to flip from track to track. Will copying "disc at once" do this? IF not, what is "disc at once" for and what can I do to prevent the program from adding space? Thanks in...

    I need help understanding pre-amps, amps, heads...

    Can somebody please explain to me how amps, heads, and pre-amps are related? I want to record bass, guitar, and vocals. If I can run a line out from the source to my sound card, out to my receiver, what do I need as the source--a pre-amp, an amp, what? Do I need a couple of different...

    Help me choose a new sound card, PLEASE!!

    I think I must have fried my sound card this weekend after I ran a cable from the headphone jack (instead of the line out) on my amp to the line-in on my sound card because it won't record any more. So that leaves me with having to buy a new one. This one was a SB Live Value. It served me...

    Anybody heard of Studio Monitor Headphones?

    I posted this question in Mixing/Mixing Down, but didn't get much of a response. Since I am a newbie, I thought I'd try again here. :) (BTW, How do you get those faces in the body of the message?) Has anybody heard of Sony Studio Monitor Headphones? I was in Best BUy the other day and came...

    Anybody heard of Studio Monitor headphones?

    Has anybody heard of Sony Studio Monitor Headphones? I was in Best BUy the other day and came across a pair for $30. They had a bigger pair (with a slightly greater frequency range) for $100. Since I'm new to the whole recording thing and still living in my parents' basement (in my defense...

    Need Help Understanding Recording Levels

    That's for all that great advice, Slackmaster! I'm using Acid ph1. I think it's an old precursor to all the Acid products that are out there now because I can't even find it on Sonic Foundry's web page. The editor I'm using is Sound Forge XP 4.5. That's where the 'dynamics' effect is. Acid...

    Mixing

    Now that I look at the stuff on mixing, I realize that in order to burn a stereo CD I need to MIX!! But what software can I use to do this on my computer? Is there decent shareware out there? Is Sound Forge XP any good at all for this? Is it possible to do all the mixing on the computer...

    Stereo or Mono for guitar and bass tracks?

    I'm recording electric guitar by micing the amplifier. (I'm getting a very good tone). The mic is 1/4", with a 1/8" stereo adapter on it. But the mic is mono, right? How can I tell if the mic is mono or stereo? If it's stereo, should I set the recording monitors (in Acid ph1) to stereo or...

    CD burning, unequal volumes

    I recorded some guitar tracks (mono) in Acid ph1. Then I burned a CD of it. THe volume is fine out of my home speakers, but for some reason, the left channel is louder than the right when I play it in my car. This is not typical. Any ideas, possible explanations, etc? Thanks in advance.

    ACID ph1

    Does anybody know offhand whether or not ACID ph1 can be used for multi-track recording? (I may be mis-using the term--what I mean is I want to record the guitar track, then play it back through headphones (possibly through a different program) and record a vocal track. So that I then have...

    STEINBERG CLEAN! help?!!

    Is there any way to use this program with 640x480 display? And how do you select portions of a track and process an effect on that portion, and then be able to go back and do it again on the same track--different effect, different portion? Any help would be much appreciated.

    HISS, CRACKLE, POP...HELP!!!!

    I've copied a couple of LP tracks onto my hard drive and have used Gold Wave 4.02 to remove hiss and hum. But there are still these scratches and pops left in. I was going to go through each song, second by second, and normalize each blip on the screen using Sound Forge XP 4.5, but that's very...

    CLEANING UP OLD RECORDS

    I'm using Gold Wave 4.02 to remove hiss and hum from LP tracks I've recorded on my hard drive. Now I need to eliminate the scratches, which appear to occur in cycles. They look like spikes. Any help would be appreciated. [This message has been edited by JLLFAN (edited 10-06-1999).] [This...
