I'm seeking some EQ'ing rules of thumb specific to my voice. I know I don't have the greatest pipes, and I know a few months of private singing lessons would benefit me greatly. I will take those lessons as soon as I can afford them, but until then aside from practice, what can I do to take my...

I use Audacity with the GVerb plugin for reverb. There are several options for customizing the reverb processing including room size, reverberation time, damping factor, input bandwith, first reflection level, and tail level. Of course, all of these settings will depend on the song, personal...

I have an acoustic rhythm guitar track with some distracting clicking sounds in it. Sounds like the guitar pick clicking against the pick guard. Any tips for minimizing this?

Here's another draft. I took out the second vocal track, because I agree that it was distracting. Instead, I took one vocal track and copied it. I brought one of those tracks up 9 cents and panned it all the way to one side, the copy of that track I brought down 9 cents and panned it all the...

Is there a way to not display any signatures in the forum? They sure clutter up the information. And when someone has some quotation in their signature it's like reading the same bad tee shirt over and over every time they post. Wow, this really is a first-world complaint. Nonetheless...

I own a condenser mic and a Linux laptop. What are my best options? I have been using a preamp (mainly to provide phantom power to the mic) and sending the output of the preamp to the mic jack on the laptop. Unfortunately the preamp overheats and I need to keep the gain near zero to keep...

I'm a mid-to-late twenty-something, and I am about ten years behind. Back in high school my musician friends were making their first recordings and I recall that the levels were always very low. I'd play my friends' CDs in my mom's minivan and I'd have to turn the volume up to 100% to hear...

The more effort I put into making a high-quality, clear vocal track, the worse my singing voice sounds. Sort of the audio analogue of a high-resolution closeup picture of an ugly person versus a blurry long shot of an ugly person. Thoughts? Ideas?

Hi everybody, I'm a recording newbie and I am seeking your advice. I just made my first attempt at a multitrack recording. I recorded with a Tascam DR-07 (handheld condenser mic/recorder which produced 24 bit .wav files) and did a rough mix using Audacity on a Linux laptop. I am well aware...
