I'm looking for a new vocal mic and I'm still debating which mic I should get. I have an SM58, and a large condenser CAD M177 (the little bro of the M179 multi pattern mic) the SM58 doesn't pick up room sound (the CAD M177 does pick up a tiny bit of room sound, like most large condenser it...

In protools, the software can set 2 track to act as 1 output, meaning if there's sound on the top track, it'll play that regardless of what's on the 2nd track. In cubase, the DAW will play both track at the same time, I'm not sure how to set it to act like protools.

I normally record my vocal dry, but I've heard that it's probably a little better to send a small reverb to the headphone without recording it (it was explain that it'll make the singer keep track of keys easier). One tiny problem, I don't know how to do that :).

how do you do it? what are the steps? Do you turn the volume all the way down before hitting the power switch? thanks.

i want a decent/budget soundcard (not sure if that that exists haha)... but just something simple, I need 2 input (i have a 2 channel pre that i want to plug into)... I need 2-3 output... I have 2 sets of speakers I want it it output, if it has headphone output it's even better.... I was...

my sound card has these connection: SPDIF in/out Optical in/out I understand that the SPDIF uses Coaxial Digital Cables and the Optical uses Optical Digital Cables Assuming that the preamp has a digital out, and has both SPDIF/optical out, which one should be connect? or do i have to connect...

I have on my hand right now some of the cheap preamp that people ask questions about, so i'm gonna proceed to write something short about them. 1) Beringer Mic800, real nice looking, sounds very similar to the beringer Euro mixer line, thin, sharp, totally stand out from the mix, not good. 2)...

I know i know, there's a kabillion thread on it already, but after reading about 50 i have gather up to this, but none of it matter because alot of them is opinions and crap, so i'm trying to get 1 last shot before i buy my preamp. a few point i like to note: Budget: 150 or under (so none of...

i'm using a balanced cable to connect this, anything wrong? or i'm using the wrong cable, i heard they make balanced cable at one end going out to unbalanced at the other end. I've been using it like this without realizing my input is unbalanced haha. NVM, i found the answer, the result is an...

i was thinking of the HD-280 but i realized that i don't need a closed headphone to monitor mixes (ain't recording anything, why need closed headphone for?), so i guess it's w/e is the cheapest that can produce clear sound without coloring or distortion, any ideas?

as you know, all songs has parts that they repeat and are virtually the same, when you record vocal, do you sing all those parts? or do you just sing 1 copy and then paste them into the other parts? Personally i figure that it saves time and voice, but i normally do sing all parts, now that i...

I'm getting into this dicussion with some dude on another forum who claims that a 50 dollar headset when record will sound just as good as 200 dollars gear com condenser + micpre. my choice for the argument is the M-audio audio buddy + Project studio B1 that costs around 170 or 200 at most...

Let say i just want to record vocal. And i have this: An FX unit, a micpre and a compressor. How would i link them together? I was thinking of something like this, but i'm not sure if it's right. MIC >>> Micpre >>> Compressor >>> FX unit >>> Soundcard?

This is gonna be a story about vocal recording I used to have a mixer that has effect built in (knobs effects built in), and i'm so used to it, it was very basic with just 3 thing "echo" "delay" "repeats". It turn out the dam thing worked pretty good, the only problem is that having is the...

what's the difference? i see some uses shock mount and some uses ring mount, and i have no clue what's the difference between them.

I'm trying to pick up a set of mic + mic pre for vocal (just simple 1 line vocal, nothing fancy) as my current gear is no good (and i'm talking about near the border of not usable). Marshall Electronics MXL V67G <<< 100 bucks, i've heard good reviews on this OR Studio Projects B1 <<< 120 <<<<...

I bought it for 100 and now i'm gonna need something slightly better for vocal. I was limited to dynamic because my cheapo mixer can't use condenser, but i'm gonna get a mic pre anyways so now i'm open for condenser/dynamic. I'm hoping for something better but still in my budget (around 150)...

Currently i own the SM58, but i'm bore and i want something a little different sounding, i've always wanted to get a Sennheiser because my friend's dad has one and I like it sounding, i don't remember what model he has, but it's a 835 or lower. The 835 is what everyone know and used, but the...

i just recently update the thing, and surprise some of the old effect i use is now no longer available, i can probably recreate it if i remember the setting, can't believe Adobe is pull stuff like this. They also have some new settings but i'm so used to the old one. This is crap :)

i'm using a creative audigy 4 pro, i have the driver install but adobe audition insist that i use ASIO driver for better quality, i've never heard of this, anyone know anything about it?
