Oh yeah. I know exactly what you are talking about. I don't know why I didn't know the name. Thanks!

What are SDCs?

I have a Lexicon Omega and I used it on my PC with reaper. I always had problems with crackling and hissing and weird driver problems. Then I found out about a heating issue where a piece of metal is touching a ribbon on the inside and I fixed that and at the same time moved to a Macbook Pro and...

Yeah, the 990 works for me as a beginner but sometimes mine does weird things. Thanks for your tips. I had a cold that day so that affected the vocals some. What do you mean by better mics in proper positions? Just putting them where they make an instrument or vocals sound the best?

Ok, I finally got a decent permanent setup and recorded a song with multiple tracks and although it is far from perfect, as a newbie I was proud enough to share it. So I was wondering (apart from the mediocre to bad singing and guitar playing) what I could do to make it better. I used a Gibson...

Well, I've used this computer for recording before without problems. It's just recently that I've been having troubles like this.

Is Crucial a good brand for memory? I just did a scan on their website and they said what I could upgrade to and brought up a package of their product that they recommended.

Ok, so I see that 1 GB of RAM is only about $100 so I think I am going to buy that. Will that give me a good improvement or will it be one of those scenarios where I will have to upgrade something else to get the benefits of that and something else to get the benefits of that? Also would 1GB...

Thanks for the help everyone. I'm actually about to get a Macbook Pro for college so could I just use that for recording? Here are the specs on that... MacBook Pro 2.2 GHz (15") * 15.4-inch widescreen display * up to 1920x1200 resolution * 2.2 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo * 2 GB...

Nope, no editing was done other than the FX-Chain or whatever it was called. I think Firefox was running while I was recording it, maybe that caused it. My computer is kind of old too. Computer: Operating System Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition OS...

I'm still a recording newbie and I've encountered a weird problem that I don't know how to fix. My recording has these little skipping noises in it. Here is the mp3... http://www.mediafire.com/?rmmxby0p4nl The first one happens about :16 and the next after that is at about :32 and then there...

Three Pickups

Wow, thanks Richard I will definitely take all of those things into consideration. I just remembered another guitar that will be a really good possibility. The Seagull 25th Anniversary guitar. I was at a Guitar Center a month ago and one of the sales people said he thought it was the best guitar...

I want to get a new acoustic guitar that I could take to college and I want a decent guitar that is under $500 or maybe $600. A friend recommended a Martin DX1 or Taylor Big Baby which I will check out when I go to get one but I was wondering if you guys had any advice or opinions about those or...

Here is a little update on everything.... I got my AKG D790 (it took months) and I also had bought a MXL 990. The AKG D790 seems to have a little better tone (if that's the right word for it) but even with a pop filter P's tend to pop sometimes which doesn't happen with the MXL. That stand...

Yeah, I am a pretty big indie fan and I love the Decemberists. I will probably record a cover of "Eli the Barrow Boy" or maybe "A Cautionary Song" next. Glad too see a fellow Sufjan fan too. You live in the Upper Peninsula drummerboy?

Thanks for the help everyone. Concerning how it sounds like I am holding back, that may be partly to do with the fact that I am still trying to get comfortable recording. That may sound silly but for some reason I get kind of nervous when I record. I'll work on that though. ahrenba, all of my...

I know this isn't the best site for this but I do know that you guys are honest and give good advice and criticism so I hope you don't mind if I ask this here. I have been playing guitar for a few years now and just recently got some stuff for recording music. It's pretty inexpensive gear but...

I am using a Lexicon Omega interface and everytime I record something I get a real bad fuzzy sound that messes up the recording. It doesn't matter if it is a vocal recording or a direct input instrument recording it does it everytime. It doesn't matter whether I am using Audacity or Cubase...

Thanks for the information. I don't know if I'll ever have the stand set up like yours so I might be ok with it. Yeah, I already sent in the stuff to get it but it will take 6-8 weeks to get here and I was thinking that if I could find another mic for under $100 I would get it and use...
