    "Tape Speed"

    Is there a way in Logic to slow down a song just a little to make it easier to sing a high note? I'm having trouble hitting a note that I know I would be able to if I could slow everything down just a hair, which I've down in the past when recording analog. I know I could mess with autotune...

    To compress or not to compress

    Is there any other reason to compress vocals other than to control the transients? I recorded my vocals recently. When I finally got a comp good enough I individually reduced the gain of each wave that was too high. When finished I thought it sounded pretty level. I know this is time...

    Radio interference

    Sorry for the noob question. I was recording last night and I was picking up a local radio station. I finally figured out it was a mic cable picking up the station. I switched it out and no more radio. My question is, is that a bad cable I should return or some fluke. I tried to recreate...

    The 3:1 rule

    Couple questions about the rule. I understand that two mics have to be separated 3 times the distance they are from the sound source. My first question is can the ratio be greater? For example, 4:1 or 5:1. My second question, will there be phase problems if the two mics are different...

    live drums to midi

    Hey all, I just recorded my drummer and I'm not happy with the bass drum. So I converted the audio file to midi. When Logic did it's magic the notes were plotted all over the place. Is there a way to select them all and select the note to be C1 or do I have to individually change each note...

    Presonus FP10

    I tried recording my band the other night. I have Logic Express 8 and a Presonus FP10. I used two overheads for the drums (ch 1-2), a mic for both guitar amps(ch 3-4), DI for bass (ch 5) and three vocal mics(ch 6-8). I wanted to use the line outs from the vocal channels and send them to our...

    Sample Editor problem

    When I try to open the sample editor by double tapping an audio file some files it won't let me open. It keeps opening the previous one I edited. Whenever this happens I can still open other audio files by double tapping just not certain ones. I can still open the audio file if I do it in the...

    Shure SM7b

    I've been doing a lot of research, trying to figure out which mic to buy to record my (male pop punk) vocals. I'd been considering the Rode NT1a or the AT4040 but after a lot of reading I'm now leaning towards Shure SM7b. I'm fairly new at this, although I've been in many bands and many...

    Presonus FP10

    Hey, I've been looking through past threads and have found mixed answers. Does the Preonus FP10 work with Garageband and if it does, can you record eight channels simultaneously? I plan on upgrading to Logic soon. So same questions. I'm not 100% sure I'm gonna get Logic so I could use...
