Personally, I only do subtractive eq'ing during tracking, just cutting out weird ugly frequencies that I know I will not want, cutting them out from the source. Guitars shouldn't have TOO much processing in my opinion, really except for a possible high-shelf or a HPF there shouldn't be a whole...

All interfaces typically have this feature but the guitar would be clean because the direct monitoring is BEFORE it gets into the computer, which is why there is such low latency. You would have to have an amp modeler and THEN plug it into an interface. The only one I can think of under $300 is...

So, my walls in my basement are quite strange. The walls themselves are rockwool, so there is next to zero reflection of any sound in my basement. While this is good on SOME level because there are no BAD reflections/standing waves/etc, it also gives all my recordings a very dull, dry, low-heavy...

That's kind of like asking what flavor of ice cream you should get haha. If you're gonna be doing MIDI I'd definitely recommend Logic, but otherwise it's really which layout you like more and which is easier for you to navigate around. In my personal opinion, I would go with Logic, since I've...

have you installed a driver? If not, your computer cannot communicate with it. If you have, your computer should recognize it, and then you can go to preferences//audio, and then select your interface as your "output device". Hope that helped!

I use a laptop and everything runs very smoothly, but then again we have 8GB's of RAM and 2TB worth of storage haha. The only difference between laptops and desktops is size and sometimes some specs. But agreeing with grimtraveller, a bigger monitor will definitely help you a lot, you can get a...

awesome, that looks like it fits all my needs, thank you so much! I'll definitely consider getting that one

Sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong category, I couldn't decide whether i should post this in Digital or Analog recording, haha Recently I've been wanting to use more analog equipment in my setup (outboard gear, mixers, etc). I got a couple mic pre's, and now I want to get a mixer for my...

Thank you everyone for your responses! And I'm sorry I forgot to mention what style of music My main clientele and my bands are punk/metal/hardcore

the guitar link cable is probably good if you're just looking to simply record something and you aren't worried about quality. If you want good quality, get a USB or Firewire interface such as a Presonus Firepod.

Yeah, try the 'real' mic, and if that still doesn't work another idea might be to get an outboard EQ and experiment with it to see what frequency that hum is and try to cut it out? That might affect the sound of what you're recording though, but it might work. I might also be wrong, so someone...

My friend is giving me a Pearl Export Series drum kit, it's in good condition but I'm getting new heads just to be safe. What are some drum heads that you guys recommend?

thank you so much for the response, is there anything else you recommend I do?

I hate to just jump into this argument, but here's my position: Digital recording gear is much easier for the "common musician" to get simply because its cheaper. Get a decent mic for $100, audio interface for roughly the same price, and a decent software. Sometimes that's all that people want...

In my opinion, my recording room is the worst for recording ever, but its the only one I have. It's in my parents basement, all the walls are completely isolated, the walls are all parallel to each other, and there's carpeting on the floors. So no natural reverb, and dull sounding everything...

If you want a good guitar tone don't use effects pedals or computer software, that's the opposite of what you want to do.

Honestly, you aren't going to get an amazing interface for roughly $100, but you can get something that will work. Fast Track would probably be your best, I also am I fan of Presonus interface, and they have a 2 channel interface with phantom power. You might want to check those out, but with...

I currently have 2 Audix F-15's that I'm using for overheads, but I think I'm ready to start getting some new mics for my studio and I was wondering what mics you guys recommend I check out for overhead mics? Also, I have an AKG D112 but I'm not a big fan of it, honestly. Any other mic I should...

I'm trying to find a drum sampling software, I understand how drumagog works but it's a tad too expensive for my budget. Do the Toontrack software's act as "trigger" software for drums, or are they just simply for drum samples for creating your own drum beats and whatnot? I'm wondering because...

ohh haha so basically, if a mixer supports it, I can record through a mixer and get it to be individual tracks on my recording software? or would it just be one stereo track or something?
