Hi, i'm new to this forum and have several questions about various recording and mixing processes. Any help is appreciated!
1. In most popular recordings the vocals for a chorus seem to be panned out in stereo, as to give more depth to the vocals. Am I mistaken or is this called "stereomicing?" How would I go about doing this?
2. When recording drumkits, where exactly should the mic be placed in correlation to the kit? Most recordings have the snare in the middle, with the hihats, tomtoms etc on the outside channels, how is this done if you're recording everything at once?
3. I'm wondering if my new laptop has the sysreqs for good recording, here are the specs:
Inspiron I6400
1.6GHz processor
1022 MB of RAM
32-bit OS
SigmaTel High Definition Audio (Soundcard, I think?)
Thankyou!
