I'm still quite new to the recording world and was going to need to ask this question some time or another, so I thought I'd ask now. I just finished recording a song, mixing it , and mastering it at my best ability. My question is: how do you export a song? I know you can convert it into an mp3...

Thank you both for your help! I'm sure ya'll laughed when reading this, haha. I'll probably stick to my headphones and or hifi speakers for now until that glorious day comes. :)

haha, thanks for the response! Most musicians are a bit wacky anyways, so I imagine great success. :)

First off, thanks for the response! If you check the top, I've added some extra information about what I've tried so far (not too much). To answer your questions: -I'm using an acoustic electric 114ce. -The song is very much Johnny Cash inspired, so there isn't any big robust strums. If any...

For starters, thank you for the response! All of this information is really helpful. I added some extra info at the top about what I've tried so far: (I've recorded my acoustic just by plugging it into the interface. I want to try and use the SM57 though. I'm hearing alot about using two mics...

I really loved the information that the Acoustic Guitar Recording 101 gave me, but being new to the recording world, I still have a few questions of my own. I'm recording a song that has a very Johnny Cash inspired rhythm acoustic guitar. It's such a good song and I want to give it all that I...

I was searching through the topics and posts in the forum when I came across a lot of different opinions about recording in -DB numbers. I've heard numbers from -6db to -24db. Being a "newb", I'm unsure where to set my numbers at. I'm currently using around -12.3db. What would you recommend...

I'm quite new to the recording world and have heard a lot about monitors lately. I read in this forum that while studio headphones are useful, they aren't going to help you as much as monitors will when it comes to mixing and mastering a song. I know that monitors can range from $100 - 500+, but...

haha! I actually wanted to find out if they had a "dummies" book about recording, so thank you! I'm sure the jab's will keep flowing from this topic, but I don't mind. haha :)

Back in December 2011, I started my journey with the recording world. Unfortunately, horrible gear held me back from being able to explore and grow as a recording artist. Now that I have new gear, I'm ready to start making music! Being a newbie to the recording world has one of the biggest...

Ohh good lord, haha. I've already had a bad experience in just buying on a whim in the recording world. I've found that you lose a lot of money that way. Some people can afford to do it, others, like myself, can't. My apologies if I've offended anyone with all my questions, lol. I just like...

I completely get what you're saying... Turns out that the competition doesn't end with clothing and cars! I'll definitely be taking all of your advice on this one. Thank you for taking the time to respond! On a random side note, I can't get over the fact that I'm able to reach people from all...

I must start by saying you all have great memories ^ haha! And you are correct. I had PTSE that came with a bundle, and it turned out to hurt me more than help me... Honestly, I really didn't mind the set up of PT. It was just that horrific white noise that the PTSE produced. I was slowly but...

Thanks for the advice :) I'm grateful for all of your help!

What do you think about the DAW that comes with the 2i2? I think it's Ableton Live Lite 8?
