Thanks for the info! Honestly, with a house full of wife and kids now, headphones WOULD be easier for me. I really had it in my head that monitors would be better, but maybe at such a low target price, I should rethink that. So.. the HD280's look very pleasing - far more and better reviews on...

No one has any experience with any of these? I've been through all the reviews and none really stand out to me. M-Audio I've had problems with their stuff in the past (Fast Track audio interface isn't that great). There are a lot of companies I've never heard of and I'll probably avoid them...

So many "studio monitors" out there in the ~$100 (set) price range. Recommendations? Yes, I know the ~$100 is not ideal, but this is my price range. I just record for myself, I'm not trying to record commercial music with these. I was in bands for 15 years and now I just want to write and...

Yes, yes, they're probably considered low end by most everyone, but I am on an extreme budget and I NEED something to mix with. I'm just some guy, I have no delusions that I'm going to record the next Metallica album or anything. Opinions? Recommendations for the ultra-cheap range?

It's all about mastering, and it takes years to.. master. For a total noob (this includes myself as well), you can either pay someone else to master your track, or get software to do it. The software can be pricey, and elitists look down their nose at using mastering software's "presets", but...

Well.. I THINK I've turned it on.. Can you explain a little further in case there's something I'm missing? Thank you in advance.

As I said in the original post: Tutorials I watched were able to bump up vocal tracks enough for some (albiet bad sounding) harmonies, and I can't even get a slight change in my robot voice track. So frustrating...

Just trying to take a dry monotone bit of computer generated "robot" dialogue and put different words at the different notes I want.

I'd agree if I was using it for vocals.

I'm not getting anything from either of them so I'm thinking it's maybe something I'm doing wrong with Reaper. I'm pretty new to all of this. I know how to get the vst going and everything, but I'll open either Auto Tune or G-snap, change stuff around, and I'm getting little to no changes in...

I should have mentioned that I haven't been using Reaper long. Do I need to make a separate track and have the one track send to the other or something? I'm fairly sure that my inexperience with Reaper is what's causing this.

What am I doing wrong with AutoTune? (this is not a "just learn to sing" thing) Ok, not familiar with autotune at all, but I've been kicking around an idea for a while of using a few lines of computer-rendered speech, the more robotic the better, and then after stretching and spacing the...

Basically I was hoping to keep the interface/preamp under $200. That's my main concern at the moment, getting opinions on which ones are liked here. I read the copy/paste post I saw here a few times that seems to suggest the presonus firestudio mobile. $300 new is a little more that I was...

When I say nothing, I mean as far as recording equipment. I've been a musician for many (many) years and have been recorded a lot but I have never been behind the controls before. I'm sure this has been posted here before but I didn't see it on the first few pages, so here goes: I'm going to...
