Does anyone know how to rip a song from a vocal track so that the only thing used will be the vocals?? I realize that due to all the mixing that goes on in studios that this will not be perfect with maybe a few instruments bleeding in but I dont mind that. If anyone could help, I really want...

Hey everyone : ) Does anyone know how to get that effect tht all the rappers are doing nowadays where the voice slows down, usually on one word, and it kinda has a "eerrww" type sound to it? This is difficult to explain but it's on almost any modern rap song. I do have both autotune and...

I'm looking into a new vocal condensor for around $2-300.. just wondering what you guys would suggest. What have you used and been amazed?? with.. I know there are some good mics out there for such a price. I use: -an epiphone masterbuilt guitar -In the past I've used a SM58, and an MXL 909...

Is it an excepted technique to run drums through a preamp..for instance overheads one channel...kick...snare...toms etc...Or do you just ad compression and things later on? Just asking:D

A friend and I have been experimenting with Melodyne...I was just wondering if anyone has ever used this program(plugin) and had any tips/tricks for us as we are still figuring it out. It is like autotune..and from what i can understand it shows you they key of your notes and how far they vary...

I wanted to post a song or two that i have been recording and see what you guys think. I know first of all that there is problems with the low end..it sounds good on my moniters but when i put it in my truck it sounds "rumbly". The drums where tracked on one channel so there is only editing...

I'm tracking drums with a tube ultrasound pre, and a lexicaon alpha interface. My question to everyone is what mics you would put onto the pre (2 oh, 1 snare, 1kick, 2 toms). And how you would use the interface, I currently run the whole mix from a mixer, into the interface in stereo(because...

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has any experience/tips with the tube ultra sound preamp from Behringer. It has added a good bit of gain and warmth to my recordings. I would also like to know if I could plug it into a mixer and let it effect my whole mix, instead of the two channels it has. I...

I've recorded a very good piano player Sunday and I want the recording to reflect her playing (obviously), but I'm having a few problems. 1. If the sound gets a bit loud it seems to overbear my speakers, its not clipping but it has almost the same effect on my ears. I think this is being...

I've always been working torwards this snare sound, and i hope you guys can help. He always has a huge roomy snare sound that still has plenty of punch. I have no idea how to get it, so after two years of trying I decided to turn it over to you guys. There might not even be many underoath...

I think I've come up with a pretty good technique for recording drums w/out an interface but havn't got to try it out yet. I record with a 6 channel mixer into the computer..with all the mics going to one channel into the recording program..therefore I cant edit the tracks individually. Here's...

I'm trying to develop a better understanding of soundcards. I am currently using just a simple dell computer and havn't upgraded the soundcard. If i do chose to I have some questions: 1) Will this enhance my recordings? 2) How much would this cost?(the computer is 05-06' w/ windows xp) 3)Is...

I've been fighting with recording my guitar for months now. Everything else in my mixes are axactly how i want it. I was wondering what you would do. I have a huge room (high ceilings and its also very long). I've tried just micing it(sm58, sm57, sennenheiser??,and whatever else i have)...

I heard that if you really want to make great music than you need Pro Tools...while I know this may not be true I've looked into it a little and heard about it a lot. I was just wondering if there is a cheaper version with quality, or most of all what program would you prefer?
