How important is the quality of the sounds from the keyboard? Like is the quality of the effect only as good as the sound pack in the keyboard? Is it difficult to formulate full words? Looking to do something similar to Roger Troutman. Do you have to play actual proper notes? Or are you just...

Over the years, I've really wanted to try out a talk box for recording cool choruses, but I've always been confused on exactly how it works. I presume it's complicated because I've barely seen anyone try it. I've watched several YouTube videos and the explanations aren't great. Is a Dunlop...

I had a Cloudlifter too. There was a large amount of noise/static in the background and the overall feel of the vocal was flat as wood. It's possible the place I bought it from sold me a knock off. Hard to say.

This is interesting to know. That said, I can hear limitations in quality on All Eyez On Me. I always thought the vocals sounded a bit off. They are warm and lack some clarity that his other recordings have. Deathrow had some great sounding records though. Especially The Dogg Pound Dogg Food...

What would you recommend? I've read reviews for some of their more advanced models and they mentioned recordings sounding flat. Like good for acoustic stuff but not necessarily energized vocals. There were two things I didn't like about the 4040. Sibilance was strong and recordings sounded bad...

Thanks for the info. I haven't heard of some of these. The pricing from the company that I usually order from is $8,400, but they are out of stock. I didn't know about the two year wait. It says to "contact for assistance." I'm not going to wait 2 years... Lol.... I can get a C100 for $1,000...

Thanks. Will do tomorrow.

I noticed my waveforms have looked odd the last couple of songs. They look similar to this picture... I learned today this is called DC offset. Is that more likely an amp or mic issue?

What are the best rap mics in the 1-5k range? Currently, I have an NT1-A that I run through a cheap tube amp. I like the brightness, but the highs are very thin/metallic/harsh. I had a AT4040 as a kid and really liked it. Thought it had a nice shine to it. I had a SM7B and hated it. My...

Thanks, but I'm not an electronics guy. What you wrote sounds like a foreign language to me. We have zero repair shops for anything like this around here. You think it's unlikely to be a simple tube problem and more likely an issue with the motherboard? I had another of these break about a...

I like a slight tube sound. I've always recorded with it on 1 or 2. It cuts through an instrumental better. Could a messed up tube mess with the volume levels bar? That's what I find strange... Regardless of the input volume it never glows more than the first green bar.

Mine appears to have broken. The level bar doesn't light up and the sound quality is a little off. It's almost as if it's clipping even at super low volume levels. Maybe the tube is going bad? I have a NT1-A mic. It used to sound amazing, but now IMO it sounds pretty metallic. Like the last 3-4...

Thanks. I've used this before in Premiere, but there's a specific menu for keyframes. I'm not familiar where in Audition this is located. I'll check it out tomorrow. Thanks for the tip.

If I have an instrument or vocal and I want it to gradually go down in octave over the period of like 30 seconds is there a way to do this without messing with the tempo or time? If so, what plugin would I need or how exactly would I do this? I'm using Adobe Audition. Thanks for your help

I've recorded a few more songs since this post. It definitely has something to do with the m-audio drivers/software. If I close/reopen the program when I'm having issues, it'll temporarily fix the program. Strangely, sometimes it takes 3-4 times of doing that. That said, I also tried using...

Right, but using something like this would enable me to use less compression on my vocals. Which is what I'd prefer to do. I've had it for years, but I was using it for a different function. Never tried the write feature. I'm going to experiment with it. Hopefully it works on a bus because it...

Thanks. His process makes sense, to simply go down in volume instead of up and down. This way breaths can be kept very low without it increasing them. Instead it just reduces the peaks, which is what I'm looking to do. This way the vocal is evened out before ever applying a compressor or...

Anytime I've used normalization, it simply takes a measure of the loudest part of the track and then matches from there. The problem with my vocals are the large peaks. Like the peaks in some places are 6 db louder than the rest of the clip. I'm trying to find a quick/easy way to reduce those...

The newest driver/m-audio program doesn't allow you to select bit depth or sample rate. Just buffer/latency, but it states it's running in 44100 and the bit depth default is 24. In Audition, my session is 44100 and the only options are 16 bit or 32 bit for recording/mixng. I have 32 bit...

That would just normalize the overall volume of the entire clip right? It wouldn't treat each word of a clip? The vocals aren't the same volume because the performance is very aggressive rap. Meaning some words are much louder than others. Lots of punch ins. I also use multiple...
