    Does anyone slice up their vocal tracks and level match each syllable or note?

    First off, screw tutorials that say there is an 'only' one way to do anything. There is no 'one' simple way to deal with any vocal. Ever. Especially vocalists that we may not feel that are 'vocalists'.. Depending on the type of vocal or whatever genre it is, it is always different. I...

    Distortion

    I would suggest try it without distortion on cymbals and the kick. Keep the low/high instrument drive more realistic and experiment on the mid range with distortion. The tune is cool, but it just kinda loses feel with so much in the distorted mosh. Best!

    Distortion

    The worst part for me, is the distortion on the cymbals. Maybe try more sparingly distorting certain parts of the mix. So yeah, to your question. Too much...

    Recording issues

    Hello Mak, It is tough to troubleshoot your issue. I would guess it could be that you haven't installed the ASIO driver software for the Alto, or haven't selected it in whatever DAW you are using. Oh shit, it looks like this unit uses the built in Windows audio drivers. That in itself is a bad...

    Why aren't my vocals cutting through the mix?

    I am a big fan of this Howard Benson Vocals Bundle plug-in if you have $99 to spend. Simple to use. All kinds of cool vocal chain things from compression/limiter/EQ de-esser and saturation, to widener, doubler, delay and even a button you can automate for quick 'LOFI' sound. It is my go to plug...

    Acoustic treatment advice

    Foam is expensive and only helps with flutter echo to like 2k. Your most important issue after reflections is going to be the low end. You are basically almost screwed there for perfection, but things can be done to improve the space. Are you handy? Can you build a frame out of wood? Do...

    Audiobox USB96 Problem ??

    No experience with that interface myself. Go through basic steps first. Try to see if there is a driver update for your device and system. https://legacy.presonus.com/support/downloads I have heard a few times about USB ports settings can go to sleep. I have never experienced it with my PC's...

    Acoustic panels or acoustic foam? Room treatment

    This kind of depends on what space you have in your room. What size is it? Are the corners open space? Small spaces and square rooms are the worst for controlling low end. The room modes can make it virtually impossible the get rid of peaks and nulls. That does not mean it can't be improved...

    Preamps. What mic preamps are you using? Discuss them.

    That is mostly all I do in my studio is record other peoples broken dreams. LOL! I kid... I often play drums, bass or triangle when needed. Have been rehearsing with my band members from my 90's rock band. Hope to record some new stuff and some things that were never recorded correctly. Kinda...

    Preamps. What mic preamps are you using? Discuss them.

    I have had great results with the preamps in my two Steinberg UR824's. I do use a Vintech Audio X73i as my sweet channel for basically everything that gets tracked after drums. And use it on snare when recording a whole kit. I also have used a Behri ADA8000 to get to 24 tracks if needed while...
