    How do I make a headset mic line level?

    It's a headset, so two of the connections are for the stereo headphones.

    How do I make a headset mic line level?

    I may have misread. I was under the impression that your current adapter situation had already split the signal out, and you were just trying to get the signal to the right level.

    How do I make a headset mic line level?

    A DI box should do it.

    When would one use plugins?

    The primary plugins I highly recommend learning to use are compression, EQ, and reverb. Obviously, Audacity (like every DAW) comes with built-in implementations of these. Alternate versions of these same plugins can accomplish different things and affect your workflow and results in various...

    Can I damage my electric guitar amplifier by drumming on acoustic guitar and sending to amp?

    It shouldn't as long as you're not overloading the amp in any other ways. e.g. if you're boosting the signal too much with pedals before it gets to the amp or if you have the amp turned up too loud for its own capabilities edit: typo

    Best way to drive download sales?

    Play a genre that appeals to older folks. My band that did 80s style glam rock always sold more downloads than any other project

    How do you tell what to keep and what to toss from a lyrics perspective?

    Why do you need to throw anything out? They're in a notebook; they can fester there as long as they need to until you find a song to put them in. If you think a line has potential; write it into a song. If the song doesn't turn out, let it go and move on to the next one. Maybe adapt the parts...

    How do I find the right copyright owner?

    Have you already checked with the Harry Fox Agency? That's usually the simplest way to get licenses cleared for general use. Otherwise, your digital distributor (distrokid, cd baby, etc.) may have an option to handle licensing for you. Otherwise, some of the platforms (youtube, etc.) should...

    Reverb buss

    All those sends are _very_ quiet. Might it just be that the actual reverb is inaudible in the mix?

    Reaper Effects Question

    If adjusting FX settings doesn't get you the same result you were getting in a different DAW, you might try messing around with your pan law settings. (alt+enter to bring up project settings; then look under the advanced tab)

    DistroKid ? ?

    I don't think that's a violation of anyone's Terms of Service. You pay Spotify for the right to stream music that's in their library. Which music that is, and how often you listen should be immaterial. Unless you had 4 devices simultaneously looping your music 24 hours a day; that would look...

    DistroKid ? ?

    Did you get a sudden, massive spike in listeners? If you have an unexplainably large uptick in listeners, it can look like bots.

    Layering exact same sound to add volume?

    If you make no other changes, it will just be louder. It could introduce phase issues if you don't line it up exactly tho. It may be easier to just make everything else quieter instead tho.

    Working with a very dynamic singer

    Yeah, multi-tracking. If she's able to perform very consistently (in terms of both pitch and timing), you can stack a bunch of vocal parts on top of each other, and it will have a compressing effect on the dynamics overall. You can bring the tracks in and out as needed to adjust the arrangement...

    Does this guitar sound heavy?

    Eh... kinda? Your mix is lacking in the low-end tho. Also, riffs don't really sound heavy by modern standards. To be "heavy" these days, you more or less need to play insanely fast or sludgily slow.

    How to get a clean/clear vocal recording?

    From what you're describing, it sounds like you are getting a clear recording. Fixing it at the source might be a matter of a clearer vocal delivery. If the raspiness you're hearing is quiet relative to the rest of your vocal sound, moving the microphone farther away from yourself might help.

    Critique my Wall instrumental please

    INCOALMO? So you have to write another 45 minutes of original material to finish the challenge? (Also, why did they make a new version of RPM/FAWM?) Anyway, the mix sounds fine overall. The delay seems to be throwing your guitar time off a little when you get to the outro of part 1.

    String tension and scale length

    Yeah. Think of the comparison between a guitar and a bass. The guitar has a much shorter scale. If you wanted to tune the E down to match the bass' you'd have to reduce the tension by a considerable amount

    What's your technique for recording stereo sources?

    I was about to say. From the audience's perspective, the piano is much more likely to function as a single point sound source and be shaped by the room. I guess with grand pianos, the shape of the lid probably affects the panning of someone standing close to the instrument's side, but the...

    AutoTune LIVE

    I find being in key is way easier with IEMs. If you have some modicum of control of your mix, you can dime your own voice and whatever instruments you need for reference. (Sorry guitarist, but you're basically muted) I find that I fugue out way more and can have trouble connecting with the crowd...
