I have some wav files I want to burn to cd and I understand I should normalize them. I am using Soundedit Pro and don't know what kind of level I should normalize to. Should all the tunes be at the same level?

This is a song I wrote and recorded in about an hour and its a little strange in that there is only one verse and one chorus and its very short. But when I got done I didn't want to change anything. I like being a little off. Wanted to know what the songwriters here thought. Its called I...

I just wrote and recorded this and I like it alot. Want to get some objective feedback because I'm probably in love with my own shadow. I think the mix came out OK. I certainly can't do any better on my own. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2716&alid=-1

Last night I picked this mic pre up last night. I plugged it in and had the gains down and was careful about levels, but I still heard a ton of distortion. Does the tube need a while to warm up? What the heck is going on?

Anyone know of a good starting price on mic pres that don't sound like junk?

Anybody have any opinions on the S com compressors?

The other night I wrote, recorded and mixed this song in about 2 hours. Lyrics were made up on the spot. I actually like how it came out. What do you think? Does it need anything? I miss you http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2716&alid=-1

I'd like some opinions on where to place a vocal track. I usually record the vocal on a mono track but last night I decided to go on a stereo track and, with effects applied, I noticed a big difference. Would you recommend doing this all the time?

Posted a short acoustic tune that I would like some mix feedback on. I'm not sure about the effects on vocals so please give me a yea or nea on those. I was going to wait posting due to recent discussions on post volume but this was sitting on my pc gathering dust so here it is...

This gave me a lot of problems as this is the first heavy tune I tried on my recorder. Had a lot of trouble getting the vocals out front but I think I fixed it wth a little help from chorus doubling and double tracking parts. Any advice on mixing this kind of composition would be helpful...

I posted these in the mixing clinic and wouldn't mind some songwriting comments as well. Sorry if you are all the same people. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2716&alid=-1

Thanks for the help on my first post which I am retouching. In the meantime I put another one up for review. All comments are welcome. This is a fresh recording of the first song I ever wrote when I was 16 (way back in 1983). I'm calling it Rain for the post. I'm still concerned about my...

On advice from the folks in the mixing/mastering discussion I am posting the link to my first mixed song here. http://www.nowhereradio.com/artists/album.php?aid=2716&alid=-1 I'm aware of the bum notes in the vocal performance but any comments on the mix would be helpful. Keep in mind I'm...

This is my first attempt at a real mix. I would love to hear comments on what a lousy job I did and how I could make it less lousy. Really, I think it sounds ok but I need some experienced ears. I recorded all the instruments and programmed the drums into a Zoom 1044 digital recorder with a...

I'm new to this but one problem I have is when mixing I feel like my vocals are standing out too much in the mix rather than blending in nicely. I am recording to a mono track and that might be a problem if reverb effects added later are in stereo. Other than that are there any techniques to...

I've seen some threads here bashing the Behringer B-1, but what about the B-2? Any opinions based on objective sound quality (as opposed to populist politics)?

I just got the Zoom 1044 digital recorder and am using a Shure SM58 mic for vocals plugged directly into the machine. However I'm concerned that I'm getting too much hiss because the level needs to be high if I want to maintain a 6-10 inch distance from the mic when singing. Do I need a mic...
