I think this would be under pop or hip/hop if it had to be labeled (or comedy). It's my first time recording someone other than myself and even so I sing the chorus on it because they asked me too. I did this for my friends. It should be done now. I'd like to know how the recording is and how...

I got it for free when I bought my sound card but rarely bust it out? What are the best uses for it? Should I just sell it on ebay?

And where do I submit my recordings for it? I think I could submit some interesting tracks you probably wouldn't normally hear from this board, even with its vast array of talent.

does anyone have a sure-fire way of writing GREAT melodies? does anyone have a formula they use? it's easy to make songs sound good with good backing or a chorus to make it catchy (even if it's not a GREAT chorus)... you can use studio tricks like effects or double tracking... but if you just...

this is a rough demo... no effects, and I hate my voice, but how is the songwriting? particularly the lyrics, the rhythm, and the melody. I don't really know what genre this would be in. thanks! http://www.coolprofile.com/tiredoflife.mp3

now this is not fully complete. I will be adding a drum beat to the background once the chorus kicks in for the first time and applause will be added to the beginning and end. tell me how the mix is... does anything need to be improved? this is an original song. they wanted me to sing the hook...

how do you set up when recording an electric guitar, mic'ing the amp? professional recordings sound like they are clean (even when distorted) and they are perfectly spaced, with the right amount of depth. I have a Shure SM57 a Studio Projects B1 and a matched pair of Oktava MK012's... I have...

I have a "vocal booth" with the following specs: It's 4x6' and about 8 feet high. The floor has ben raised about 1 inch and filled in with sand, then plywood was placed over this. The walls are made of drywall and have 6 inches worth of regular insulation stuffed into a 3 inch area surrounding...

what sort of arrangement do I do with this song? how should I record it? how is the song itself? just give me any help. download: The only one

this is not THAT big a deal, but it always worries me. the stand attachment that came with it was scarred on the inside, so it never fully tightens before it gets off its track and loose again. so I really have to position it properly so it doesn't flip over and fall out (the mic that is)...

I got this free with my Aardvark Direct Pro 24/96

this is probably the dumbest post I've ever made, but I recently purchased an aardvark direct pro 24/96 and it has great quality recording capability... but my problem is that after having recorded one track, I go to record another track (and of course I have the other one playing in my...

I've got a Shure SM57, and a Sutdio Projects B1... I'd like to know how to place them on... an acoustic guitar, a single speaker amplifier for electric clean or distorted, a cabinet (half stack) for electric clean or distorted, on a piano (not a grand piano, but an upright), and a human...

I know sound travels slower in colder environments... does it affect how the microphone picks up the sound? Anyone have any experiences with this?

does anyone know what kind of mic's/setup the beatles used on their first album "please please me"? I know it was only a 4 track recorder... analog of course. I heard before they only used one mic to mic drums... anyone know the arrangement/setup of it all and what types of mics?

which is better, matched pair or stereo pair? stereo pair seems a few dollars more than the matched. at least where I've looked.

what are some methods of pushing yourself to be more creative lyrically and musically? when have you gone to far? when do you know if it's really good material? answer me, please. how do producers (such as rick rubin) get it out of you.

what capsule should I buy if I'm on a budget and want to get the mk012's... I know there are three... which would be most useful for recording overhead for drums/acoustic guitar or mic'ing a room

after reviewing several other threads on this board... I have narrowed down the best of 3 types of microphone cables monster cable star quad cable (not really a brand apparently) blue kiwi microphone cable...

I write and play alternative or rock music... I'm used to recording this. How does one go about recording rap? Is the track mostly synthesized... or do some use live instruments? What techniques are used? For some reason this hip-hop type hook came into my head and I was interested in exploring it.
