I've always heard that condensor mics are the best for acoustic guitar, but then a few days ago, a guy who has experience in recording/live shows says the shure sm57 is the standard for recording acoustic guitars, so I'm wondering, to record my acoustic guitar, should I use my 57, olr my studio...

Anyone ever used this before? Is it any good? It seems pretty identical to the studio Projects b1 from what I can tell.

I already have a software compressor that came with my cubase software that works pretty good, but I've heard that vocals, unlike guitars, should be compressed as they're being recorded. So, even though I have a software compressor, should I still buy a hardware compressor, keeping in mind it...

Ok, so I finally finished a song I've been work on. So, naturally, I then wanted to do the mixdown. I went to look on that little portable tool bar thing so that I could set the left and right locaters, but it wasn't there. I tried to figure out how to restore it, but couldn't, So I did the only...

1. I've heard you're supposed to compress vocals at the recording stage and compress a guitar after you've recorded it. Is this correct? What about bass? 2. Should I run the whole song through the compresor as well as compressing individual tracks?

Anybody ever tried this? Earlier today, I was just messing around in my basement studio. I got bored and just made a random drum loop on my comp. Then, liking it, I hooked up to record bass and I started to play a bass part to it on tthe spot withut even thinking what I wanted to play before I...

Do you guys ever have a pop filter where the gooseneck just won't bend the way you want? What do you do to fix it? What do you guys clip them on to? The mic stand or part of the mic? Do you guys prefer the screens or the condom types?

1.Stereo Split and Stereo Interleaved. Whats the difference? 2. I should mixdown in stereo,not mono, right? 3. I should still hear the different pan positions when I micdown in stereo, right? 4. For burning to CD's, do you guys prefer to use AIFF or WAV? Why? 5. When I mixdown in an Mp3...

Somebody help me. I can't figure out how to load a VST effect I just downloaded into Cubase LE.

Okay, I'm looking at some blackfoot and Staind songs on my itunes. For sizes I'mm seeing 3.4 MB, 4.5 MB, that range. I think The largest song I have is 7.7 MB. Now I'm looking at a song a mize recently. It's just a christian singer/songwriter. Acoustic guitar and vocals. It's 19 MB. How do I get...

Anyone here know of a free vst, cubase-compatible Reverb unit that's good for ambience and that sort of hushed silence sound after syllables, NOT a room simulation unit. I have a good Room Simulation unit already.

Ok, I know you've all answered this question before, but I've already tried the search function and found nothing. Sometimes, in my songs, my vocals get covered up by the instruments. Even When I turn the fader up on my vocals, they still aren't distinguished enough from my guitars. I've heard...

If I plug a mixer into my firebox, Cubase will only record one track, correct? Once I have that track recorded, will Cubase let me dissolve it into seperate channels?

I used to think there was only Condensor and Dynamic Mic's. Then I hear about Ribbon Mics. What are they? How do they work? What are they used for?

Why do I keep hearing channel 10 is best for MIDI drums? Why is it any better than 7 or 3?

How do you get your voice to sound like that nice, baritone sound that is, like, slightly....dirty and grungy? It's hard to describe. Not screaming, but you get a little dirt with the pitch. Ok, I suck at describing this, so let me just give you some bands with this vocal sound and maybe you'll...

I'm thinking of purchasing a Tube preamp to warm up my sound. How much would I have to spend on one until it was as good as or better quality than one of the preamps in my firebox?

I've heard saturators can warm up your sound, so I'm considering downloading several different free VST saturators to find a decnt one, since I record digitally and don't have any tube preamps, but I'm just wondering something. Are saturators more of effects, or are they unseen tools, like...

Anyone in here have advice on how I can boost the low wend on my vocals without loasing presence, such as ertain frequencies to boost and deibel levels?

Anyone know hoe to get the Rverb unit on LE give me a sound on my vocals that has the majesric silence, i guess you'd describe it like that, without giving the vocals a cold, echoey, roomy sound?
