Will they improve sense of pitch? range? strength of voice? all the above? Here's my dilemma: like many here, I'm stuck recording my own demos without a singer to work with. I like my voice on some parts, but not on others. It's not even a question of range. On some higher parts I like it and on...

Hey quick question. Right now I'm recording demos with an HP 8200 Elite Small Form Factor desktop, with an intel i3 dual core processor with a speed of 3.10 ghz. It's pretty quiet as far as desktops go. So much so that when I'm recording a scratch track vocal in the same room (using an AKG...

Hey all, I'm looking for a large diaphragm condenser mic for vocals and acoustic guitar for home recording. I don't have room treatment up yet, but I do have an Editor's Keys portable vocal recording 'booth', which actually seems to work pretty well. I'd like to get a condenser because I want to...

Ok, I'm a home recording newbie. I'm still experimenting with trying to get good recorded tone at home. The tunes where I've been the most successful is when I've had the guitar amps and the singer in one particular room. Unfortunately, it's the room where my daw is set up. Dang! Those...

Hi all, I'm working on an original rock tune in the key of G major, and there's a section just before the chorus that I'm struggling trying to figure out chords for. The melody has a little chromatic run, and I need suggestions for which chords to play behind it. The section starts with an F...

Anyone know of a male rock vocalist who would be willing/able to record their lead vocal on my demo tunes if I sent them the wav file of the instrumental tracks? Not looking to spend a ton of money. Thinking maybe $30-$40 per tune, at least to start. Not looking for metal singers or R&B or pop...

Just got a pair of JBL LSR 305 studio monitor speakers. My audio's coming out of a zoom r8 with balanced left and right outputs. The JBL's have two balanced in's: XLR or TRS. Does it make any difference soundwise which I use?

Quick question: will an audio clip recorded at 48khz/24 bit rate and then converted to 44.1khz/16 bit rate sound as good as a clip originally recorded at 44.1/16 bit? I'd bet probably not. Thoughts?

crap, this is making me wish I had waited before ordering a reamper. Any word on when this will be available for purchase? fryette valvulator gp/di

Hi all, quick question. I did my first reamping experiment over the weekend. I didn't have a whole lot of time so I couldn't experiment as much as I wanted, but I did have one question about the results I've gotten so far. The reamped tracks have just a little bit of a hollow, ever so slightly...

Newbie question: do all tracks in a project have to be recorded at the same bit and sample rate? What happens if they're not? If I'm going to mix the whole thing down to 44,100 hz, 16 bit rate anyway, does it matter? By the way, I'm using Cubase LE on a pc with a zoom r8 for an interface. Thanks!

Ok, so here goes my questions for the second half of the reamping scenario. Let's say it's time to actually do the reamping and that I plan on using a unit like the radial x-amp (with the active circuitry). I'm using a Zoom R8 as an interface to my pc (I'm running cubase LE). The Zoom has a pair...

Quick question about reamping electric guitars (fenders, all passive pickups). I just started reading about this topic and thought it might be interesting to experiment with. I'm only going to ask about the first half of the equation at this point (recording the dry signal), just to make sure I...

Hi all, I need some help. I'm looking to try out different DI boxes to record my amps direct. I have a Weber Mini Mass so I have my dummy load/attenuator needs taken care of. I'd like to get one with a speaker sim just so I have one if needed, but I'm currently experimenting with using IR's for...

So I was listening to clips of the Two Notes Torpedo CAB unit on youtube. I was trying to find clips where it was used for recording purposes, not in a live situation. Anyway, there was one clip that was pretty lengthy where the guy posted a full tune with all lead and rhythm parts recorded with...

Hey looking for some advice. I have two fenders (strat and a tele) and a silver faced champ. I'm taking the signal from the champ into a Behringer Ultra G speaker sim/direct box (in conjunction with a weber mini mass so I don't blow up my champ). From the Behringer (which has one xlr output) I...

Hey I'm looking at these a little bit and wondering if anybody's using something like this for recording vocals either at home or on the road? Do they make a difference? Not sure if they're worth $100 but looks like I could make a homemade version fairly easily? editor's keys "portable vocal...

Hi all, quick question. I have several tunes copyrighted under my real name, but I'd like to transfer those registrations to a pseudonym. How do I do that? Also, should I trademark the pseudonym? Should I try to find out if it's being used by someone else? If so, how do I do that? Thanks!

Hey all, anybody use these to record direct? I record with cubase LE on a windows 8 machine with a zoom r8 as an interface. I need to get a good direct electric sound because most of my recording time will be at night when my wife and kid are in bed. I'm a big fan of overdrive bassman and vox...

I just picked up a zoom r8 to use as an interface with Cubase le on a windows machine. I'm not using the zoom as any kind of physical controller, it's strictly being used as an interface only. The R8 comes with two manuals, one for using the unit as a standalone recorder and one for using it as...
