On the song where you used the other composer's music, the credit should read: Lyrics: Shack (or your real name) Music: Original composer's name It's that simple. Jeff

If you can swing an extra $100 (over and above the firewire interface cost), you might consider the Presonus Firepod, which will give you eight simultaneous channels, all with mic preamps. It's $600 nearly everywhere and I recently got one with a free headphone amp bundled with it. BTW: You...

What software are you running? You should be able to select Input 1 or Input 2 somewhere. At least that's how it shows up in Cubase. You did load the driver and select it, right? There's a couple of things to explore until people with more knowledge get here to provide some real help.

You'll probably get more replies if you post it in the MP3 Mixing Clinic area. Jeff

If your amp head has a line out, you would run that into a line input (channel 3-8) on your Firepod. A speaker out would overpower your inputs on the Firepod and might blow it out. If you want to run your guitar directly into the Firepod (which you probably don't but I'll describe it anyway...

A Firepod has instrument and line level inputs, as well as the mic preamps. Why would you need a direct box?

TRS stands for Tip-Ring-Sleeve. It's a 3-conductor connector (like a stereo headphone plug), which, in an Insert jack, breaks out the signal into send and return. An insert cable will have the TRS connector on one end and will split into 2 cables, each with a TS (tip-sleeve) connector. One...

Use the line out.

It's called a mechanical fee and the rate is now 9.5 cents per copy. In other words, $47.50 per 500 copies. In the U.S.

Usually in the shower. A tune will jump into my head and I'll make up some words to hold the tune till I can get out and sing it into a recorder. Or some words will pop into my head and I'll come up with a quick tune to repeat them over and over till I can write them down. We keep a pad and...

Thanks, Glen. I was thinking somewhat along those lines. "Let the song dictate the mix." I like that. I keep telling my wife that the song lets me know how it wants sung. I should pay attention to that in other aspects. Thanks again. Jeff

I hope you don't mind me popping in here with a related question. I'll be doing a project along similar lines, but also with some unaccompanied vocal and possibly a few with some more instruments involved. Should similarly instrumented songs on the same CD be mixed in a similar fashion (voice...

First: you are incorrect. You can register copyright on the cover recording. It covers the recording itself, not the song. IOW, you are "theortetically" protected from somebody running off copies of your recording of the song, not recording another cover version. Second: technically, you...

One of the good things about separate mixers and amps is that, if one of them packs it in, there is less to replace. And it's been my experience that the amp section is the most likely to go. Power amps are easy to replace and can often be borrowed in a pinch. If a channel goes out on your...

Great line!!

Guitar patch cords are TS, not TRS. What you want is essentially a stereo cable (3-conductor).

Bought Cubase SE because it appeared to have all I need (I do acoustic and folk primarily, so I don't need a bunch of tracks or effects). I'm pretty satisfied with it for now.

An insert cable has a single TRS (tip-ring-sleeve, like a stereo plug) on one end and breaks out into 2 cables with TS (tip-sleeve) connectors on them. One of the TS cables goes into the input on the compressor and the other into the output. The other end plugs into the board. This creates a...

Have you considered the fact that generators are not silent?

It flips your dongle. :D
