I have a Shure SM-58, Bellairi (? - $100) single channel tube pre-amp and a two channel compressor. (It's the one that's blue and has a rotary knob for presets, vocals, percs, strings, guitars, etc... around $150) Should I be able to get a decent vocal track out of this? If so, then I have...

I love recording... SO many choices, so many options, so much fun! :D

The de-frag did it. Thanks for offering help. :D Another trick that worked was zooming out to prevent the need for re-reshing the screen. Between the two, It record flawlessly now. :)

I'm running CW9 on a ~500MHz PII. The 8gig hard drive is about 45% full. Wneh recording the first track (drums) everything is fine. Then, while recording susequent tracks, it begins to jump and skip. The more tracks are added, the worse/mor frequent it gets. I will be defragging tomorrow...

On the track my band recorded, the vocals sound like they are not a part of the mix. Other than backing them off and encouraging the singer to stay in tune ;) what else can be done? We will be recording this week at my house and I'd like to be able to have his vocals blend really well like...

What gives a mix that glossified sound? Is it heavy compression across the tracks? I'm recording my rock/punk band on Cakewalk over the next few days, and when I mix down, I'd like to give it a sheen instead of the typical raw demo sound. Any suggestions? For example, what's the difference...
