Reading your response, I'm not sure you have the correct definition of compression and what it does. If I am wrong excuse me. However, heres a good place to start. Also, I think when you said "cause when I blow the threshold I already blew it and there is nothing that Sonar can do to help me...

Just get the Chinese to do it then. All you need is 30 cents, a dead cat, and apathy.

I know a Mexican who will do it for $50 but it takes him over an hour.

You could start by investing in a better microphone. Not that the SM58 is bad but now that you are getting into thinking about things like volume control and such it may be time to move up to a more specialized condenser mic. Also, learn how to use compression on your vocals to smooth the volume...

These are my peak hours. :P

I used to use a Digitech rp250 as a preamp (mainly for the ts808 emulation) to drive amp sims until I found out about a freebie called TSE 808. Now my "guitar rig" is 100% virtual. The only thing between my guitar and soundcard is an ART tube MP though the signal coming from it is totally clean...

Ill give you an A+ just for the cough 10 seconds in. :D

If you are going the mixer into interface route than the mixer will most likely have two sets of outputs. One will be called something like "mix out" and will have jack for left and right. The other set will be called something like "control room out" or "monitor out" and have the same left and...

Put it up on Box.net temporarily.

You want to "waste as little money possible"? Then maybe you should reconsider investing anything if you are only gonna record covers. But I'll go ahead and knock myself out anyway. You are gonna need a PC. It doesn't have to be too terribly powerful. Any modern PC with usb 2.0 will do. (If...

My nag about EZdrummer is that it is so obvious when someone uses it. Not that it doesn't work well or sound good but it leaves much to be desired for versatility. I personally hate the DFH expansion for EZdrummer. Someone said earlier that Nashville is the best kit and I agree. It's actually...

Give me $1000 and I'll teach you to be a mastering engineer in a half hour.

You don't want to be rooted to your computer!? Get used to it dude. I won't pussy-foot around with it. I think all outboard recorders are a bad investment.

BTW...good to see someone recommend AMD for a change.

Don't waste your money on solid state drives. They are not worth it yet. If the current machine you have works OK for you but you just want a little more muscle than just about anything you would buy will do the trick. Anytime someone says something like "I wanna record my band's demo on a PC...

uhhh.....contact cleaner.

Seriously, what I just said. The instruments are terribly out of tune with each other. Even if the tones were good it would be ruined.

I'll bet it reads something like "To get the best out of your new microphone we recommend that you only use the finest cables with gold plated connectors such as some-such-model blah blah" It's important to use decent cables for a quality signal but your mic won't be damaged using shitty cables...

Muddy is the least of the problems with these tracks. Step one in the recording process: TUNE ALL INSTRUMENTS!

Get that guitar out of the middle.
