You got some good riffs in the first track. Could you back off some of the compression though? And your bass sounds a bit out of tune. It would be hard not to sound pitchy singing to an instrument that isnt true.
The definition of a professional is a person that gets paid to do work in their chosen field. It's that simple when you take all the marketing and buzz word value out of "pro". If you are getting paid enough recording people's stuff to live off it you must be doing well enough that your products...
Yeah...it's the old silver one. I'm sure the newer ones are better. It's a good little mixer for what it is, don't get me wrong. But I don't record with it via USB.
To add further...I checked out Newegg to make sure I was still current on this issue. A 300GB SSD can be had for under $600 on average. For $179 you can have a Hitachi 3TB SATA drive. That means you could have a RAID setup with two of these for less than $400 and depending on how you set it up...
Ive been getting on fine with 4GB's recording in 32bit 48k. I only record a track at a time but then you gotta consider all the plugs I use and that near completion my mixes average about 8 32bit tracks playing simultaneously while recording others and during some sections use as many at 12 or...
The advantages of SSD are not enough to warrant the significantly higher price tag for a much smaller amount of storage. Something to look forward too in the future but I don't think it will be in our immediate future. As stated above, HDD's don't cause latency. What you record is stored in RAM...
I will go further in saying the waveform should NEVER peak. There is no need to use any limiter on a single track unless there is a problem to fix in the first place. At the mixing stage loudness is not the goal. Save that for the Mastering Engineer.
