I think my USB Mic came with a lot of hiss in the background after I dropped it a couple times. I set it to fade in so that the his eases in, instead of popping up. I couldn't get rid of it in EQ without taking out important frequencies. I just bought an interface and condenser mic, so hopefully...

And another thing!!! How is the EQ? I know for a fact I over did EQ. I didn't use subtle boosts. I boosted until I could hear a difference and that was like atleast 3-4dB. And I did cut out a lot of low end, but I didn't have a bass or anything.

I noticed that, but I couldn't use my pitch correction software without making it sound like T-Pain. I didn't know how to make the subtle changes. I tried to fix that during the recording, but I had to monitor straight from my laptop (USB Mics....) and latency forced me to do it by ear. But...

I had two shaker tracks, each hard left and right. I felt like I had to turn it down because it was too in-your-face on both sides because it was so wide. But then again, I'm mixing on these desktop speakers Gigaware 2.1 Multimedia Speakers : Speakers | RadioShack.com so I'm hearing things...

Thanks! I haven't been around the forum much, I'll go check it out!

I've been reading on recording and mixing for the past year and I finally got to apply my knowledge! This is the first song I ever kinda REALLY mixed! (Before I just slapped on the good ol' 'VERB!) "This Is Our Town" - brandonli - We The Kings cover - YouTube Please help me out my criticizing...

I will be recording Acc Guitar, Vocals, various percussion (bells, shakers, tambourines, cajon, drums), piano, violin, bass, some electric. Those are just some off the top of my head. My friend is telling me that these packaged mic deals are just attractive bundles that they use to get rid of...

Yes, I have my eyes set on the Mackie Onyx Blackjack for next week.

I was at Guitar Center the other day and the clerk showed me the Sterling Audio SP50/30 package. It's a large diaphragm condenser and a small diaphragm condenser at about $80 for the holidays. I went home and googled this to find more information on it. All I could find was this product listed...

I know there was a post about this a day ago, but I decided to post my question with more detail. I'm looking for my FIRST audio interface. Right now, since I'm just starting out, my budget is at around $120 to $200, but I want to stay away from $200 because I want to buy a pair of mics too...

THANKS! I'm already feeling more encouraged to record more now that I know I have teachers! Can't wait to get to college!

Thank you for your support! I'm really looking forward to learning more!

Hi everyone! My name is brand0nized and I'm going to start doing more recording this year. I'm going to put it into more practice and try to learn more about studio recording through books, people, and experiences. I have a lot of questions already and will have a WHOLE lot more in the future...

I'm on a budget and found the Behringer C-4 on Amazon and lala'd at the price. Can I use this small condenser pair to record acoustic guitar, piano, various instruments such as glockenspiel and melodica, and percussion such as cajon, shakers, and tombourines, AND VOCALS! I want to just buy...

I'm reading some books on home recording, but one's a little outdated (still talking about SIAB's and tape recorders). I just wanted to get more insight on what you guys are actually doing in the present. Thanks for all the information so far!

I'm just starting out in home recording, and I'd like to learn more from people with more experience. What steps do you take in preparing your band to record a song? What steps do you take in the actual tracking process? Which instruments go first and why do they before others? If possible...

I'm just starting out on home recording and I'd like to get other recordists views who have more experience than me so that I can learn from you guys. What are the steps you take in editing and mixing your song after you track everything? What comes first, and what comes last? Also, can you tell...

I've read a thread on recording acoustic guitars. I want to record a live acoustic performance with the one mic I have available. Where is a good place to put the mic so that I get a good sound of the acoustic guitar and the singer?

I have Adobe Audition 3, and on old Cakewalk Sonar 4 LE that came with my microphone. Still not sure which one I like better.

I don't have an actual USB MIDI keyboard, but I want to use some virtual instruments such as drums. I tried one virtual midi controller, but there's a lot of latency and I can't play all the keys on the controller with my keyboard. Does anyone know a good virtual midi controller? Preferences...
