Thanks for all your tips again. I've already experimented with placing the mic closer, turn down the gain and play a little louder, and it has indeed helped to hide the system hiss quite a bit. Now, I'll experiment more, looking for the limits of how close I can mic the guitar with it still...

That's actually a very good point. Because, I don't have monitors. Yes. Quite a necessity that's missing from my gear. So, I have to make the best of what I have: €30 computer speakers, standard speakers on my laptop (it's a mac, so they sound relatively good, probably due to the aluminium...

Alright, thanks for all the help guys! I'll re-eq, the stuff with some 90% less eq-ing :thumbs up: Do you also think that there's some major changes I should do during my recording stage? keep music alive

Looks like judgment day came early for me! But forgive me for my crimes! @Mindsound, your blog is open in a new tab as we speak I'll check it out for sure! Thank you for your advice! It's clear that I should approach my eq-ing differently. I'll listen to all of your recommendations. I've...

Yup that's it. Except, I think that the jack on the one I bought looks a little different, but that's a minor thing. For the rest it's exactly the same. Do you happen to know something about it?

Good day everyone! I use Logic Pro 9 to process my recordings. Right now I am recording an own composition, and since I am still relatively new to recording, mixing and mastering, I have a tendency to experiment a lot with the possibilities. At the current moment, I am mixing the guitar for...

Thanks a lot for your in-depth response! I'll try to do this when I have some time and money. In the meanwhile, I had a friend come over to check out the hiss issue (he's a very experienced home-producer, he knows his stuff) and he came to the conclusion that it's my device that's causing the...

I have experimented with the system noise a lot a few days back and I was impressed by the amount of hiss produced by the circuit it self without the mic even plugged in. The room noise was actually only audible when I set the gain high on my interface. I monitored the hiss using pairs of...

So it is system noise then... that's good to know, I now know where to troubleshoot the issue. The input gain on my interface was set so high, but not the highest so I averted clipping. But actually if I just turned the gain knob up a little, clipping would form. So, I was pretty much as high...

The "background noise" could actually be formed in the recording chain, the mic I bought is second hand and the cable that I am using came with it. So, maybe the problem lies within the cable, which as I researched is not of a high quality. Furthermore, I am using a firewire 800 to firewire 800...

Good day all, I am as newbie here as it gets, it's my first post here. I have looked around and tried to find the answer to this question for a while now. I found some things that could get me on the track, but nothing that could really directly solve my problem. So let me get to the point...

Hello! I am TheLemonAid and I love music. I've played guitar and drums for 13 years now (since I am six, now I am 19). My interest in recording begun when I started writing my own songs, so only a year ago have I started investing in recording equipment. Due to low budget, my recording arsenal...
