    Cheaper Vocal Condenser Mic($100-200)

    I recently bought the Perception 100 to add to my mic closet and used it on kick drum, bass amp and acoustic guitar with really nice results... it seems quite flat on vocals and at $99 I'm happy with the buy!

    Change tempo of a imported song on Sonar 6 Producers Edition

    Inside Sonar ALT+9 takes you to the tempo view, where you can set the tempo. If what you want to do is speed up or down AUDIO, then that's a whole different animal altogether.

    Welcome aboard! Sonar is a wonderful piece of software and can fulfill many needs for a recording musician. I guess a good starting point would be to tweak your computer in wich you are going to be running sonar for audio. If you are using XP, then you must check out www.musicxp.net. Good...

    Good Soft synthizer

    It really depends on the kind of music you want to do with the synth. Native Instruments does some pretty killer synths like the Absynth, Reaktor, Massive, FM 8 et al... Korg has some great ones as well, like the MS 20, Legacycell, Polysix etc A great one would be, though, the EastWest Quantum...

    Are these mixes any good?

    Hola Jayme, Pues me gustaron mucho las canciones! The mixes sound good, although the compression at myspace makes everythings sound grainy (sort of like audio pixeling if you know what I mean). I just have to agree that they sound like they lack a little bottom end and maybe you could look...

    Drum mic ideas needed

    ecm 8000 for OH, 57 on snare and 52 or 112 on kick.... should stay within budget with those 4 mics and get a decent drum sound.

    Micing acoustic guitar players/singers?

    I would track the singer with the best dynamic I could find (MD 421 for example) and track the guitar with a good LDC and an sm 57 combination trying to get "close" mic's sounding as clear as possible... ...or I would try to do a stereo mic technique with my best carioids... hopefully 414's (if...

    midi latency

    ok, so I record a midi track, hit W, load another soft synth, assign the out of a new midi track to that synth and hit R... I have the metronome do a count of 4 and then I start recording, only that the midi track I have previously recorded starts late... VERY LATE! If I play and then R no...

    Track Panning

    Again, you can pan whichever way you like, but one piece of advice is, when mixing down, try to level both L and R to the same average in volume or else the final mix might result in something that fatigues your ears.

    simple question here about an acoustic project

    another thing you might want to try is to copy the guitar track, paste it to a new track and add a little delay to one of them... try around 50ms and play around from there... this can spread the guitar a little bit on the stereo field. Good luck!
