Yeah, that's what I ended up doing, actually. Got good results with with that.

Yeah, but there's that pesky cost factor...

Yeah, that's what I was trying, but that was giving me the tinny sound. I had it midway up the cab, and the midpoint of the speaker. Neither gave me acceptable results. Maybe I have bad speakers on top. :confused:

Ok. Well, I have a very simple, beginner's setup. Mic, to a DMP-3 preamp, an M-Audio 2496 sound card installed in a Dell computer. Using Sonar 3. So, after I've laid all my tracks (without compression), what then? There are a couple of included compression FX. Do I apply those to all the...

Thanks. I'll experiment with those suggestions, too.

Thanks, guys. The mic and cable are fine. Vocals work fine. I kept playing around a little more with placement. I saw something in another thread about placing the mic way down low and about a foot back. I tried that, and putting the mic way down low (almost on the ground) picks up the...

:o Compared to radio/commercial cds. Example: I'll be in my car, listen to the radio. Levels are what they are. Pop in a cd, levels pretty much same as when I was listening to the radio - don't really need to mess around with the volume knob. Pop in a cd with my mixdown on it, I have to...

Newbie warning. I'm working on my first recording. Using Sonar 3.11. When I mixdown to create a wav or mp3 file, the resulting file's playback level is very low. I have to crank the volume up. How do I mixdown to get a more "normal" playback level?

I'm new to the home recording thing. Having fun learning, spending lots of time reading this forum. I'm having a problem micing my guitar amp, and I was hoping you guys would be able to give me some suggestions. Here's the thing: I'm running a Line6 Spider II head into a Crate cab. Using an...

Hey, Coolcat. Sounds like your problem was that the software is just a demo version, but that your unit is working just fine. I wish that were my problem. I already have Cakewalk's Sonar 3 Studio Edition installed, and that's what I'm using. So, I haven't even opened the envelope with all...

I'm thinking of taking the plunge and getting a Driskill guitar, but the problem I've had is that they're not readilly available for testing. Anybody ever actually played one who could provide some feedback as to feel, sound, etc.?

Ok, I currently have a laptop computer and a small budget, so I was looking for an inexpensive way to do low end recording - just to play around with learning how to use the software, hardware, playing with mike settings, and ultimately, to get rough drafts of songs worked up. I had been wary...
