hey everyone. I was just wondering what everyone thought of this one song our band recorded. If I told you how we did a lot of it, you'd probably laugh, hehe, but we did use a delta 44, CEP, and some 14A (??) Shure Mics. I know it's not the greatest, but some critiquing could help us...

I always get mine from CD-Recordable.com . You can get 100 cd-rs for $31. These are also all blank with no brand name on them. I've never had any problems recording on to them or reading them either.

thanks for all the replies. I'll be sure to tell my bandmate to bring these up at the next meeting on friday. Thanks for all the help.

thanks for all the replies thus far. I was looking at multitrack recorders and i found a 4-track for $100. I figure 2 tracks for 2 mics set up in the room, and then 2 for each channel from the board. But then i realized you can't record everything at once. So, maybe we'll look into renting...

Ok, here's the deal. My old high school puts on a yearly event called the Concert 4 Life which helps raise money for AIDS research. My band is playing there as well as 9 other local bands. The committee informed us that they were hiring a sound guy to do the mixing and what-not. I was...

Hello there. I'd just like to know if anybody can tell me how to use the compression tool in cool edit. I understand the basic concept of compression in general - but all these graphs and ratio numbers i don't quite get. the vocals that i record always fluctuate so much, as well as the bass...

Thanks very much for all the input. For recording the guitar, I'm merely using the line out of the guitar. I know this isn't the best way to record, but I don't think micing the amp will get any better sound (i have a shure 14A i believe). I think it may be just a matter of recording too much...

Hey there. My band is recording a few demo songs on to my pc. I have a delta 44 soundcard and crappy monitors (actually its just stereo speakers). I'm in no way looking for perfection, but this definitely irritates me. It seems that the guitars have too much bass in them. The guitars then...

hello - i have a question about cd labeling. Rather than to just buy cd labels to label my cd's, i was thinking of just using address labels cause i have many of those already (and since i would printing just a small logo of the band name, it would save a lot of ink). Then i would cut out the...

Hello. I'm a newbie to pc recording and my band has been working on an album to hand out to family and friends. Thus far, we have 8 recorded, and 4 more to go. I'm using cool edit pro, and i'm confused about how the compression works. I've tried to understand it by reading articles on...

Thanks for the replies. I tried recording directly to the sound card and it seems to sound pretty good (at least better than doin't it the other one - there was way too much bass. Anyway, thanks for the suggestions. If anyone has yet a better solution, please post! Thanx Steven

Hello, I'm new to recording and am having trouble recording bass guitar. Firstly, I'm running through the line output (i think it actually says pre-amp mic output i believe) of the bass amplifier directly to my soundcard) cause my mics are too crappy to mic the amp. Anyway, hopefully this...

Thanks for all the great responses, although some did go over my head a bit :-) since i'm spankin' new to this stuff. So i should record in 16-bit then? Thanks! Steven

So I should record in 16-bit? I have a Pentium II, 400 MHz and under the performance tab under the 'system' icon in the control panel, it says file system: 32-bit and virtual memory 32-bit? Does this have anything to do with it? Also, i recorded a couple tracks about 3 min long each...

sorry, the title should read 32-bit

Hi. I am just recording and i got CEP for software. I was wondering if i should record in 16-bit or 32-bit and if there is any significant differance. Also, when asked to choose it says 32-bit (float). What does this mean? Thanks for any response.

Thanks for the input. I tried the experiment and I found the miced amp track got a whole lot of excess static. The problem isn't the peak levels because the volume was well below that. It might be my microphones, which are Shure 14A which i believe are cardoid microphones. The shure site...

As you see by the number of posts i've made, i'm really new at this and don't have the money to get any mic preamps. So instead, I'm experimenting with connecting the line output to my amp to the sound card because this is the only other way to do it without a mic preamp. I do have a PA mixer...

thanks, but... Thanks for the help. Now i can use all four inputs. Okay, another quickie - for miced stuff, should i use -10 db or +4 db. What about if you want to plug your amp directly into the soundcard? Would that be +4 or -10. Any help wouldbe appreciated.

Hello all. I have just recently purchases a Delta 44 from my local SamAsh. I've been fiddling around with it but i can't seem to figure something out. When i go to record 2 tracks simultaneously using Cool Edit Pro (a guitar on input one - and a miced drum set on input 2), it will only record...
