Hi Guys, I have been scouring these forums every now and then and have been posting/reading material and I must say everyone here is really helpful. However I was wondering if there is any thread/site that explains building budget studios with help of pictures/images/photos. A site about darn...

Thank you guys for you responses. Really appreciate that. The way I record is that I play one instrument at one time. I compose my music and play instruments on midi, or real ones if available (like electronic drums or guitar). So I wont need multiple inputs at a time. Howvever I have been...

Hi, I want to start my very small recording facility, mostly for my private compositions. I have a 10x10 room (I live in an apt) where I have set up some equipment, but I dont know where/how to start buiding my studio. The equipment I have is as follows 1. Dell PC - 1.3 Ghz, 80GB, 256MB, SB...

What config do you think might be able to handle this kinda work ? Is MAC better than PC ? (I like the cool looks of MAC so if its good for such apps, I might be able to make a case to buy one ;-))

I have Cakewalk Music creator using which i have recorded some 20 tracks or so for a song. I need a way so I can bundle all these tracks in a way which will keep all tracks in place with respect to each other. This way, I can import these tracks in time in Protools. Protools has a way of doing...

Yes my nTrack 3.3 has the same problem.It records one track properly but when additional track is recorded, playback is delayed.I have to close nTrack before recording a fresh track.Thats really annoying and today I came here to ask you guys if anyone has had this issue. Anyone knows how can we...

hey guys, it worked..seems like you guys are spending more time with n-Track than with your jobs ;-)) I tried to create an MP3 using 128Kbps rate, and it was ~4M compared to 8M produced when I was converting at the default rate of 256. However the quality of sound aint so good in the 4M version...

Can someone tell me what determines the size of MP3 created after mixdown ? I recorded a song (2 tracks,one vocals,one karaoke), and mixed it down.The wav file's size was ~53M and the converted MP3 was 9M in size.Is there a way to reduce this size further ? If I use a compressor for the tracks...

Slackmaster, I owe you one. Thanks much for answering my questions (so they werent stupid afterall eh?). Now things are little clearer than before, but I would definitely have more questions. Thanks for the help - n

Is Creative Sound Blaster Live a crappy sound card ? I thot it was pretty ok for recording at home ? Can you suggest a better sound card to use with n-Track ?

1. Whats the difference between a channel and a track ? 2. Does stereo mean 2 tracks or 2 channels ? 3. Whats SMTE ? 4. Whats volume evolution ? 5. Whats a wave editor ? 6. Whats an aux channel ? 7. Whats the master channel ? Is there a slave channel ? 8. Whats send and whats return ? 9. Whats...

Oh I have a cheaper-than-ripper solution :-) I connect the output of my soundcard to line in (using a $4 jumper cable), play the CD and use n-track to record it on one track.Once thats done, I go ahead and record other tracks in normal way.Seems to work pretty good, but I was thinking if there...

I am a newbie here.I recorded my first track on n-Track using the line in, and the second track using the mic.Worked fine. Then I wanted to play a CD and record a whole song on one track,so I changed the recording source to CD-Audio (instead of line-in or mic), but I wasnt able to record...

Ok I realised that I was asking wrong question in the wrong forum.This is supposed to be entirely for mics right ? But now that we have started discussing things,I might as well tell ya what am I trying to do. I wanna record my own CDs (tapes fine too for starters). Now the way I wanna do it is...

Yeah thats what I got from Local Fry's.(In San Jose,CA). True that its not the best recording gadgets,but after I broke my old Aiwa,which had superb Karaoke controls, this was the only model which had a darn mic input, and it also has a karaoke mode.So I bought it. I sometimes use headfones...

Ok I am intimidated by recording and mixing at home.I want to learn all about it but theres so much so so much to grasp !!!! Anyway, baby steps, moving on. I recently bought a Sony LBT XG60 (280w), which has a 1/4" mic and guitar i/p jacks. I also bought a Sennheiser e835 mic (the guy at guitar...
