Your voice has a nice unusual quality too it that sets it apart. Sounds good. I wouldn't mess with it.

Most of the Computer interfaces out there work pretty well. I recommend one with phantom power so you can power a condenser mic. I have a Tascam US 144 MKII and it works great. I can record in stereo with it. There are cheaper ones out there that will do the trick.

You may need to click the ASIO Setting to get it to work.

In Mixcraft 5 you can just duplicate the track and change the instrument on the duplicated track. It uses the same beat you have already recorded. You can duplicate as many times as you want and make adjustments in each individual track that you want. It's a piece of cake.

I recently got Native instruments and use it on Mixcraft. Unfortunately it's isn't as easy to use as I would like. I had hoped the instruments would be added to those already in mixcraft but they don't. You have to access them through the fx button. I don't know if thats the same for...

Anyone know where I can get additional midi instruments for Mixcraft 5? I don't want to break the bank. I did find some from Native Instruments for $50. Everything else costs $100's of dollars.

If you have Macbook already you probably have garageband on it already. Thats all you need. I'm not for sure on Mac if you need a computer interface or not. A computer interface is simply an external sound card designed for music. Pretty much all of them are good and will work for you. You...

Agree with the above: Grain of Salt taken. I record on an HP computer with 2 gig of Ram. It has a quad core processor and does fine. I do have a 1.5 terrabyte external hard drive that I record to. Music takes up a lot of space so you want as much hard drive memory as you can afford. I have...

If you look around you can find a converter that will convert your USB mic to XLR. This could keep you from having to buy an new mic.

I recently bought a Midi Controller. Alesis Q-25. I also have Mixcraft 5. I was blown away by all the virtual instruments I can now put on my tracks. I can't play piano for a lick but it doesn't matter. You can put in drums, brass, guitars, cymbals, flutes, orchestra and what not very...

I use the Tascam US 144 MKII interface. It works well and has two inputs as well as a midi input. Plenty of adjustments. Most interfaces will work fine. You would probably want at least two inputs to record stereo.

I have been doing recording for a few years now and have only recently found a combination that works well. First of all I recommend either Apple Garage Band if you have an apple computer or Mixcraft 5 if you use windows. They are both easy to used and very versatile. You also need a Computer...

Alesis doesn't have a driver for the Alesis Q25 yet.

Shoot me if I'm being too simple here. A computer interface is an external sound card. A lot easier to use than an internal sound card. I use the Tascam US 144 MKII. The half second delay you are seeing is latency. With the interface you have to set your recording software to ASIO and then...

I use the Alesis Q25 with Mixcraft 5. It works great and has really opened up my recording possibilities. It's probably all I need for now. A 49 Key keyboard would be nicer but I can still get whatever notes I want though it is slower because you have to move the pitch down an octave or you...

Amazon.com I bought mine at Amazon.com. Got a significant discount off the list price and free shipping. Came in a nice case as well.

I also believe you can achieve studio quality results at home. I'm getting pretty good results at home. It can be better. It's more ignorance on my part than the inability of the equipment.

What software are you using? If you are using something like Audacity and don't have a degree in sound engineering that could be the problem. I have had the same problem in the past. I never was able to get the sound I wanted. I used Riffworks, Audacity and Magix Audio Studio. They were all...

Oh, did I make a mistake. I must apologize? :)

I have a nice set of Klipsch headphones that work really well. Great sound reproduction.
