Hi Tim and dastrick, Thanks for the replies. I am using a Presonus Firestudio as my audio interface. I originally thought that the FS would provide a simple way of me solving my problem, but two things are getting in the way (1) there is a noticeable amount of noise caused by plugging the CD...

Hi RastaSean, Thanks for the reply. I think, though, you may have misuderstood what I'm asking. Just to clarify, my co-host and I actually want to record a demo show in GarageBand (multitrack software that is included with every Mac computer), i.e. we are not recording this demo in a...

Hi, A friend of mine and I will be recording a demo in GarageBand 08 for a radio show. An important part of this is that we won't know ahead of time what tracks we will want to play; part of the idea of the show is that my co-host and I decide what tracks to play on the spur of the moment based...

Hi Fala, thanks for this. I like filemail.com better though, as you don't have to fill in any details about yourself, and there is no 'penalty' for not doing so (in the way of delaying the start of downloading, as there seems to be on megaupload.com). Thanks, once again,

Just remembered filemail.com

Hi, Sorry if this is the wrong forum. A few months ago I was uploading tracks to a free site (which didn't require *any* form of registration or giving details - one simply uploaded the tracks, and they were up for about 2 days). I have forgotten the name of the site, though, and would...

Hi Chibi Nappa, Thanks for your reply. As I said before, and perhaps I wasn't clear enough, it is impossible to turn the tracks down any further. If I do, there would be no volume. Thanks for your reply, GVDV.

Hi Everyone, Thanks for the messages and suggestions. I will try to turn my tracks down, but they're not that high in the first place; I don't think that I'll be able to monitor them properly if I turn most of them down because most are pretty low already. The only compression that has been...

Hi, I’m having several problems mixing a track in Garageband ’09 (I’m tracking into a Mac Pro with tonnes of hardware and memory). I put down a track with virtual keyboards, a modified drum loop, and some guitar, bass and vocal tracks. Problem 1: when I mix the drums to what sounds like a...

Hi moresound, Thanks very much for this; very useful. I had the K2 on for several hours tonight, and did 3 sets of recordings, so I think that that should have accounted for any 'warm up' factor. Thanks for the recommendation of the KSM44; I will try that one, too (actually tried to ask for it...

Hi mshilarious, Thanks for that; very informative. I already did some informative 'in situ' tests; singing and snapping my fingers while moving in a circle around the mic. while recording a track. I did that in the omni, cardiod and figure 8 settings and a couple in between, and there was some...

Hi darrin_h2000, and mshilarious, Thanks for the replies. To answer your question, the K2 may be a low cost mic. relative to things like the U87, but it would be a significant investment for me to be thinking of spending close to $1000 CAN. on a mic., so it is good for me to be able to...

As part of my research in helping me to decide on a better quality microphone than I currently have for vocals, I today went out and rented a Rode K2. As some of you will know, the K2 is a condenser which comes with it's own power supply, and a continuously variable polar pattern. I have never...

Good to know. Thanks.

Good suggestion about the proximity effect, moresound; wouldn't have thought about that. Thanks

And if memory serves, they didn't use *any* compression on this (will have to consult my books, because it could have been a couple of the tracks on 'Abbey Road' I'm thinking about). I'm a Beatles' freak (hundreds of books, 'unreleased' tracks and so on), and one of the things I'm trying to do...

Hi dintymoore, I am using a bit of reverb right now, but it's not as long as a slap-back echo; will try that, and will try de-tuning it. Thanks.

It does help, actually.

Hi dintymoore and ez_willis, Thanks for your suggestions. I was actually checking PhilGood's kelaudio.com link as you each were leaving your messages. dintymoore, I do actually copy my vocal tracks, and move them slightly out of alignment with each other - that is the one 'trick' I have...

Hi PhilGood, darrin_h2000, and Big Kenny, Many thanks for your replies. You have prompted me to consider some things I never would have thought about, and one thing (vocal lessons) which I have been thinking about for years and never really thought about in relation to this (but I have seen...
