Sounds like you are overcorrecting. A little goes a long way. If you try to correct too much, you get exactly what you described. Go through the waveform carefully and manually correct a little where required. If you are adjusting in big increments, you will get the groteque Cher effect!

Note: When you post on a forum and ask for feedback, be ready for feedback. I will be brutally honest. The song is nice, I like it. As for the mix you asked about, I hear too much mid frequencies competing. You need to spread the spectrum more. Overall though not bad. Now the bad news. You...

Great post! So when do you plan on learning to speak?

I feel a bit of a rant coming on. So you Google "home recording" find nothing useful, then ask "what specific brand/model" should you get. Maybe some of us should just record for you. Then you wouldn't have to do anything! Better yet, most of us went through the same dilema as you. What we did...

The problem is that you have a line level signal. This is already hot enough to go into a line level input. By using your preamp, you potentially could amplify the signal far too much. If you've already tried it, I assume you had the preamp level almost to zero. Think of taking the speaker...

I think I see what you mean. I use to use an EMU1212 and it was the same way. You could only control things through their software, even if it lets you tweak the knobs. My Mastercontrol is different. The software is only the ASIO driver, and all I can do from it is change the sample rate etc...

And if I seem to remember from the day, if your amp had a low ohm output and you put that into a high ohm speaker array, you could damage the amp because of the resistance. Basically, the power backs up at the amp like a bottleneck because the speaker array had more resistance. Just to be safe...

Hey Lt. Bob, Been a long time since I did this stuff but it seems that: 16 ohm speakers x 4 in series = 16 ohms 16 ohm speakers x 4 in parallel = 4 ohms 16 ohm speakers, 2 sets in parallel then each set in series = 8 ohms

Yes, they are around. Personally, I use an Alesis Mastercontrol. It's not for everyone, but I really like it. It is interface and control surface so you have maximum control in your daw. I use Sonar 8.5. MasterControl Complete Studio Interface and Control System I'm not affiliated with Alesis...

Yeah, you can get the fake stuff in 4 x 8 sheets about 1/4" thick. Nail over drywall and you are in 70's heaven. They range from $5-$20 a sheet

What are you recording and with what? A guitar or mic is a mono input, so we need a little more information. Can you explain what you are trying to do? PS: I'm old too.

Here's my two cents. Recording and live are different animals. Everything depends on what quality of recording you want to make. As mentioned, USB out of your mixer will only give you 1 stereo track, basically it's recording the mains. So, you are recording your live performance. You can eq...

Your question is very cryptic. You may want to put more thought into it and post again. A guitar signal through a preamp will always be somewhat noisy. That's just the nature of the beast. We use noise gates and compressors all the time to try to limit the noise. One simple thing to do or check...

Lots of good answers. Basically, the sub mix thing is how I think of it. The op had asked about an effects bus and here's what I know. Suppose you want reverb. You can add to each channel as an effect and adjust the wet/dry to taste, or, set up a bus with a reverb effect set at full wet. Then...

There is just a complete difference from dynamic mic'a and condenser mic's. Dynamic mics reject most sound except what hits them direct, and they also have a much lower threshold meaning the sound must be close to them and directly at them. This is great for live, because it eliminates feedback...

I believe channel tools causes a slight delay in one side, which is why you are hearing a stereo effect. Like Miroslav said, if you use the exact same track and split it left and right, you haven't acomplished anything. Try this. Copy one track to a second track and move it a few miliseconds off...

Acoustic guitars truly deserve a pair of condenser mic's, especially if it's a nice guitar. As mentioned, do some research before buying. It sounds like you are used to playing live, but recording is a whole different animal.

Technically, the transfer means that your uncle has to stop using it if you use it. Only one owner. Nice to see someone with a good conscience though with all the pirating these days

I am 47 and was always an analoque guy. But the last couple of years, I have really gotten into the digital stuff. VST's to me are amazing. The only thing I don't like is the CPU hit. I now use a Roland VG-99 which is still a modeler, but doesn't use any processing power from my computer. I...

I think Guitargodgt is right, but also make sure the Mastercontrol preset is set to Cubase, I think it's preset 1
