What you have already sounds pretty good considering what your working with. You might want to consider switching to a DAW such as reaper with you can try out for free for as long as you like or buy the full version for 40$. Are you using any kind of interface? To make it richer you could either...

What hardware/software do you already have or intend to acquire?

Doesn't the direct monitor button just switch the interface between what you hear in the headphones and what you hear in the monitors? Can you post what you have already done so that we can have an idea of what you need. Its difficult to say what plugins would work without hearing what you have...

So your not going to use the boom box? does this problem persist in other DAW's as well?

You could also go with the blue Icicle which allows you to use any mic as a usb mic. I think they cost about 60$. It also has a built in preamp.

How dare you besmirch the great sm57! I thought everyone liked patronizing responses. Oh and the 57 is designed to mic acoustic guitars, aim it at the 12th fret pointed slightly toward the sound hole. If you have 2 mics then set up the 1st as I said earlier and the 2nd mic pointed toward the...

I recently got the tascam us-800 and its been real easy to use with great sound quality and 6 mic/line inputs plus midi.

Is there a loose wire inside that you'd need to resolder?

It does not appear that the fast track has this function. Although I know that the fast track pro as a "a/b" button for exactly this.

Yes you can with the proper adapters! Will it sound good? Who knows, all I know is before I discovered interfaces and recording the way your suggesting here it all sounded very lo-fi.

Are you creating your own backing tracks or are these already done? also ditch the nova and just use the AT2020(I assume this is what you meant). I had a fast track pro and it took a while to get it to perform as it should, once I got everything in order it worked fine but can be a pain in the...

This is kind of a weird question because the SM57 is a great mic and can be used for just about anything. The Icicle on the other hand allows you to use your choice of condenser mic as a usb condense. Meaning you wouldn't need to use a interface of any kind. The SM57 with an interface would be...

Ok so I've read that you can extend guitar pickup leads by twisting the wires together and putting some heat shrink tubing over the top of it to keep it from arc-ing. Do you have to do this with each individual lead or can you just strip all of them bare and twist them together?

Can you post a rough recording of what you have so that we can hear your concept, instead of using our burnt out imaginations...TV...TV... BEER...TV.

Are you referring to multiple instruments or other signals coming out of a single source? Your question is a little vague. The output of any signal is all relative to the number of inputs, whether it be a guitar, amp or mixer. These all have an input that is pretty easy to understand but their...

TASTY! This sounds like a fun DIY project.

Or just learn some Chuck Berry! Everyone's ripped him off, and may as well be the foundation of rock 'n' roll music.

It all depends on who/how it was recorded or what kind of stereo your listening through. An early bit of recording advice that I got many moons ago, was when you finish mixing play the recording through several different types of stereos. Whether this be car, home, computer, Ipod, or head...

Sorry to derail! crucify me if you must! Does anyone know about the tascam us-800 I just got it on layaway for 150$ at kenelly keys, who happened to have a better price that GC.

I was just joking about the dangerous part. It does make perfect sense as a way of maintaining gear.
