Pardon? What did you say GT .... How good are my beers?... Oh, ears, ears.... ah... not as good as they used to be... The MC told this at the local Folk and Blues club last month and half the audience nodded in recognition.. STORY: George is is the kitchen. His wife is in the...

Hi SM, Unfortunately I have no answers for you, but we seem to be on a very similar quest. My attic is very similar in size to yours. Photo of attic. Obviously the first thing is to site the desk on the end wall, as in your diagram, but that's as far as I've got. I'm currently trying to get...

He has a biography out called All You Need is Ears which apparently covers some of his recording, Beatles etc, and his life in general. Not sure how much technical chat it has though, but I'll probably buy it anyway.

Steenamaroo's summary sounds good, and I get now why it's on the bottom line - it's just a difference between your interface and mine. :facepalm: But the pic with the skewed levels is still puzzling. As he suggests, you probably have the knobs set out of whack. The left knob on the front...

I was referring to your comment that "It's all over the place". It is.. ;) My current guess is that she's getting the piano on both sides and that the vocals are somehow being added to the bottom line.

I think Steenamaroo hit the spot. The input's messed up somewhere. It looks like you're recording two things (vocals and piano) on one side of the same stereo track and one (just piano) on the other side. You should have two separate tracks - a stereo one for the piano and a mono one for...

I think we're all on that page now... ;) Some of the confusion may be in the terminology. "Channel" gets used for different things, and "right track" can mean either the opposite to left, or it can mean the "correct track". Some people might call the two halves of a stereo track left and...

Ah.... good to see another fan of "Percussive Maintenance"...

Hi, Looks like a great project. :) You're opening a massive can of worms there though, so be prepared for a lot of reading. I have an attic rom with my gear in that I'd like to 'improve' a bit so I've been checking out some audio and studio design sites. Audio geeks speak the sort of language...

Don't know it, but maybe it's this site DAK. They seem to have some audio gear and software Some DAK stock . Maybe he's into that. Is he too cool to ask? :)

I don't know your board but have you set the inputs and outputs in the regular computer System Preferences sound section on the Mac, and also in Garageband itself under Garageband > Preferences > Audio/Midi ? Sometimes things also need to be set up using the Utility at...

Good luck! :) It's always tempting to blame gear failure, and it usually turns out to be some annoying software glitch, setting change or whatever. But sometimes it really IS gear failure, so contacting them sounds like a good idea. If nothing else they should be able to give you some...

Don't take it too seriously mate. We're just looking at the same thing from slightly different angles that's all. We don't have to thrash out which view is best. :) Unless this is you: Or perhaps it's me... or both of us... ;)

Hi, My wife and I tend to get each other something reasonably small and then take some cash each and buy what exactly we want. Saves having to do all that tactful "Oh, lovely dear, just what I wanted" stuff when you open something you didn't actually covet... So she bought me some bottles of...

For some weird reason, it works like this: From the top menu select Tracks > Add New > Audio Track It will paste a new empty mono track on the screen (or stereo if that's what you selected). Do additional setting up as required. Now it gets a bit odd.... If you just hit record then it will...

I'm not sure that Leena has that option, unless the mic came with another cable with a 1/4" jack on the end. In the picture, the mic currently goes into an XLR connection at the back of the box. I don't know the box, but from the pics it seems to have one mic input (via the XLR) which it calls...

This could be important. If your drivers aren't right then you may be running with some kind of mismatch. Ideally, you should be using the Alpha box for both input and output (i.e hooking your speakers up to it too). Otherwise you can be trying to use one set of drivers for input and another for...

Ah, you're right, that is a mono/stereo button. I couldn't tell from the pics, and on my interface there's buttons to switch between Mic and Instrument, for input. Now that I've checked a large photo I can see that it's for switching the playback system between stereo and mono. Different task...

Hi, If it happened 'suddenly' as you said in your other thread, then fiddling around changing DAWs probably isn't going to help. You need to know why one channel isn't working. There may either be a wrong setting, a loose lead, or the interface may have developed a fault, or...?. Firstly, it...

I general rely on drugging the drinks, gagging the children, or locking everybody in the shed. But love can be a powerful persuader with the wife too. I only have to say "If you don't give me a couple of free hours to record I'm going to start wanting it again..." and she's off out like a...
