How much space do you have now? Maybe that's the cause of the errors, not memory or CPU. You have plenty of RAM. I would upgrade the hard drive to 7200 RPM. How fast is your CPU? Also, I wouldn't waste time recording at 48 sample rate unless it's for video. Maybe record at 44.1/24-bit...

Oh ok. I always thought I was fine recording in 44.1/16-bit... :o I still don't see how bit depth relates to db though...:confused:

I've never tried one that was better than Vinyl, but try kvraudio.com. Milli Vinylli. Other free ones.

PureVolume is worse with MP3 quality than MySpace. I think they convert it down to 64 or 92 KBps or something like that. Use www.SoundClick.com to post your songs, or something like www.lightningmp3.com which doesn't care about bitrate.

Is it a lot better to send in 24-bit files as opposed to 16-bit? Even if the 16-bit WAVs peak at about -15 to -18 db? Is that usually enough headroom?

First of all, don't go into the MIC input of the computer, that already has a preamp of its own and it's not a good one. Go into the LINE IN of your soundcard. And don't hook your tube amp directly into your soundcard. Unless it has a headphones out, which would sound like shit, don't do it...

Do you talk like this in real life?

Recording bass DI is common, not so much with guitar but people still do it. Nothing beats mic'ing an amp, period. You could DI a guitar and then use an amp/cabinet modeller, but those sound artificial... some less artifical than others. It's a matter of preference I guess, but I think...

Also, most duplicated (mastered) CDs aren't burned, they're printed.

Thanks for the tips. I've noticed that turning them down in the mix does make them fit better, but there's one synth lead part that I really want to stand out. It's not a matter of EQ really, as I already have all of that done. It's the fact that it's a synth, and the rest are real...

Same thing happened to me. I had to take the strings off and reach into the soundhole and pull it back through. Took a little while.

I have a song I'm working on with several synth/pad parts in it. It's also got 2 guitars and a piano. The song and the mix sound okay, but the synths just stand out too much and don't seem to fit right no matter what. Is there some kind of filter I can add to all tracks to make them seem more...

Well I tried one more time and it worked. I enabled the "Correct drift in recordings" option in Audition. I don't know if that's why it worked or because of all the uninstalling/reinstalling of shit on my computer. Or a combination of both. I'd have to agree. Anyway, thanks for the help, I...

The reason I rendered as a WAV first was because my system isn't that great and running through a VSTi while recording a track is rough on the CPU. The VSTi is Steinberg The Grand 2 which takes up a lot of CPU/memory. My computer is about 5 or 6 years old... AMD Athlon 1.2 GHz 512 MB DDR PC...

That's what I did...They are both on seperate tracks...but I used the first one to record with to keep time. I don't use metronomes. But when I played them both back, they were out of sync. No, the BPM is constant. I just loaded a .MIDI file and rendered it through a VSTi. The only thing...

The MIDI is just a piano track. But I ran it through a VSTi and rendered as WAV. I then recorded over that WAV and that's where I'm having problems. I think I may just reformat. :( It's a good solution if you have no idea what the fuck is going on. :confused:

I'm stumped too. This has happened to me before with different bitrates, but never with the same length, bitrate, etc. I'm thinking of just reformatting and reinstalling Windows. :mad:

No one else has had this problem before? :confused:

Yes, all MIDI is the same BPM (70bpm), and it plays back at 70bpm. I even added a click track to make sure. It's wierd because the 2 files I have, the MIDI, and my recording, are both exactly the same length, my timing is fine, but mine still plays faster than the other. I even...

Sorry, posted this in the wrong forum before on accident. I have 2 tracks. Both are 16-bit/44.1 The first is a MIDI track that was run through a VSTi and rendered as a 16-bit/44.1 stereo WAV file. The second is something I recorded over the first, and it is also 16-bit/44.1, but it is mono...
