Heyy folks This is the first thing I've ever recorded and mixed on my own. All feedback is appreciated as I am still learning; please note that the drums aren't real...I played those bad boys on my keyboard \m/ Rock on. It's called 'I want to know You'. Tim OK so, for some reason I can't...

Well crappy doodle I fixed it. Used a couple of the ideas suggested here (particularly the avg. volume thing) and then basically decided that my vocals were tweaked too high and the track softened too much. I had to go and remove all the settings from the vocal tracks and re-do all of them...

Awesome. Yea I found that with limiters, the loud parts seemed to really flounder, which is not what I'm aiming for. Will try your suggestions and report back! Thanks

Hey everyone So, I've recorded a couple of songs now which I'm really happy with. The problem I have is this: Both songs are much quieter than I thought they would be when played next to pro recordings. I've tried going back into the tracks and just bumping everything up but having a hard time...

Thanks Glen, that's helpful as well! Definetly getting more clarity on this now. Thanks for the patience and useful info all.

OK I do understand all that, it does make sense. I think what's confusing is the way Logic deals with them...the terminology seems different to me. On the logic mixer, you click send, which then displays bus 1, 2, 3 and so on. On clicking on of those, it then automatically creates an aux...

That makes perfect sense. So...an aux is a seperate channel used for assigning the same effects to different channels...bussing is having the dry and wet signals mixed via the aux channel... Yes?! I think I understand!:eek: And agreed on the DAW not explaining itself to me:confused:

Ah OK...so in order to achieve the left and right guitars staying in their stereo positions, I'd have to bus them as opposed to aux them? Sorry for the confusion...on logic, when you click send, it comes up with a list of bus 1, bus 2, bus 3 etc...when you choose one, it creates an aux channel...

Basically...there's a left guitar part and a right guitar part being sent to one aux channel that has a compressor and reverb on it. When you say 'using an aux where you should be bussing'...:cool: what exactly is the difference? Forgive me but I thought bussing was the act of sending a...

OK just been having a play. I get that now...does make life much easier. And I might be imagining it...but it sounds better with everything getting its effects from one source, instead of each strip having its own assigned reverb etc...am I right?? Here's something that confused me...I sent my...

Let me start by saying I don't know exactly what I'm doing? Secondly...I'm GUESSING that with a doubled guitar track, you can have one allll the way to left and the other alllll the way to the right...and then assign them the same reverb/EQ/compression via the aux channel? Or am I wrong? I'm...

OK well that certainly answers my question about the importance of them! From what you said, I can send say two seperate channels to the same aux channel and assign exactly the same setting to both simultaneously? That does sound fantastic if thats the case! I have doubled guitar tracks that I...

Hello all! Apologies in advance for the noobtastic nature of this thread. I'm an experienced musician that's just setup a home recording space, so have limited mixing knowledge! I am running a tc electronic konnekt 6 into an imac with logic 9. I have no other hardware, so what are the...

I totally did not see or use the input/daw dial. This also explains why recording electric guitar straight into the interface failed pretty miserably! Told you it was noob-tastic! Many thanks for the sound advice!

Heyy Just a quick potentially noob-tastic query! Running a bluebird mic, into a tc electronic konnekt 6, into an imac with logic 9. Simply put, the signal is very quiet, even with the logic mixer and the interface slider to the top. I use the phantom power, and also the 12db boost...even then...

Get a capo!

I'm a total snob so therefore wouldn't even pick up a guitar I thought was ugly. No idea why a company would make ugly guitars!

Nice and simple! Thanks for that

Hey there Just been putting some sponge/foam onto the walls of my spare room to dull all the reverb (quite a high ceiling!). As you can see in the photos below, we've put some voile up from the ceiling to try and lower it a bit but obviously it's not the densest of materials so doesn't do much...

I have 5. Yamaha Compass acoustic Fender USA Standard Telecaster Fender Mustang And an Epiphone Les Paul and an Ibanez Talman acoustic that I don't play anymore...hold onto them for the memories! I don't have any intentions of buying anything new any time soon (except for a bass to record...
