jaycay, are you sure you want to limit, or are you talking about compression??? A limiter is pretty harsh for most applications and is usually used for live sound to protect power amps. Try a compresser plug-in and search the board for compresser tips.

thirst, looks like you're in another 'school' thread too. the thing is there is no "school sucks/school is manditory" answer you can give everyone. Everyone learns different and picks up stuff in different ways. Columbia never promised me anything except an internship. I knew it would be hard...

I think that's some good advice. It seems the theme here is that it takes a lot of work whether you choose to go to school or not. And like sk8ingsnowman said, the success ratio is messed up because people go to school who have no idea what they are getting into. I hope my post before wasen't...

I don't think you should have to crank the gain that high on the mixer. If you are playing the amp loud or at least a little loud, here's what I'd do. (your mic might be too far away, try it about a couple of inches away) Make sure all the faders you are using are at 0, thats the track's faders...

Well I went to school for four years... And where am I now? Writing in a message board from my deskjob! I went to Columbia College Chicago for four years. Columbia has a GREAT sound program, IMHO better than Full Sail and all the other tech schools. If you are thinking of real college and a...

Hey cellardweller, An Ampeg VT120, thats the tube job with the 4 10'es right? what a sweet amp, great sound but i could never get mine to stay operational. My amp had no preamp distortion, just an overall volume knob that would get super loud! I never had the thing above 3! I got my best...

Ok folks here's my disclaimer: I AM NOT DEFENDING POPULAR MUSIC, IT SUCKS! However: There is nothing wrong with simple music. I like minimalism. However I think prog rock is cool too. I have noticed a lot, at least with stuff on the radio that there is a lot of 4 chord riffs out there, and...

Thanks a bunch you guys, unfortunately I'm at work or I'd give it a try. One more thing... The Line In should be a stereo input right? Thanks again.

Thanks NYMorningStar I had similar thoughts but I can't get my software to recognize the line in jack. Nothing shows up on the VU's in PT Free or Cakewalk or Cool Edit Pro. Any ideas on how to get it so I can record off of the Line In??? I can hear the Line In over my speakers, but can't...

I was afraid of that! I am planning on upgrading to a new card that can handle multiple inputs. I was just hoping I could goof around with the current one and get decent quality out of it. Thats for the help DonF.

I just got a new PC and I have tried recording on Cool Edit Pro, CakeWalk Guitar, Pro Tools FREE and everytime I plug anything into the mic input, the VU meters light up to about -24 with noise! I am using the soundcard that came with my PC, and I have tried using a dynamic mic, a dynamic with...
