I'm looking for a PC Laptop for my recording uses. Does anyone know any good things about PC brands out there for audio purposes? I am using Sonar X1 I'm currently looking at a Dell Latitude and XPS, but I heard something bad about the way Dell handles audio. My budget is $500-$700US. Is there...

Can I still change the comp after I bounce to clip? Or do the lanes stay there for editing? LOL Isn't that how it's spelled? If not, I apologize for screaming. I'll use my indoor voice next time :)

I have one single condenser mic that I use for everything. I'm going to be working on a little EP that's very acoustic. I want to get a pair of pencil mics to record stereo acoustic. I'm on a low budget, so I considered getting just a single mic plus my existing mic to do stereo, since I only...

I've been using SONAR. Maybe I haven't been using it to it's full potential. The computer I'm using now only has Adobe Sound Booth. Does anyone know if this does that?

I've been learning Logic at my internship and I'm loving how it can record different takes within one track automatically. In my previous experience, I had to record a different take onto a different track if I wanted to comp them together. Is there another DAW that does this?

-18db to -12db? That's a good guideline that I need. I mentioned in another reply that i use Sonar X1. This subtle compression and limiting you say, would be in the mastering process?

I'm on a super budget, and am looking to save up for monitors one day. A lot of the extremely lower end monitors (I'm looking at Behringer MS16) I have desktop speakers that have a subwoofer connected via 1/8". Can I add that on, or only if there's a jack for it? And before anyone tells me to...

Thank you so much! I never read this anywhere or learned it in a video. I finally found some people who can speak some truth! I do apologize for the frustration and confusion if I had caused any. I sometimes get in over my head about things when I just need someone to teach me the real truth...

Good point. I will do another point when I find time to record something and analyze the details. The thing is, I can never get my tracks to a loudness even close to songs I listen to. I might have to heavily compress it to get there. Is this a compression/mastering issue?

It's a Studio Projects B1. When I record, I turn the gain knob down until I stop clipping, to get as high as I an without clipping

I mean small in comparison to all the room to the top. I don't quite know the exact decibels, but I do know that there is way more room above and below the waveform until it hits 0db. I'm recording into Sonar X1. I compare my tracks to other tracks and mine are very soft.

I have a Mackie Blackjack USB interface. It supposedly has Mackie's boutique-quality preamps, but when I record with my mic into my computer, one thing I notice is that the wave forms are really small. I can't turn up my tracks by very much until it starts clipping. Could anyone with more...

I have recorded an argument directly in front of the mic. They sound very clean an clear. I need to make them sound muffled like they are coming through the wall from another room. I also need to make it so muffled that you can barely distinguish their words. How can I do this? What effects do...

So you mean I connect both switches to one Stereo Jack, so that there will be only one cable from the pedal to the Alesis?

Thank you ranjam! The stereo jack link has a diagram that makes a lot of sense! Thanks again!

I'm trying to build a pedal that has two momentary switches each with it's own output for an Alesis MicroVerb 4. These two switches will be connected to a single footswitch input jack via 1/4" TRS splitter. There's only one footswitch input available. Here's the weird part: Both switches need...

Darn nibblettes, my plan is foiled. Thanks for the reality! :)

Is there some kind of xlr cable that can split into female ends so you can have a Left/Right stereo micing running into one XLR input to save space? And if you want to cheat, can you split up that "stereo" track into two monos?

What are the limitations of GarageBand? Just want to know to see what I'm getting myself into.
