    Singing vocals with headphones

    Here's my problem guys. I've tried recording vocals half a dozen times for the same song and it just doesn't sound right (ie. as when I'm not recording). I'm wondering if there is another method than the one I'm using. I listen to the music through headphones to avoid bleeding into the vocal...

    Cakewalk SONAR vs. SP C1

    Evan, Very nice setup you got there. I especially like the Computer desk you have. Where'd you get it? About the preamp... Is it beneficial for a microphone to have a mic preamp rather than using the phantom power through a mixer? I see you have both preamp and mixer.

    Cakewalk SONAR vs. SP C1

    thanks for the responses guys... I think I'll get the smaller Cakewalk Home Studio, since I heard it provide 80% of what SONAR does at about 1/3 the cost. And get a C1 because I've read such raving reviews on it for vocals. The two will set me back about $300. I also saw on ebay that a brand...

    Cakewalk SONAR vs. SP C1

    I'm torn between what to upgrade. Can I hear some opinions? I do only vocal recording right now. I'm currently using the trial version of n-Track to record and singing into a Shure SM58. n-Track is only 40 bucks to register but seems REALLY basic. Also, I'm not totally satisfied with how my...

    Awesome BOB Bob, I'm totally new to home recording so there's no way I can offer any technical critique. That said. DAMN, I loved it!!! You've got alot of talent. The song as a whole is perfect to me. It all reminds me of Lou Reed. Keep it up! You're an inspiration!

    Problem with recording volume

    Re: Re: Mixer All my equipment was inherited from my dad a couple of years ago. No manuals for any of it. It's a great suggestion otherwise.

    Problem with recording volume

    I've got my wireless SM58 hooked up via XLR to my mixer. Got the mixer hooked up to the sound card from "Tape Out" (R/L) to LINE IN (with Y-connector). Phantom power tried ON and OFF. 1. Why would the volume be so low when recording (both voice and music) from the mixer. 2. Do you lose stereo...

    SM58 Quieter than a PC mic?

    Found article on wiring a mic says <<... the easiest way to use a mic channel for feeding a soundcard is to turn its fader fully down and then use the pre-fade send control to send the mic signal to the mixer's pre-fade output jack. This is normally used to set up monitor mixes, but in the...
