    More vocal punch?

    It seems odd that this particular artist would work that way. I would of thought he'd prefer to record live, given the style etc. ..

    More vocal punch?

    How have they achieved that? The song isn't to a click and is very 'felt' on the piano. I imagine this would be hard to capture the vocal parts in time etc.... it sounds as if he is right up close to the mic too. Normally if I were recording a song 'properly' I'd use a vocal booth/filter and...

    More vocal punch?

    It's all one take. The piano sound is Addictive keys vsti. So there is some bleed from this from monitors behind me, hence the slighty muddy piano sound. The video might be slightly out of sync as I've only just begun video editing having never done any before. The rumble is probably traffic...

    More vocal punch?

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MO-23zAUVu4 here's my latest effort. Im struggling to get the vocal to sit where it needs to be. is my track just not (mastered) loud enough or do I need to compress the vocal more ? Limiting wise I'm hitting 4db of GR every now and again. I'm trying to...

    Dithering (Cubase)

    I'm applying all of my master plugs on the stereo buss (mastering in the box) I've recorded everything in 24bit. I apply the cubase dither plugin (UV22) after my limiter and have the settings set to 16bit Hi. 'Hi' as in high resolution I assume.... I then export my track as a 16bit WAV..... is...

    Recording di of guitar amp

    I basically want to record my amp with an sm57 but also take the recorded the di signal from the amp too. I plan to use effects on this di signal to sculpt a different sound altogether and blend it back in with the miked track. My amp is a fender deville. Do I just plug a jack from the out of...

    JBL 305 questions

    Loving the sound of these monitors so far! Should have the input sensitivity switch set to -10 or +4? In using a presonus firestudio project interface with the speakers connected via balanced trs cables. Also, the main output volume pot crackies lots when I adjust it so I want to avoid using...

    Recording korg volca (headphone jack)

    I realise I have to connect the volca from the 1/8 headphone jack. I'm under the impression that I should use a 1/8 to dual 1/4 cable. I've plugged it in mono using a 1/4 adaptor into a line input but can't get any signal unless I turn the preamp up on my interface (firestudio project) all the...

    External mic preamp use with presnous firestudio

    How comes I can use this? And how would I set up that input in vst connections. I only have 1-8 inputs available here (the ones on the front of the unit assumingly) if these apply to channels 1-2 then the manual states these are not for line inputs (not sure about those returns though) Tah

    Syncing microkorg with cubase artist

    In my vst connections there isn't a tab for external instruments listed. Only the ins and outs. What I ultimately want to do is write in midi parts via cubase and then send this data out to the korg, finally recording audio out of the korg back into cubase on to an audio track. How does one do...

    External mic preamp use with presnous firestudio

    The gain knob on the interface does indeed affect the signal further. If these inputs are true line then surely the adjusting the gain shouldn't have any effect. I've read (forums etc) to leave the interface gain at 0 when using an external as it distorts the signal too much. :/

    Mic, preamp, or interface

    This is exactly why I am thinking of a external pre... the interface is too clean. I want some character. Surely most studios would opt for an external pre over any interface pre...?

    Monitors

    I am torn between a selection of monitors (upgrading from m-audio av30) Here is my shortlist: Rokit rp6's Jbl 305 or 308's Presonus eris E5's My main concern is whether to go for the larger 308's or any of the other contenders. My room is fairly large (living room/dining room L25ftX14ft) and...

    External mic preamp use with presnous firestudio

    I'm thinking of buying a golden age pre 73 Jr. The present on my firestudio project are way too clean for my liking. I have tested out a external preamp before using the line inserts on the combi inputs of the interface but noticed the the gain knob still affected the signal. Should this not...

    Ferric TDS Issue

    I love this plugin as it subtly adds some warmth to tracks.... But In the manual it states that the best performance is obtained if the audio input is -0dbfs and that in bypass mode the needle should just be hitting the red on the VU meter. Now I've been taught (like most people) not to have...
