Wow great responses, thanks! To answer Ido1957's questions, it's definitely a and a little bit of b. and yeah I can definitely here on playback where I'm off, often I can tell as I'm tracking it as well. So I guess that means there's hope! As I push beyond my range that's where I go off pitch...

Will they improve sense of pitch? range? strength of voice? all the above? Here's my dilemma: like many here, I'm stuck recording my own demos without a singer to work with. I like my voice on some parts, but not on others. It's not even a question of range. On some higher parts I like it and on...

Hey quick question. Right now I'm recording demos with an HP 8200 Elite Small Form Factor desktop, with an intel i3 dual core processor with a speed of 3.10 ghz. It's pretty quiet as far as desktops go. So much so that when I'm recording a scratch track vocal in the same room (using an AKG...

Hey all, I'm looking for a large diaphragm condenser mic for vocals and acoustic guitar for home recording. I don't have room treatment up yet, but I do have an Editor's Keys portable vocal recording 'booth', which actually seems to work pretty well. I'd like to get a condenser because I want to...

Ok, I'm a home recording newbie. I'm still experimenting with trying to get good recorded tone at home. The tunes where I've been the most successful is when I've had the guitar amps and the singer in one particular room. Unfortunately, it's the room where my daw is set up. Dang! Those...

Hey that's a cool suggestion too. I tried going to Fm from the F major, but couldn't figure out where to go after that before landing on the Dm. Dmsus might work pretty cool. I'll try that tonight. By the way, I appreciate everybody's feedback, and I certainly appreciate the theoretical...

Thanks! I'll give these a try...

Hi all, I'm working on an original rock tune in the key of G major, and there's a section just before the chorus that I'm struggling trying to figure out chords for. The melody has a little chromatic run, and I need suggestions for which chords to play behind it. The section starts with an F...

Anyone know of a male rock vocalist who would be willing/able to record their lead vocal on my demo tunes if I sent them the wav file of the instrumental tracks? Not looking to spend a ton of money. Thinking maybe $30-$40 per tune, at least to start. Not looking for metal singers or R&B or pop...

Just got a pair of JBL LSR 305 studio monitor speakers. My audio's coming out of a zoom r8 with balanced left and right outputs. The JBL's have two balanced in's: XLR or TRS. Does it make any difference soundwise which I use?

totally hear ya. but I'm sure you know how it is when you have a wife and a kid and rarely anytime alone to crank things up and hit the record button... it's nice to prepare ahead of time to maximize the available time! :thumbs up:

I'm pretty sure the thinking of the comments I had read in other posts/sites was that it was better to record the guitar's DI track at a higher sample rate in order to ensure having the highest quality track possible to feed back out to the amp. Basically in order to give the amp a signal that...

This is all good stuff, and I appreciate the insight! Here's the original intent behind my question. I'm interested in reamping guitar parts. I've read that the DI tracks should be recorded at at least 48 khz if not higher. I can do that, but I want to record the reamp'd guitar parts at 44.1 to...

Thanks for the quick reply. So when people record at 48khz or higher and then convert it to 44.1 when doing a final mix for cd purposes, wouldn't that create the kinds of problems you're referring to?

Quick question: will an audio clip recorded at 48khz/24 bit rate and then converted to 44.1khz/16 bit rate sound as good as a clip originally recorded at 44.1/16 bit? I'd bet probably not. Thoughts?

crap, this is making me wish I had waited before ordering a reamper. Any word on when this will be available for purchase? fryette valvulator gp/di

Hi all, quick question. I did my first reamping experiment over the weekend. I didn't have a whole lot of time so I couldn't experiment as much as I wanted, but I did have one question about the results I've gotten so far. The reamped tracks have just a little bit of a hollow, ever so slightly...

yeah. If I start recording everything at a high sample/bit rate, my cpu's going to freeze up as soon as I start slapping plug-ins on stuff.

I was hoping I could simply start a project at one bit/sample rate, record some dry guitar signals at that rate, then lower the project sample/bit rate in project settings when recording the reamped tracks and everything else. Recording everything at the higher rates is going to hurt CPU wise...

Newbie question: do all tracks in a project have to be recorded at the same bit and sample rate? What happens if they're not? If I'm going to mix the whole thing down to 44,100 hz, 16 bit rate anyway, does it matter? By the way, I'm using Cubase LE on a pc with a zoom r8 for an interface. Thanks!
