I posted a song last year and got really good comments, most on my performance though. So I've been working on laying down a guitar track and overdubbing vocals, as opposed to recording everything live. I was surprised how much easier it is to sing when I'm not beating on my guitar at the same...

Hello, I have a simple question about compression in the signal chain. I recently had to upgrade PCs because my 2008 model running XP just wasn't cutting it anymore. With that, I had to upgrade interfaces because my new machine does not have firewire. My new interface is the Universal Audio...

Hello. My apologies if I use the wrong vocabulary. I've been recording singer/songwriter stuff with vocals, acoustic guitar, and occasional acoustic and electric overdubs. I read somewhere about how the inputs should be set to a certain dB level for recording. I normally record acoustic guitar...

Hello. I tried the UTFSE but got limited results. What do y'all do to reduce computer fan noise during recording? In 2009 I bought a then hot rod desktop that claimed to be made specifically for music production. It boasts an insulated case to reduce noise even though I don't know how...

I've recorded dozens of songs but this is my first stab at mixing. I think I need to work more on volume automations on the vocal track. What do y'all think? Hit me hard, make it hurt. Thanks for listening! Time Wasting Away vocals, guitar line, guitar mic

Hello, I think I might know the answer to my own question but still wanted to run it by you all. The other day I was attempting to record into a 4 input audio interface and hit a minor snag. It went vocals, banjo line, banjo mic, guitar line. I thought by plugging in the guitar, it would be less...

Hello everyone, sorry if this is the wrong subforum. Had trouble finding one for my question. I recorded 2 original songs for an album I completed in 2019. Recorded at home on my equipment but mixed and mastered at a recording studio. Now it's 2023 and I wish to put those same 2 songs on a...

So I wasn't sure if this question should be in the Recording Acoustic Guitar thread. In that thread the consensus seems to be aiming two mikes at the soundhole from different directions. Of course there is nothing wrong with this technique, but it is not the only way. I wish to position one mic...
