I actually think hes the most overrated. Not my cup of tea to be honest. I also agree with the person who said that most covered and best are two wayyyyyyy different things. But everyone has their own tastes.
Hi, thanks for your response. My Mbox doesnt look like that one though, I think mine is the original. It looks like this... http://76.my/UserImages/Items/1101/23/simonsmart@1.jpg . Hopefully the link works.
Anyways though I dont really know whats up with the sm57. I actually have another thread...
Hey, thanks for the encouragement! Ill give it another shot right now.
Well if Im looking at this right, Im looking at the mix window and the Green/Yellow/Red bar with the numbers to the right of it. It is in the low green, around -60.
Tapping the mic on the head of it only brings it to -22...
Ok, I will post something tomorrow or saturday because i accidently didnt save the one i recorded before. Maybe i will try a different song thats easier lol. I will also try singing with my abs and of course practice:)
Hi, thanks for all the responses. I am using the original Mbox with pro tools 8 le. The reason i want to get rid of the 57 is because i have never had success with recording acoustic or vocals. it is ALWAYS too low and ive posted on here for help but got nothing. I get 10x the quality with my...
Hello everyone, so today I started singing. Never sang a song in my entire life, literally. Im quite shy so not even for fun or anything. Anyways I tried a cover of the only living boy in new york by simon and garfunkel and recorded it real quick to hear myself. It seems like im pushing it out...
Ok so I have the original mbox and pro tools 8 le. I have just started using it basically because for forever I couldnt get it to work. Im currently using a USB mic and mixcraft to actually record because pro tools never works. Anyways, under devices (i have windows 7 64 bit) the mbox is listed...
Hi everyone. I currently have a Shure sm57 but its not exactly the right fit for me. Whats a decent condenser that is around the same price as the 57 assuming I sell it used and buy one used? Thanks for any help.
I dont think I know. Is it the green/yellow/red bar on the mix window?
to LDS, on the back of it under model number all it says is 'MBOX' and I am connecting it via USB
I am putting the gain, mix, and headphone knobs as high as they can without distortion (or with minimum distortion). Should i be raising the volumes on pro tools?
Idk if I uploaded them correctly. Anyways, 'Audio 1_01' is with nothing done in Pro tools and all the knobs on the mbox at 12 o clock. Its also fingerpicked. The next one, 'Audio 1_02' is the same settings but played with a pick. both of these are very low. The next one, 'Audio 2_01' is...
Hi, thanks for all the responses. I just recorded some things. It seems like the distortions are not as bad as when I first tried. Anyways, Im right now bouncing the files to a disk to upload (cant seem to find a better way of doing this). Once there done ill upload them.
both essentially. the volume is so low i can barely hear the guitar and when i raise it it is too distorted to even listen to. Keep in mind this is the only thing I have ever tried to do with pro tools. I am going to try recording an electric guitar and seeing if i get any distortion or anything
haha i have some good jokes but they are quite offensive. heres a corny one though... Two gold fish are in a tank. One turns to the other and asks, "How the hell do you drive this thing?" haha
