    Which smartphone for recording little ideas?

    I just got the iPhone SE and considered the Rode IXY. Which would be overkill for scratch tracks IMHO. But might be a good coincidence pair for acoustic guitar and certain recordings. Maybe someone will chime in with some experience with the rode, I assume it should be pretty decent. Edit- the...

    Miking or DI?

    I'd recommend trying out Native Instruments for amp sims, there layout could be a little better but I like there tones. Usually what I do is run my guitar into a D.I. box and one line out goes to interface and the other to my amp for latency free recording and not having to commit to a sound...

    Sound Meter and Room Noise Levels

    In my old house I was getting about that -50 to -55. I was very happy with it (although I really don't think that low is necessary).... Probably be louder where I'm at now. On the logic 9 demo song, same with the beyonce mix tracks,they didn't edit out a ton of things I would've. In the mix...

    Recording Levels

    You'll want to do one or the other 100% software or hardware, in my experience it always sounds horrible mixing the two. I usually use hardware monitoring because theres less chance of something going wrong. My way is going into a direct box one line goes into interface and the other goes to...

    AT2020 sound quality / volume

    @dotnik I listened to your audio for a couple of minutes. I think the ambient sounds are typical with your situation. You can set up a noise reduction plugin that will silence everything below a certain dbs (whatever you set it too). you'll have to experiment with this to see if it will work for...

    Noob asks help!!!!!

    Focus on the good advice these guys are giving you first. Just a couple thoughts came to my mind with some mics you can clip the microphone, and it you a doing a song with really quiet to very loud,you can record them separately with different amounts of gain and distances from mic.

    Which Mac should one buy?

    I keep my plugins on my internal with O.S. and logic x. The external is just where the project is recorded too. It's too much work for one drive to read logic/plugins ect. and write audio at the same time to that internal drive. Hope that helps.

    I would get an external drive 7200rpm to record audio to and also get an internal that fast. I have an iMac i7 2.8ghz, 8gb from 2010 and it's hanging in there. Don't forget you can always freeze or bounce tracks, although I rarely do. I would recommend logic x as I'm happy with it, note I'm...
