Hi-- I rented a Neumann U47 with its frequently mentioned companions, a Neve 1073 and UA 1176 compressor. I've been using ProTools 9 with the MBoxPro, and a couple of dynamic mics. Since the Neve + UA + U47 are considered "standards," I'm guessing that there are some recommended settings for...

Thanks for all the tips, Alchuck. --Re using a mic, I am transferring tapes, rather than singing/playing live on this go-round. But better sound cards are maybe the thing to do. Thanks again.

Hi Alchuck-- To answer your question, the "analog" was the headset that I plugged into my Sounblaster Live! card, as opposed to the "digital" USB headset/cable. My entire question began with someone on one of these forums saying that for voice activated applications, if you use a headset...

Thanks Alchuck and Alfalfa. My USB thought was based on comparing recordings of voice into Windows-Recorder, with an analog and a USB headset, in getting involved with Dragon NaturallySpeaking. The voice recording through my soundblaster (which is fairly new) had background noise sort of like...

This time around, it's a Sony cassette deck, fairly high quality. It has two RCA outputs.

Hi-- I am transferring some songs I wrote to digital format on hard drive, and then to CD. I wonder if there is a cable that works like the USB mics that are used for voice activated programs. Instead of using analog (RCA) outputs from my tape deck into the SoundBlasterLive's mini-stereo...

Good explanations; You've fine-tuned my questions Thanks, Alchuck, for the clear answer. I wonder if you can fine-tune what I understand in these areas: 1) Recording onto CD-s, and regarding Waves: I see that saving a file in 24 bit or 32 bit is possible. I would think that is far clearer...

More Wave / CD / MP3 Questions Slackmaster, thanks for the clear explanation and detail. I teach computer skills and hire teachers, and we emphasize simple and clear communicating. It’s great to get answers about recording from someone who teaches well. Let me make sure I understand these...

Hi Tom, thanks for your answer. A) On your question about how I am recording: To go from the tape deck (a cassette deck for the first round), I have stereo RCA's from the cassette deck into my Soundblaster Live! soundcard. I then used the "Goldwave" program to record my test song, into...

Hi-- Is there a general standard most people are using for songs you will put on CD, and for songs you will send via Internet? I want to take a lot of guitar/vocal recordings I made with analog tape, and convert them to a good CD/digital format. I see that the kind of format, MP3, Wave...
