Hi, I'm looking to upgrade to a firewire connection between my mixer and computer. The set up I use now is 1/4" stereo outs (from the mixer) adapted down to a 1/8" stereo line-in to my PC. I only record one track at a time, so my ideal piece of equipment would just be a box that converts a...

I'm doing a melodica / punk project in san antonio. i'm using cool edit pro. basically, everything we have as far as equipment is mid range stuff (mesa boogie amp, SP C-1 mic, etc etc). This is my 10 year of messing around with recording, so the quality is there. All I'm looking for is some...

...so far. These three songs represent the best stuff I've done so far. Written, recorded all instruments (including vocals - except for 'love') by me. click here for my mp3.com page Drinking song - written after listening to alt country, sober-ishly funny song about not having a beer to...

I'm offering my music for mastering, and i will pay for the service. A friend of mine's band had their music mastered and I wsa pretty impressed with the results. My music is well mixed already, however I am looking for more detailed low end (bass drum specifically) any help is greatly...

My questions: 1. which mic(s) to use - from limited Shure selection 2. how should I mix / pan a acoustic guitar / ac. bass / wood conga - vocals will be done later 3. how should I EQ on the mixer? I have heard of recording flat, then EQ'ing the whole mix later, but I think that a little...

I have the standard PCI sound card with the 1/8" line and mic in. I'm just wondering if anyone out there could suggest anything out there thats worth stepping up to for PC based recording. thanks mike http://www.scottfree.homepage.com

ok this is long, but the gist of it is, when i put my art tube mic pre b/t my shure sm-58 and my pc i get a very low signal/noise ratio, but when i replace it with my nanocomp - even though i'm not compressing anything, I get a nice clean sound when i record. here's the art mic pre set up...

i've been asked by two of my friends to record them. they play christian acoustic rock with falsetto vocals, 12 string acoustic, and acoustic bass. the bassist plays chords almost entirely. they have a great dynamic sound and i'm trying to get an idea of how to capture that. i have a shure...

I posted on here earlier seeking comments on our songs before we sent them off to get duped. Well, the results of which can be heard here: http://listeningroom.lycos.com/fan/bands/trdn1/Band.html just search under the ...for life album for all of scottfree's new songs. power pop punk akin to...

i talked a radio guy in denver into playing our music, we're sending off our cd tomorrow. is there anything i can do with this? its just a college/local music show, so to get on a major radio stations main air play, will we need to register (or whatever you call it) with ascap or something...

check out a punk-rock-emo band from colorado springs, CO. at: http://www.freedrive.com/ASP/PostFolderShortcut.asp?fsc=18466393 you'll have to register to freedrive, sorry about that, but you'll get real quick loads, i promise. I took alot of advice from this bbs into recording these songs...

as the subject says, the recording that i make with just a simple computer mic, ends up being out of synch with the test drum loop at around 17 seconds. its like the playback and recording are going at two different speeds. To test it, i played back a drum loop, recorded the drum loop through...

Here's the situation: Two instances of CE are open, one playing a music track, the other recording the vocals - to be later inserted. Sometimes the playback skips, or gets stuck and repeats a small section while recording, which in turn, leaves gaps in the vocal recording. Has anyone else...

So then the logical next question would be....where do i send my CD to get mastered? what is a fair amount to pay? how do i tell if it was a good master? thanks again...

Maybe this should go in the 'newbies' section...anyhoo, can mastering be done simply from a CD? Originally, I thought that you would need DAT, ADAT, etc. so that the mastering party could reach each individual track. But it was never made clear to me, thanks.

Say you have about $500 to spend for home recording equipment, what would you (should i) buy? Here's what I have so far: PC with Cool edit software, Shure SM58 mic, cables, guitar, boom mic stand, headphones. Ok, with those items out of the way, and $500 to spend, what do you consider to be...

Ok here's the deal, my band is recording live drums to four track (through a mixer - the brand or type for any of these is unimportant) The big question is, is how we give the drummer something to drum to, while we only want the drum mics to pick up the drums. Since time and money is limited...
