Does anyone know how to rip a song from a vocal track so that the only thing used will be the vocals?? I realize that due to all the mixing that goes on in studios that this will not be perfect with maybe a few instruments bleeding in but I dont mind that. If anyone could help, I really want...

Hey everyone : ) Does anyone know how to get that effect tht all the rappers are doing nowadays where the voice slows down, usually on one word, and it kinda has a "eerrww" type sound to it? This is difficult to explain but it's on almost any modern rap song. I do have both autotune and...

I'm looking into a new vocal condensor for around $2-300.. just wondering what you guys would suggest. What have you used and been amazed?? with.. I know there are some good mics out there for such a price. I use: -an epiphone masterbuilt guitar -In the past I've used a SM58, and an MXL 909...

Is it an excepted technique to run drums through a preamp..for instance overheads one channel...kick...snare...toms etc...Or do you just ad compression and things later on? Just asking:D

A friend and I have been experimenting with Melodyne...I was just wondering if anyone has ever used this program(plugin) and had any tips/tricks for us as we are still figuring it out. It is like autotune..and from what i can understand it shows you they key of your notes and how far they vary...

I wanted to post a song or two that i have been recording and see what you guys think. I know first of all that there is problems with the low end..it sounds good on my moniters but when i put it in my truck it sounds "rumbly". The drums where tracked on one channel so there is only editing...

I'm tracking drums with a tube ultrasound pre, and a lexicaon alpha interface. My question to everyone is what mics you would put onto the pre (2 oh, 1 snare, 1kick, 2 toms). And how you would use the interface, I currently run the whole mix from a mixer, into the interface in stereo(because...

Hey, I was wondering if anyone has any experience/tips with the tube ultra sound preamp from Behringer. It has added a good bit of gain and warmth to my recordings. I would also like to know if I could plug it into a mixer and let it effect my whole mix, instead of the two channels it has. I...

I've recorded a very good piano player Sunday and I want the recording to reflect her playing (obviously), but I'm having a few problems. 1. If the sound gets a bit loud it seems to overbear my speakers, its not clipping but it has almost the same effect on my ears. I think this is being...

I've always been working torwards this snare sound, and i hope you guys can help. He always has a huge roomy snare sound that still has plenty of punch. I have no idea how to get it, so after two years of trying I decided to turn it over to you guys. There might not even be many underoath...

I think I've come up with a pretty good technique for recording drums w/out an interface but havn't got to try it out yet. I record with a 6 channel mixer into the computer..with all the mics going to one channel into the recording program..therefore I cant edit the tracks individually. Here's...

I'm trying to develop a better understanding of soundcards. I am currently using just a simple dell computer and havn't upgraded the soundcard. If i do chose to I have some questions: 1) Will this enhance my recordings? 2) How much would this cost?(the computer is 05-06' w/ windows xp) 3)Is...

I've been fighting with recording my guitar for months now. Everything else in my mixes are axactly how i want it. I was wondering what you would do. I have a huge room (high ceilings and its also very long). I've tried just micing it(sm58, sm57, sennenheiser??,and whatever else i have)...

I heard that if you really want to make great music than you need Pro Tools...while I know this may not be true I've looked into it a little and heard about it a lot. I was just wondering if there is a cheaper version with quality, or most of all what program would you prefer?

I've been using cakewalk to record some small acoustic demos to get a feel of the program. After recording 2 simple songs something screwed up:eek:. I set an arm for recording, and then I press record, then I get a sort of hissing and popping that wasnt there before (i previously had a nice...

I decided that this was a newb question because I've gone almost a year wondering about this. What are the phases of recording? I've heard the terms mixdown, tracking etc..What do these terms mean (this is where I'll probably be linked to some sort of online dictionary). Also where do you add...

Just wondering what levels you record your snare drum using one mic, compared to the levels of the entire mix (on drums). Mine seems to be louder than the mix the way I have it but when I turn it down the mix overall sounds horrible. This is probably a simple trial and error question but I...

I have had a problem with getting my music the same volume as...i guess you would say the norm?? I posted in the drums forum because im a drummer and i usually track drums first. Maybe it is my equipment. My sound card is all the way up, and i tend to loose quality when I turn my mixer up(it...
