I will be mastering some wav files for a compilation CD to be released on MP3.com :eek: I know. Anyway, I'm looking for tips to maximize sound quality given that I'm ultimately converting the wav files to MP3 files at 128 kbs. Are there specific things people do to minimize the damage on the...

I want to be able to take a bunch of songs and get the levels somewhat even before burning a CD. Final EQ would be nice too. I'd also like to be able to drop track markers in the middle of wav files, but that's not crucial. Mainly I want to know what people use to burn CDs that is flexible...

There's been occasional talk here about the Zoom PS-02 palm studio. I've been using mine a little over a year and love it. I've also put together a compilation CD with other PS-02 users, including liner notes with settings used to achieve various sounds. You can hear the whole dang thing for...

[Crosspost from Cakewalk forum] I've finally (thanks to an article by Chris Upfield) figured out how to get soundfonts working in Sonar - kind of. If I try to load ("attach") an old soundfont (I got them back when I first installed the card a few years ago) it loads fine, plays fine, life is...

I've finally (thanks to an article by Chris Upfield) figured out how to get soundfonts working in Sonar - kind of. If I try to load ("attach") an old soundfont (I got them back when I first installed the card a few years ago) it loads fine, plays fine, life is good. If I try to load one of the...

I'm in the process of taking my brain out of N-track studio (which I still love but for MIDI it just isn't happening) to Sonar. If anyone else has made this transition, I'd love to hear what you found along the way, any tips or problems you solved or whatever. I'm working my way through the...

Here is my first attempt at recording guitar with my new C1. Why guitar? Because everyone always talks about how great it sounds on vocals, which it does, and I wanted to know how it sounds on acoustic guitar. So here are the files. The MP3 is longer, recorded at 192 kbs. For purists...

Here in the new Tape Op I see an ad for the PPA LD-One, a large diaphram condenser mic for a hundred bucks. Wow. So what's the catch. Has anyone tried one of these out? How is it for vocals? Anyone?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm guessing a preamp is just an amp. The "Pre" part refers to its location in the sound chain. Right? So here's my main (second) question. Could I use my clean sounding guitar amp as a pre-amp for vocals? It has an output jack. I know, I could just try it out...

Most sound cards allow you to "boost" or "preamp" the microphone input. I'm guessing that this just boosts the signal coming in digitally, without any real preamp action. In practice I find it boosts the mic noise a lot. Anyone know if there is an actual preamp in there or if it's just a...

Sprinkled throughout these wonderful threads are the occassional gem of an idea. I'd like to start a thread that is just a random assemblage of tips, tricks, ideas, and recording "secrets" you have used or heard about. It can be anything. To start things off, here are a few I'm stealing from...
