Ok I lied to get your attention. Sorry. My REAL question is about interfaces (again). I got some helpful feedback in my last post, but here's what I've narrowed my search down to: Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 USB Audio Interface at zZounds Roland UA-55 Quad Capture USB 2.0 Audio Interface at zZounds...

Hello all, Title says it all. I'm going to be upgrading my interface from a M-Audio Fast Track Pro and I would like to hear some opinions on interfaces. The reason I'm getting rid of this thing is because it's been doing weird stuff with my left monitor - like loud popping when I turn the...

Here is the first track of an album that I'm working on. This is currently just instrumental and MAY stay that way. If I put any vocals in, they will be like a distant monologue with a "old radio" sound to them. Comments? Thoughts? Suggestions? Critiques? Follow the soundcloud link below and...

Ok. Here's my setup: MXL-990 Condencer running into an ART Tube Pac Comp/pre which then runs into an M-Audio interface and into the computer. I'm trying to record clean rock vocals (similar to The Killers, Young the Giant, The National....roughly that style) and I'm really having trouble...

Hey everyone, After decades of reading on this forum (starting about an hour ago:-P), I have narrowed my low-budget search for a compressor/preamp to these three contestants: Joemeek's ThreeQ Presonus Studio Channel Focurite TrakMaster If YOU were stranded on an island with nothing to do but...

Hey all, I hate to say I'm a newbie because I've been recording for about 5 years. But as much as I hate to say that, I also hate to say that I have no idea where to start with compression! I have a decently conditioned room, an MXL 990 mic, an m-audio fast track pro and an ART TubePac...

Hey, I have an ART Tube PAC preamp/compressor and am trying to get the right sound out of it. occasionally, I'll get it sounding good....but I honestly don't know what everything does on it. The front panel basically contains the following buttons and knobs: Gain +20db Threshold (compression)...

Hey all, For those of you who have read some of my previous questions, I would like to apologize for my lack of clarity in the posts:) To be frank, (I love that phrase) I didn't know enough of the studio "lingo" to say exactly what I want....anyway! I am hoping to get at least one of three...

So I got really good at using Cakewalks TTS-1 synth for drumming on my keyboard...then I got Cubase SX3. For some reason, I can't seem to get Cubase to recognize the TTS-1 DXi. Now I am either in search on a new drum sampler that will have two bass drums around the "B0", "C1" area on the...

Hey all, Anyone have any tips on fixing S's and T's in vocal recordings? I've gotten everything elst about where I want it, but just cant get passed my S and T sounds scratching up my song! I know it's just not me because it happens with all the vocalists that I record (I've tested it on three...

First off I would like to state that I AM ALL FOR RECORDING WITH REAL DRUMS - but I don't have a drumset or regular access to one for recording. So I have been programming drums in FL Studio and have gotten the drums to sound "real" enough but it just makes it a bit hard to do fills and such. My...

Hey I'm getting into recording vocals and am trying to escape the "recorded at home" sound despite the fact that I am, in fact, recording at home...yeah. Anyway, I have MXL 990 condenser mic (with a redneck pop-filter), m-audio fast track pro, and I'm currently running reaper. So! any tips or...

Hey all, I've been getting to know cubase le 4 recently and started really liking it. That is until I ran into a problem. I realized that le 4 will not allow me to run a multi-channel vst (like edirol orchestral) through multiple midi channels. Basically, I want to be able to have one copy of...

Hey all, Setting up a home studio here and am down to the software choice. I have Reapers demo running and like it so far - but could go for a more professional opinion. I have toyed with Cakewalk's Sonar and like that a lot too - seeing the huge price difference, what does Sonar have that...

Hey all, I'm setting up a home recording studio and have come down to choosing the right software. I have toyed with Sonar 8 Producer and really like it but cannot afford it - I can however afford Sonar Home Studio 7. Does anyone know what differences "home studio" has from producer? Also, if...

Hey all, I am slightly new to recording and have some qt's about using compression. First off, my budget is low so does anyone have any favorite vst compressors that are free or cheap? Second, when I'm using compression, should I compress individual tracks? Or should I mix the tracks down and...

Hey I have a M-Audio Keystation and Adobe Audition 3.0. Basically, I am trying to figure out how to use the controller with the software so I can play/record with my vsti's. I know that the controller works fine because I use it in FL Studio without trouble. Anyway, any help would be...
