    Setting recording levels

    Yo, I have a question about my 424--and recording in general really--that's been niggling me a bit. Suppose I'm setting the recording levels for an instrument. Obviously, I want the cleanest-sounding recording possible. So, for optimum results, do I: a) Turn the channel (volume) fader all...

    Computer recording: is my processor up to spec?

    Hi there, I'm afraid I've got another quick question: Recently I've started recording onto my computer and have been getting unsatisfactory results. When I record, I find that syllables and beats have been omitted, and the timing muddled up. It seems that my computer cannot not 'keep up'...

    Can you drag tracks freely in Acid XPress?

    Hi, Hoping someone can help. I recently downloaded Acid XPress in order to mix some tracks that had previously been recorded onto cassette. You see, I recorded the guitar and vox separately onto tape, and then I converted the separate tracks from analogue to digital into wav files. Now...

    Please help, my recordings are too quiet...

    ...I'm running a Shure SM58 into a cheap Phonic mixer (for preamplification), then into the line-in of my PC's soundcard. The problem is, even with all levels and gain well up, my recordings don't come out anywhere near loud enough (a waveform with visible amplitude would be nice!). Generally...

    does anyone else have a noisy pc?

    .....cos the pc i use to record makes a steady whir considerably louder than most i've experienced. i think it's probably one of the internal fans. so considering i'm recording in the same room as this beast and it's making a considerable impact on the level of background noise, i'm wondering...

    mic in or line in?

    hi, i've recently ordered a small mixer for my preamp needs, and i'm plugging it into my pc's soundcard. i was wondering if i would want to connect this to the mic input on my soundcard (where i've existingly connected just a mic), or to the line in. what's the difference? will one work and...

    Eq

    this subject has no doubt been broached many times before, but i was just wondering what everyone does: do you apply equalisation when recording the signal, or do you leave it untouched and then add it afterwards if necessary? or have i got something wrong and does EQ only really refer to the...

    hi, i'm new to this board.....

    .......i've been reading the posts for about a month and thought it was probably time to register and say hi. :D other than that, afraid there's not really a constructive reason for this post, ie. a question/fact/opinion or something. sure i'll have plenty of q's on the way tho, as i finish...
