    Ultralite + DAV BG-1 or Metric Halo ULN-2?

    I've been hanging around and posting on Gearslutz lately, and I feel as though this may have put my standards way out of whack. I'm realizing that I don't need high-end gear to get really good sound, but GS seems to have planted this thought in my head. That being said, I still want quality...

    Proper tracking levels

    I've been recording my first few songs lately, and have quickly learned that you can't track too hot. But here's my question: Should every instrument peak around the same level? Or does the nature of the instrument and the type of sound it creates determine where it should peak?

    What happens before tracking?

    I don't have separate rooms for my computer and monitors and such and the room where instruments are played, so I've always used headphones while placing the mics. I know they say that you should try to get the best sound possible while tracking, so mixing is easier and more smooth - but do...

    How to connect my monitors to my interface...

    I ordered the Wharfedale Diamon Pro 8.2s yesterday, and I'm looking for a cable to connect them to my Firestudio Mobile. These will be my first monitors, so I don't have any experience with the connection. They have balanced XLR ins and unbalanced RCA ins, and obviously the Firestudio has a main...

    Mixing through an interface...?

    I don't understand how you can plug your headphones into an interface that is connected to a computer and listen to the computer's output through the interface, and mix this way. Same with monitors. Does it actually work this way? Or am I mistaken? The headphone out on my Firepod lets me...

    Here is my planned home studio setup...

    I've recently started a musical project with a friend of mine, and now have the need to record. Over the past few years, I've read lots of internet articles and have accumulated a fair amount of knowledge. I've had a bit of practice recording different things, but I'm still only an amateur...

    How loud are final mixes supposed to be?

    I know that mastering brings up the overall volume of a song quite a bit, but does this mean that a final mix is supposed to be quieter? I've recorded a bit, and every single song, even after a rough mix, is never loud enough, even when I make sure that levels peak at around correct points. Are...

    DAW vs. Digital multitrack

    I've been using Logic Pro on my Macbook Pro for a while now, and I really enjoy using it. But, I'm considering selling my computer, and that would mean no more recording, so I'd have to look into a digital multitrack. I've never used one, mainly because they seemed to difficult to use to work on...

    How are perfect songs recorded?

    When in a semi-professional recording situation, does the musician keep trying take after take after take until he gets a perfect one? Or is a decent take recorded and then fixed of all mistakes in post-production? I'm just curious as to how songs end up so musically flawless on CDs.

    Song loses tons of volume when bouncing from Logic to .mp3

    My band just finished recording a song, and I've got it all mixed and ready. I just bounced it from Logic into .mp3 format and brought it into iTunes. Its total volume is a great deal quieter and it sounds really weird and compressed. Now, I know .mp3 isn't the greatest of quality, but did I do...

    Is there a general volume/gain rule when tracking?

    I'm planning on getting some songs recorded in the next week or so, and haven't had a whole lot of time recording. I've done quick, sloppy demo stuff but never anything like I'm planning on doing now. So I have a question. When tracking, (and this goes for everything - drums, guitar, bass...
