I am a recording newbie so I typically don't voice my opinions here because I don't really have much valuable to add in most cases. However, I feel like the OP is in the same boat as me so I will give my thoughts on my own progress. I've been trying to get into recording myself and do own a...

Hi CJ, yes I totally get that. I am using Reaper and the included VST instruments. I am looking for pre-made MIDI data files (drums specifically) for actual songs. I did find "backing tracks" but they are just MP3s with vocals taken out of them. But is there a place where I can either buy...

I've recently started to try recording and one of the things I don't have any experience with is MIDI, VST instruments etc. I bought a used Akai Mini MKii last week....cheap for learning. I am curious if instead of programming drums from scratch, I am guessing that there are websites that...

Thanks guys for all the comments and tips! I don't have the budget right now to treat the room so I will just have to experiment, live with the bit of bleed.

I am actually thinking about using two mics as well. An SM57 on the Fishman Loudbox and an MXL LDC on locals....in the same room. But wouldn't the sound of my acoustic guitar be on the vocal mic track as well?

I've seen many videos on Youtube from amateur musicians where they are able to record themselves playing an acoustic guitar and sing at the same time and the audio quality is excellent. I've also seen professionals such as Paul McCartney do this but I guess they can afford the sound engineers...

As someone who is just beginning to record and mix as a hobby, yeah, the HS5/305PMkII/E5 are the price range I am willing to go with for now. Also, 8" monitors will be taking up too much space on my not too big desk. Maybe when I get more serious about this.....I will look into getting better...

Thanks for all the comments so far. I WANT to think that placing monitors close to a wall, whether I have front or rear ported speakers, is less of an practical issue when you're not working in a perfect environment. I want to think that yes it's not ideal but there are so many factors in a...

I am trying to setup a basic home recording studio. I have all the basic items already. I have headphones for tracking and mixing but really want to get a pair of studio monitors. The problem I have is that my room is 12 feet by 10 feet and I cannot afford to move my desk two/three feet away...

I want to use 4CH mode and record my acoustic guitar using the built-in mics, and then plug in a condenser mic into INPUT 1 and record vocals at the same time. INPUT 2 will not be used. Is there a way I can pan the signal from INPUT 1 to BOTH left and right channels in the second WAV file...

Hi, that would be the way I would prefer to do it but the idea is to have him sing and record live everything....with a video camera doing the whole thing. Then I would sync the video with the final mixed audio track. No lip-syncing....with a video performance that's not the actual audio...

Hi, thanks for the comments so far. Yes, I am still living in the old world using a standalone multi-track recorder. I have tried a couple of times in the past 3 years to try and understand Cubase but without success. I am currently using a Tascam DP-008EX. Very basic one.

I have thought about this for a while and never really come up with a possible solution. And I am not sure if there is one. I want to recording a guitar player singing and playing his acoustic guitar at the same time. I want to record the guitar with 2 mics (or one mic and one direct). I...

Hi, I gave up learning Cubase 3 years ago and continued to use my Boss BR-600 until last week, I decided AGAIN to try computer recording. I went and bought a Steinberg UR22 interface and installed Cubase AI 6. I want to record vocals and acoustic guitar at the same time. Since I only have two...

My current setup is a Rode N-T1A connected to an M-Audio AudioBuddy preamp and then into a BOSS BR-600. The problem I am having is that with my Rode connect to my AudioBuddy, I only had to turn up the gain by very little...(and I mean very little....less than a 2mm turn) before the signal peaks...

Go to Google and search for "Recording The Beatles". You should come up with a book published by Curvebender. Not specific to George Martin but I think you'll find it interesting.

I am wondering if anyone out there that still prefers using an all-in-a-box solution for multi-track recording? Like a Tascam DP-01/02/03/004 etc...or a Boss BR-600/800/1200 etc.

I just thought of something. Let's see what you guys think. If I get a small mixer, and plug my acoustic directly into the one input and the SM-57 into the another input, pan them a bit, connect the combined output to the one input into the Lambda Line 1. Then I can sing into the Rode and...

No, the number of inputs for the Lambda is kind of misleading. Once you put something into one of the Line 1, Mic 1 or Instrument input, all other input marked as 1's are disabled. So then I would have to plug the Rode into the Mic 2 input. Essentially you have 5 input options but really you...

Hi, yeah I understand but again, I need to record this at the same time as per my description in post #5.
