I have a couple of questions. To all that reply, thank you in advance.
My setup. 1.2Ghz AMD comp with 256MB Ram and an SBLive 5.1 soundcard. I have an SM57 along with an ART Tube MP preamp.
I just set this up today, and now my questions. For some reason when I record in Cool Edit 2K, I only record in mono. Just the left or right channel. Is there anyway to record in stereo? I thought the preamp was stereo. Is there a switch to change it or something? I can copy and paste the left into the right to create a stereo recording, it's just a pain in the ass. I want to record my singing over what is being played off of CD, and just having the Left or Right channel isn't what I want.
Next, are there any programs I can use to either play off the CD in the drive or play a WAV off my hard drive, and be able to record myself singing along? That is without what I am listening to being recorded also. So I end up with just myself a cappella(sp?), but the recording was done in real time so adding it to the music in Vegas will be a snap. That way I can EQ just the voice track. There has to be a way to do this. It would just be easier if I could hear the music and myself singing in my headphones at the same time. Worst case, I'll just put the damn CD in my walkman and listen to it and sing into the computer. I just don't want to do it that way.
Thanks very much guys.
