Hello all
I'm new to the world of home recording and I've come across a problem in my endeavors so hopefully you guys can help me out.
My genre of music is Hip-Hop/ Rap.
As it is right now, hardware-wise I'm using a MXL 990 condensor mic, Behringer Eurorack UB802, pop filter.
Software-wise I'm divided between Cubase 5 and Adobe Audition.
In any case, when I use Cubase 5 to record my vocals there is a fairly strong static hiss in the background. Upon asking at Sam Ash and giving as detailed of a description as possible, I was told that my problem was that I was going from a XLR cable to the PC's onboard soundcard (XLR to 1/8 inch).
I was told that with a USB interface, such as an M-audio Fast Track Pro, this static hiss should be eliminated. He explained that this was because USB processes the signal in terms of events or something rather than the size of the signal.
On a different note, I was advised to fade-in my vocals to help it blend into the instrumental track.
Interesting thing is that when I recorded with Adobe Audition, there was no static hiss whatsoever.
In any case, any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.
