I'm really trying to make some good cuts but I ain't feelin my quality at all. I'm workin wit cool edit now. I got a new mic and my voice sounds fine, cept this lisp thing . I don't know what to mix my vocals to. I would use pro tools but I don't got the hardware. I don't know if I should start saving or not. Can anyone help?
get a better mic meaning a large diaphram studio condensor mic with pre-amp....practice at mixing by listening to what other radio ready songs sound like, and trying different things to get yours to sound the same way...but the less you have to do to a track in terms of effects the better, or if they are used, it's minimal....
if you have an ass soundcard, it'd help to invest in another one, that allows 24bit processing and 96 recording....the program you use to record into (Cool Edit) does NOT effect your quality...your recording environment and equipement does.
i got a new 80.00 mic. it sounds pretty good but maybe it is my sd card. i just got prollems mixin my stuff down but i'll invest in a sd card. thx for replyin n e wayz
price has never made anything "good"...i specifically said "large diaphram condensor studio mic" for a reason...get one....you can have a $500 mic, but if it's cardiod, it's always gonna be wack...and no use having a ceondensor mic if you don't have some sort of pre-amp...i have mine running through an old school 8 track mixer, but it has external volume/EQ control which is key, cause your PC is not equiped to make good use of the sounds coming from your mic unless it is pre-processed some how...some hi end soundcards allow this as well...
no use investing if you not investing correctly....do your research

What kind of mixers u mean? I know razzia told me bout that once but I've seen a couple. I don't know n e thing bout em. I know my new mic goes in thru the usb port and is s'pose to be equipped wit a sound card. Maybe I gotta read directions more.

wtf??????
through the USB???????? oh my god...RETURN THAT PIECE OF SHYT and go to musiciansfriend.com and buy ANY MXL large diaphram studio mic....it has the sound quality of a Rode N series for anywhere around $70-300...so you can come out cheaper than your "$80" mic that's obviously a piece of shyt....through the USB man???? no...no mic worth having goes through USB, that's not even a real audio port...and the mixer i have is an 8 track mixer...nothing special, my outboard has a 4 band EQ, pan, aux to outs for each channel, of which there are 4 inputs and 4 outs, and the old fashion analog tape recorder directly onboard...this shyt is as cheap as it gets, but it does the trick, cause i run my mic through it, and my music from my PC back through it to my speakers, so i can do real time mixing onboard as well as on my PC screen
it's like this....go to musiciansfriend.com and look around, research everything you might need, then do the same thing @ zzsounds.com til you start to gain a knowledge of what you're lookin for and what it does...asking people who can't sit down with you and teach you is a wrong step, educate yourself. look for the shyt, seek the knowledge.
yeah i have a good mic, but my quality is still garbage 'cuz my soundcard, look into that.
either that or kill urself.
you prolly don't have a good mic...i'm willing to bet you don't, that or you don't have it hooked up correctly
ya'll just don't know how nominal a sound card really is, cause for the budget you're gonna use on one won't get you ANYTHING that's gonna upgrade your SoundBlaster or SoundBlaster equivalent card. you're still gonna record @ 48/16 which is CD quality, and recording @ 96/24 can't be distinguished by the naked ear anyways, so 99.99% of you wouldn't hear the difference.....but if you're a producer, you can get a relatively cheap sound card that'll allow you to transfer your midi data @ 96/24 if that's any consellation.....but vocals??? ahha...you'll be hard pressed not to spend more on your sound card than you did on your PC
u can check alot of shyt on www.music123.com as well. I have a delta 44 sound card. ps800 mixer and a dope soundcard. One other thing is. YOU HAVE TO have a computer that's AT LEAST a pentium three and you NEED alot of ram. 128 MEGS in the MINIMUM. I got ALMOST 400 megs on my shyt. I just need a new mic and I'm all set

pentium 3 750 wit like 640 ram....and my processing speed is still too slow...makes me have to do certain things in an order so that it don't lock up....actually...it just won't let me be sloppy wit it like i want to...makes me do what you're supposed to do like press stop before pressing play again, instead of moving the cursor and pressing play without pressing stop....but that's only when i have more than 1 bus going, so it's manageable.
hey Woo are those Behringer condenser mics and pre-amps any good?
from what i hear, yea....but make sure it's the B-1 or something like it aka large diaphram....small diaphram condensor mics are for instruments and choirs...unless you recording one, don't buy the shyt, get a large diaphram.
also whats up with the SM58? lotta talk bout those
the only people that talk about the SM58 are internet people who don't know how to build a studio or what they're buying...
i don't fukk wit Shure, cause to me they have the shyttiest product for recording...the SM58 is NOT a studio mic, it is NOT supposed to be used for recording, it IS a performance mic i.e. for live shows, it WILL NOT give you a clean recording of anything becuase it is a CARDIOD mic, not a CONDENSOR...to be honest it's not even a good performance mic, it's actually an overall trash mic that no one should own unless you just don't care about quality.
