I have a cheap home studio setup but the quality is nice, especially for vocals
i use adobe audition for recording, editing, mixing, etc..i have a good m-audio soundcard and i have a apex condensor mic that i run thru a art tube preamp
I wanna do a little EP of acoustic stuff, just me TRYING to sing and playing guitar but I don't know what the best way to record it is
here are my options i think
1. record and sing at the same time...doesn't leave alot of room for editing tho, but i feel it sounds better when u sing and play at the same time then trying to go backwards and sing over the guitar...idk why it just seems weird to me
2. record vocals and guitar on seperate tracks completely..then i could edit both, and clean both up in audition
i've been listening to alot of the beatles lately and noticed alot of their songs they mixed with the guitar in the left speaker and vocals in the right? should i try that or keep everything in stereo
-----------------------
I ALSO have questions on recording electric guitar
should i use a mic in front of the amp? if so how far away should i keep the mic and how loud should i make the amp
my other option is i could run a line directly from the amp to my preamp to the input on my comp....i've tried this and it loses some of the distortion and sounds kinda cheesy, but maybe i'm just not doing something right?
