Crap, I got another problem. I recorded the first track which was guitar. Then I recorded the second track while the first track was playing, and the vocals started to speed up, and it got all out of line, How do I fix it?

HNLzero 08-31-2004 11:54 PM

hey i direct in my guitar with a rp200a and the sound always buzzes if i play too loud or something. How can be able to play as loud and free as I want without worrying about anything?

the buzz is a little bit similar to ...and justice for all sometimes

jcbsc 09-01-2004 03:19 PM

Which level do you adjust so the mic in the headphones isn't so loud. Because than I can't hear the first track and I end up recording out of time :\

theabstract 09-01-2004 03:43 PM

^^^in put gain most likely

herobehindthemsk 09-01-2004 04:11 PM

ok i understand that you need headphones....but what do you play in them...the instrumental parts to the song...and aslo what's the best inst. part to record first..prob guitar...sorry about the stupid questions

theabstract 09-01-2004 04:52 PM

ok...you play the parts that have already been recorded in the headphones.
Probebly best to record drums first

Spliggity Splot(I got banned) 09-01-2004 07:01 PM

ok I guess I'll just put the metranome up while I'm recording and try to keep in my head what the instrumental's are doing. The stuff I recorded today sounds AWESOME!!thanx a bunch for you help the abstract! :D

I'm back. Having another question...

I have a 1/4" -> 1/8" adapter. I used it when I wanted to record direct in stuff. I tried it the other day with my acoustic-electric and it came out totally horrible. I'm just wondering, could it be the adapter, or the fact that I'm going direct in? I've tried the same thing with my bass, but it came out the way one would expect, absolutely dreadful sounding.

So, when I do get my hands on a mic, should I still run my mic's 1/4" cable through this adapter and into the line in? If not, what other alternatives do I have, since I'm not planning on buying a mixer (as I'll only have one instrument playing at a time - for the moment...)?

Make sure the adapter is plugged in all the way. Mine was only like 3/4 of the way in and it sounded really bad. That might be ur problem.

take off the vent. Shouldn't be too hard cuz it's already duct taped on anyways right:thumb:?. Maybe buy a new one for like ten bucks at home depot, or U can do what I did at my old house and just cover it with a peice of mesh clothing or T shirt.

Spliggity Splot(I got banned) 09-01-2004 10:02 PM

or turn the amps down:thumb:

LeDbOx 09-02-2004 09:59 AM

its not that kind of vent, its the kind that comes directly from the heater and runs from one side of the room to the other and is attached from the ceiling. i guess i could try to turn the amps down but its just not the same sound..... anyone with ideas on how to stop it from vibrating would be appreciated.

theabstract 09-02-2004 03:02 PM

^^^use tape or something, just do anything to stop it i guess

HNLzero 09-02-2004 04:46 PM

HNLzero 09-05-2004 05:05 PM

Spliggity Splot(I got banned) 09-05-2004 05:20 PM

HNLzero 09-05-2004 05:47 PM

Hey guys im having a delima... Ok i went to guitar center sometime in march and bought a whole lot of **** so i could record a demo for my band. Were on a low budget so we bought vocal mics to mic everything. (drums, bass, guitar, ect) I also bought a mixer. A behringer pmx2000. I also have sonic foundry sound forge 7.0. (kazza) So we rented a hall and its big enough for us to space out etc. I setup everything and start to play/record and when we finish a song and listen to it, everything is super unbalanced. Yea it was probably from the mics and we didnt really kno how to mic anything.

Ok so we read up on recording and we kno how to mic drums and all that stuff corectly this time. But we still have crap mics. But well get around it. Also, I went to guitar center the other day and bought a mobliepre usb. The guy said its like a soundcard. But i cant get it to work at all. Its being retarted. It also came with some software that i cant get to work either. Live Delta and Reason Adapted.

Any help?

Retrovertigo 09-05-2004 06:29 PM

explain more on the soundcard, will it simply do nothing? you have to reset the computer, or go into the control panel and recognize the card. sorry, i only know about pcs, not macs.
