Hey all, just got my project studio up and running but am having minor grounding issues. I have everything run into a power conditioner then that to the wall. I am getting a small 60 cycle hum through my monitors. its not loud but audiblle when the room is silent. Also my guitar is getting a buzz only when i fret notes, this is a new phenomina since assembling this new space.

Please tell me how to use these effects in my song, are they echo? reverb? delay? where are they panned. i do notice some pre-delays as well. i am very new to recording. here is the songs in which i have made it karaoke at some places to make easier to notice how they are panned. Thanks. Really would appreciate it.

My bet is it's about Rick Rubin as Willy Show recording Audioslave. .That's my guess since there's a line about "thinking with his 'beard'"

any other guesses?

hi all i am new to recording...

Could someone correct any of my thinking here, and answer my questions also? Please read carefully and make sure you
understand the question before responding. If I am not making myself clear, I can make a 5 minute video and post it on YouTube and post a link to the video with me demonstrating and asking the question.

Are stereo channels considered single channels on a mixing board or is each stereo channel equal to 2 mono channels?
In other words, if a mixer has 40 channels total with 4 of the channels stereo would it be a 36 x 4 or a 32 x 4?

Is there a console or an interface that has faders on each channel that you recorded that you can adjust the level of the highs and lows? or is there just a fader for volume? Because i know you can get an interface like the M-Audio project mix that has the auto fades. But is there something that i can hook up to my pc that alows me to do that too, also not owning any pro=tools gear.

What is the best software to use when using a firepod to record with? Also price? and also on a mac and pc?

I'm wondering if somebody can help me out.

This is my following scheme in order:

Ernie Ball Silouhette Guitar
BBE Green Screamer
Big Muff (Russian)
Boss OC2
Boss DD5
Boss Tuner
Roland JC120 Amp (CH2)
