To cut a long story short...I have an iMac (running OSX Leopard) with Logic Studio 8, and want to record my songs to it.

I have a Kord X5D synth, Behringer C-1 XLR microphone, and Takamine (EG510SC) semi-acoustic guitar.

But I have no idea what sort of set-up gear I need for audio-recording with.

Well worth a look on how they recorded Solti in the 60s - pretty impressive.

Hello
My question is related to Midi and not to Ableton strictly, and since I'm using Ableton I will post it here.

Hey all, this will be my first post on the forum.
I seem to have a problem with static/white noise. even when my mic is muted on my Behringer x2222. My mic is an AKG P420.
The white noise always shows up when I normalize a track, whether I'm recording nothing or my guitar or voice. I'll put up some pictures of my configuration too. Thanks for the help in advance!

So I recently got a new computer and installed all the same equipment onto this superior computer, however I have been recording issues. I keep running into a strange cracking noise that appears randomly in my audio, its not from any outside sources and I turned off my anti-virus and has not worked. When testing this issue i have to keep recording for around 3-5 minutes until I hear it.

hey all. I've been bouncing this around around in the noggin. Take DAW of your choice, and picture a basic 24trk audio mix, with a plugin on each channel. This type of session would run on just about any computer hardware from the last ten years.

For some reason my bass sounds really distorted and bassy. When I do a low cut and put a compressor on it it sounds much better though. Is this normal? I am plugging my bass directly into my Focusrite Scarlett 18i8. I have attached an mp3 of the unprocessed bass.

Hi everyone,

Microsoft recently announced "Quantum Computing". My understanding of it is instead of 1's & 0's we will have 0's 1's 2's and 3's. The result? Your present computer will soon become yet another digital door stop. Yippie! Gotta love it!

This would be one of the most bizarre instruments I have ever seen.

The Euphone is a rare instrument made in France based on a cristal baschet with a very ethereal sound.
