I have a question about M/S mic technique. I really like it, but why does the left channel get louder when I raise the volume of the "M" mic panned center against the "S" mic channels? The Left and right channel was created in my DAW by cloning a track from the S mic, then flipping the right channel out of phase and hard panning both channels hard L and R.

...sure is disheartening to spend 1/2 hour or more writing a new post about a question, in detail, only to post and have it never show up, even a few hours later...:frown:

sigh.

Hi (beginner here):

I'm recording a guitar amp. I'm using a RODE NT1 thru a Peavey VMP2 pre, right to the interface (Audiophile 2496). But as I turn up the volume I get the interface input overloaded, even with the pre -20db input pad enabled.

Do I need to get into a console after the pre in order to attenuate the signal?

Thanks in advance!

Anyone have a PDF service manual for my old Porta One? I use it for my "couchside idea" recorder, with my old Harmony (with Dean Markley PU) plugged into it. "Hmmm...that's an interesting chord progression...hit power switch, hit 'record'."

HI!

I am currently considering a new digital interface for recording.

I feel like a total dork. I was recording lead vocals for my latest soon-to-be-rejected-smash-hit. I always do multiple takes and later comp them because I'm terribly self-conscious about my own voice.

Anyway, in my foolishness I must have moved the microphone and kept on recording. So the first few takes are a neutral sound and the last few takes are trebly.

hi
i have a home recording studio consisting of
condensor microphone,
Yamaha mixer.mg16/4
fostex de10 effects unit.
ELV compressor.
tapco graphic equalizer.
Behringer mic2200 mic preamp amp
and an amplifier

I read a great reply to a different post about upgrading to an external soundcard and I wondered if this would apply to me also if I am only recording vocals over instrumental tracks and my signal chain is mic>preamp>interface>PC USB input. The songs will be mixed by the producer, I'm only adding my vocals. I record with Cubase LE.

Thanks for any advice.

Maybe I'm barking up a non-existent tree however is there any way that my DAW app (Digital Performer) can send a MIDI control to a effects processor on the fly?
