Hi Everyone,

I was planning on buying a Akai MPD26 MIDI Controller and wanted to incorporate hip hop beats on top of my guitar rhythm that I record. What would be the best software that will allow me to have a diverse amount of hip hop sounds, but also allow me to record like I would normally? Thanks.

I am Micing an acoustic guitar with 2 condensor mics(not the greatest, but fair), using an ART Tps II 2 channel preamp, and a Korg D888. In the past I felt I have recorded with the levels too loud, not peaking, but with the gain high enough that it creates a guitar tone that is far from what I desire. I have found at lower levels the tone is more natural and warmer.

Hey guys so basically I just got a Tascam US 1800 and when I plug my guitar into the interface and then adobe audition I never get any sound. I can record drums just fine, but i have no clue how to get any signal what so ever on guitar. What do i do?

This is making me the most frustrated. I cannot get my acoustic guitar bit to sound good, it sounds like I'm recording it into my embedded laptop microphone, is it my playing? Here's some details:

Hi folks, I'vedone a few searches but don't seem to find quite what I'm looking for inexisting threads. Here's my situation. I'm going to record a group of singers accompanied by acoustic guitar. They are going to sing Christian songs in the Ojibwe langauge.

I've been recording vocals for a few years now but (i'm embarrassed to say) I've never recorded a guitar in my home. Well tomorrow I get to, or have to do it.

Sorry if this is the wrong place for this. It seems there are other threads of this type here, so...

I am working with a modified Yamaha Pacifica (new compliment of passive pickups and heavy gauge strings) played through a VOX VT40+ practice amplifier:

i'm in the market for a new acoustic. i want something that sounds nice on a recording as well as plays well live. anyone have experience recording different acoustics? which did you like best to mix and which did you like the sound of best? my price range ultimately is around 5-600$

My set up is this... Mac computer/Garageband, M-Audio MK2 Fast Track, Martin Guitar 000CXE which is a small body guitar. I have a low end dynamic Shure mic and a tube mic. Both of these have given me minimal results with much experimentation with mic placement etc. I have also tried blending the tube mic recording with the guitar directly plugged in to the interface. This sounds "ok".
