I am getting ready to buy my first audio interface. With no digital recording experience, I need some advice on monitoring overdubs. I had been looking at the Focusrite Clarett 2Pre Thunderbolt audio interface (connected to my HP Spectre x360 with Thunderbolt 3) because it has especially low latency in hopes that I would be able to monitor my live overdub tracks via the DAW.

Hi! I have a problem.

In my never-ending quest for new tones and textures, I have recently overdubbed my rhythm guitars 20 times.

That's 20 takes of them playing in unison. I want an "orchestra" effect, and I don't mind doing the overdubs.

Thing is, I can't hear them all. I hear what sounds like 4 or 5 guitars. The only difference is volume, of course.

Hi everyone, I am new here. I am looking for something like the Zoom H4n / H2 that I can use as a portable recorder, but also plug into a PC and use as a USB mic. I would also like to be able to play back a track on the device and record a new track without overdubbing.

Last weekend I recorded a rock band all at once, including vocals in the same room. The whole session took 8 hours, including mixing and some "mastering" [slamming the masterbus :p].
Overall it sounded pretty solid, and big... maybe a little too much reverb [from bleeding, not digital], but just fine...

Hey everyone!

I have some issues with a mix that has been bothering my noodle for the last two days. After this, I will be more in line to use the audio analyzers a little more often though :lol:

I have a small Yamaha mixer going through my soundcard(EMU 0404) and monitors. The problem is there is no headphone jack on the computer to plug my headphones into, and if I plug the cans into the mixer, it records the playback in the cans and new tracks going through the mic. There has to be a way to record while listening to playback without recording the playback with the equipment I have.

I finally have everything set up. The sound is going through my mixer, through my soundcard, and out the monitors. When I go to record a second track, I have the sound playing through my headphones(plugged into the mixer) and the monitors off, but it records what is going into the mic along with the previous track coming through the headphones.

Could someone enlighten me on the uses for these mode switches on the master section of a Trident TSM console?: Mix/Tape/Overdub

These switches concern the monitor part of the board but it seems they also affect how signals get sent to tape.

Many thanks

I have master tracks recorded in sonar2.

When I add a track (ie guitar solo) The timing of the new track is out of sync by approx 3 seconds.

Any idea how to correct this?

Thanks,
Pat

I've got the producer blues,
