Hi,excuse my noobness but i am kind of at the end of my rope trying to figure what i am doing wrong.Maybe it's equipment but i think it's probably just me.
Here is what i have,it's a karaoke system...
Allen & Heath USB Zed 12FX Mixer
Yamaha P5000S Amp
Sonic BBE 882i Maximizer
dbx 266 XL Compressor on the mic channel

I've recorded my wife's vocals over a karaoke backing track. I am a beginner when it comes to music editing, and I'd like to know what are the steps and best practices when it comes to editing. I'm using Mixcraft 5 as my DAW, and I just installed the trial version of Auto Tune which works with Mixcraft. I have two tracks: one is the backing track, and the other one is the vocal track.

heres a preemptive thank you to anybody who takes the time to read all this, and offers advice. i'm very grateful for any help i can get :D

i've been recording hip hop vocals for almost 8 years, and have yet to find a sound I'm satisfied with. probably from a lack of knowledge and research

I am tracking a few songs for the church I work at and to save costs, we are doing all the recording in house. We have a worship center that has a custom-install snake through conduit in the wall with several parallel termination points.

Hey, I'm using garageband and a Behringer mixer. I'm recording direct through the rca cables through the input and output. THIS IS DRIVING ME NUTS. I'm playing through my monitors, and it sounds f**king beautiful. then I hit record, still sounds good. DONE.

A quick background, I am not as into recording as I once was but I could use a quality 2 channel recording setup. I am finishing up a degree so I don't have a lot of $$ to spend and if there is a way to buy something that can help me in more then one way then all the bettter.

I am wanting to get into podcasting with a limited budget. I want to come up with the best set up for getting good quality sound. I will be setting up my studio in a room in my house which is about 300 square feet and is fully furnished as a living room. Due to many factors, the studio must be in this room.

Here's a question for all you folks up on current trends. What is considered a good bass sound? I'm an orchestra guy so all my training and impressions are based (pun alert) on very nice 3/4 or 7/8 symphonic instruments.

I need an affordable (-$900) amp. I love the sound of James Hetfield's guitar in Death Magnetic. I play mostly Metal and some Modern Rock. I've been looking at the Mesa/Boogie amps, but they're just too expensive (maybe sometime down the road.. haha). I don't really have a minimum watt limit, as long as it's not under 30-watts.

Hi this is Romi and I'm in a band I'm recording our DEMO by using SONAR 8 Producer, Saffire LE, Line POD X3, Shure KSM 27,
For the Guitar and Bass recording I'm using POD X3 directly to Saffire and for Vocals Its directly to saffire, and Drums are from the Sonar by using session drummer VST,
