sound quality home recording

hello to everyone I am a local baltimore artist interested in improving the sound quality of my music. I have a closet studio. I am most interested in knowing how to get the hissing or the air out of my voice recording. I use a sterling audio mic I think its a phantom series. I dont have any studio monitors just basic I guess computer stereos and I dont know anything about amps.

Need better sound quality for piano recording

Hi, I'm trying to record myself playing the piano, but all I have is a Nikon Coolpix Camera, with 8-bit 7***hz mono sound. If you want to see what I did until now, check out DrAsik100 on Youtube, that's me.

I'm not too difficult on sound quality, but if at least I could record in 16-bit and get a 14khz range it would be a lot better already.

Sound quality of 1100 kbps WMA lossless vs. . 24/192 PCM ?

Hi to everyone,

I would appreciate your opinions in the issue of that high rate lossless wma sound. Is that comparable to a normal 24/192 pcm Wav?

Asking this only for curiosity. I am not familiar with that wma, but I am a little bit suspicios against the claims I happened to hear that they should be comparable.

Want to build hi quality, super performing Nuendo/Cubase sys

Am lost in the sea of choice and progress in building a new system for my mid-size commercial studio.

Have been offered a HD3 system for $8000k and bought a 192 converter for $2200... but now I'm not so sure I want to use Pro Tools - I'm a Nuendo/Cubase SX guy. the thoughts of going to Pro Tools depresses me on a software basis.
