In many of my recordings (mostly quieter or acoustic songs) there is a good amount of string buzz that is unrelated to the playing and simply comes from the string rattle getting picked up by the pickup or mic.

I can live with the noise, but would rather have the option to minimize it.

its a simple question =)

Is it better to record guitars with hardware delay like Boss Giga-delay or add software delay after the recording is done.

... Thanks in advance

A software application that emulates some type of hardware synthesizer. Since computer power has increased radically in the last few years, it is now feasible to have a host computer do the work previously done using hardware. Some virtual synthesizers mimic a particular vintage synthesizer, while others are more generic in nature.

I hope I am in the right forum. I am new hear and don't have a lot of knowledge about this stuff just yet.

I will explain what I would like to do. I want to mix channels over a laptop so it's like a studio. I want to cover other peoples music, only without their voice, only their music. I want to dubb my voice in the songs to help me try and find my nature voice.

Hi,

Looking to record keyboard (MIDI) and vocal simultaneously at home. Have had Tascam 122 (never upgraded from Cubase that came w/it in 2005), a $60 Shure microphone, & Windows XP. Biggest question is how to record both simultaneously onto separate tracks. Do I need an interface to do both? Are there interfaces designed to do both simultaneously (as the 122 doesn't seem designed to)?

SO what are the Pros and Cons on using hardware vs software processors and f/x ?

Ok, I need some ideas for organizing and tracking sessions in 2010. I used to use Apogee session tools but over the years (like 20 it seems) it's just become outdated. I've realized now that I have like 10 different programs keeping track of sessions, now I need something to pull it all together in a way that makes sense for todays sessions,

Can any recommend a software for Cubase 4 or 5 compatability to do synthesizing effects on drum and vocal analog recorded tracks. robic sounding vocal stuff and cool drum intro stuff etc. I downloaded a demo version of Alchemy(?) but couldn't figure out how to get it to do this even though they say it can. They have a cool demo video.

Got my Crown XTi4000 today, and loaded Band Manager software. I started making a profile for the Peavey QW3's, which we usually x-over at 90hz. When I looked at the factory settings for the JBL jrx115's Crown uses 56hz hp as default. My question is should I run my QW3's below 90hz when they have 2 folded horns under them, and a Cerwin Vega 21 to take care of the bottom end? Any freq.
