Description

The term "tracking" is a process when recording various instruments, voices etc used to create a song or production within its track. If a song is recorded one track at a time, we refer this to "tracking". Every time you record a new track, you hear all the other ones you've recorded as well. This tag discusses all sorts of topics on tracking music.

Cheap Headphones for tracking

I have 6 outs on my headphone amp.
Looking for a total of 6 headphones for my middle school recording studio.

I think I want to get 2 pairs of the Vic Firth Isolation headphones.

I am looking for 3 pairs of headphones for tracking, hopefully in the price range of 20 to 30 US dollars.

Also, I need one pair for mixing, with a budget of 50-60.

Insert Effects Dont Work When Tracking

Could someone please help me figure this out? I run Cubase 5 full retail version on a Dell XPS 630 with a Tascam FW-1884 interface. I have used this setup for 2 years without a problem and I just installed a new harddrive. When I try to record, any insert effects that I setup are not being used when tracking. However when I play the recorded track back the effect is then on the track.
