I'm trying to understand inputs. I have an electric bass guitar that I'm running into a UCA202. The bass is passive and I don't have a pre-amp. Going from the UCA202 to my DAW (Logic Pro), the bass sounds okay.

I browsed through the forum a lil bit and couldnt find it so sorry if its already out there and I'm asking again. I m not quite sure how (at all) i am supposed to use the EQ to master a track. yes i know its a newbie question so please dont be hatin, I'm just looking for generally accepted uses . i am trying to master hip hop beats in Ableton live specifically. Thank you

I've read this thing countless times but still some of the concepts and workflows and techniques evade me.

I figured this would be right up RO's alley because of all the technically inclined people here!

Hello everyone. I'm kind of a n00b here, but my interests are very high, so please excuse my inexperience. I don't even know if I'm in the right forum, but I'm looking for a music program that is:
A) reasonably easy to get into and understand
B) has a variety of options
c) Has the capability to record my vocals

OK. I'm looking for opinions and advice on this subject I've noticed several times in the past.

A buddy of mine is amongst other music things, an expert music mastering Engineer. He has some very big clients to his name from the late 90s early 2000s.

I see mic sensitivity ratings that look like:

Sensitivity: 14.1mV/Pa -37 ± 1.5dB

Hey everyone. Right now, i record all of my songs direct in, then I use Guitar Rig 3 to 'amp' it. I do this one, because my amp is quite small, I can't really turn it up loud to record, and I have an awful room with hardwood floors and no sound proofing (my bedroom).

Im a bit confused about audio interfaces. If you get a mixer without firewire,usb does that mean it doesnt have a interface? and how do pick the right one for your mixer?

Nvm.

Reasonably new to this. This question arises from my search for a new/new-to-me preamp to replace my mobilePre
(which, not surprisingly, doesn't provide tracks which stack particularly quietly).

I believe that I understand the concept of headroom (i.e. - how hot a (mic) signal can the preamp handle?),
but not the measurement units.
