Hi,
I am trying to record a stereo track in cool edit pro from my Tascam US 122L. Since it has to mic inputs L and R whenever I change it allows me to record only one channel. how do I record stereo from L input or R. help

I've been recording a few singer/songwriter types recently. Mostly steel string acoustic guitar and vocals. What do you use for reference recordings for this type of music when trying to listen to monitors and get a fix on the sound of a room? I've found that I don't consider some of my favorites in this genre terribly well recorded.

I will use the mic i buy onley for rap vocals. Now i heard great things bout 3035 but now i have a chance to buy 4040 to. Now my question is will it be that big diference if i would use it just for vocals? Cos if not i would rather buy 3035 and save fiev $ for something else...
thank you

I have a problem. I have my vocal mic going into my board and then the computer. But when going into the board Im peaking at times and Im forced to lower the level alot. Should I add a compressor on the vocals before going into the computer?

I got a budget of 6K GBP ($12k) if i make use of interest free cred. I want to make some vocal recs of Indian Classical. (you can get an idea of voice on http://www.londonsiva.com recorded on AKG c414). I dig the vocal sound of Pete Gabriel's SOand he used a tube 47. SO, I figure I should get a tube 47 copy.

I had a session today, and for some strange reason I'm getting a distorted
sound, when I would record vocals, and it gets to a loud part, even though I put the M-box set on "Line". I'm not seeing any distortion on the meters, but

Is there a piece of hardware that can bring a sometimes off key singer, into the correct pitch at a live performance?
thanks.

When compressing vocals(only vocals, seperate from beat/instrumental):
Using a plugin that supports the option of compressing using RMS or Peak;
For instance PSP's MasterComp
When would you use Peak, as opposed to RMS, and vise versa?

hi i have Cubase 4 and a firepod. mics are 4 sm57, AKG perception condenser, beta 52, mxl 990. so my problem is everything sounds really good execpt vocals never really turn out that great. so I'm looking on what i should look at that inexpensive (i have about 700 now) that would help with vocals. mic? Pre?

Hello!

I read somewhere that a lot of studios use SansAmp PSA1 for recording vocals. How good can it be done with this preamp? Any suggestions how to set it up to get good vocals?

Thank you!
