Edit Pre-recorded vocals

I have been trying to work out how to edit pre-recorded vocals using the Voicelive 2 and Logic Pro. I have managed to figure out the settings on the voice live 2 but I cannot work out what to do on the logic side of things. This is what I have been told (see below), but I dont understand what this means.
In LOGIC you have to set up a SEND (to VoiceLive 2 via MAUDIO SPDIF out LEFT!!! CHANNEL ONLY) for sending the dry Vocal track and RETURN the processed signal on a new stereo track (from VoiceLive Rack / input source = MAUDIO SPDIF input L & R channels). Don't forget to record enable the track. To control harmony / detecting automatically the key, you may SEND any audio signal (i.e. your instrumental, piano/ rhodes chord track etc.) via MAUDIO SPDIF RIGHT!!! CHANNEL to VL 2.
Would anyone be kind enough to explain what this means and what I need to do? ( i am trying to post edit pre-recorded vocals using voice live 2, logic 9 and m-audio fast track ultra).
Thank you

Open GB, drag the AIFF file from the Finder onto the GB window
Hey presto!

Gargageband and moblie pre usb vocal recording issue

I've searched and can't seem to find an answer to this question. Sorry if it's been answered already.
so I've got the M-audio mobile pre usb and i'm recording vocals with it. If I plug it in after GB is loaded, it seems to work fine, but if I record a song, then open a new one, the vocals become extremely distorted. I have to quite GB and disconnect the mobile pre, then it works ok again.
I may have answered my own question, but is there any way around this process? It seems to me that once it's set, it should be ok, but that's not the case.
thanks
matt

Hi Matthew, you need to give us more information. Where are you plugging the mobile into? Directly into the Mac? Into a passive hub? Into a active hub? Is it just the one vocal track that gets distorted?

Recording vocals, vocal pres

alright this is for people who are experienced or no what they are doing when using Creative soundblaster x-fi platinum soundcards. I have several concrens one such as when i record vocal tracks ( singing and screaming) using defualt sound options from the concole launcher the playback quality is really bad screams just sound like crackling and singing has a lot more bass and less high than how it actually sounds in real life.
the soundcard is not the problem for the most part tho, i beli've a lot higher vocal quality can be achieved if i changed the setting in the creative console laucher. This is where you viewers who know how to use this can come in handy. If you know some settings and presets you have made when recording vocals and works almost how the sound is naturally without recording i would be happy to know. Also if there is a site or page that has presets you can download for free then please give me some information on that also. If you have any other ideas that could help out at all thanks.

There a quite a few parameters you can adjust including reverb, compression, eq etc. Each of these features is almost infinitely adjustable. You can add echoes, and even pitch control to take care of those off key notes. Of course, using the proper microphone and placement of same is critical. I use both a Shure Beta 58A dynamic mic (for live gigs and also for some recording). When I want a really clean sound I use a Shure condenser mic (KSM27) for vocals. It takes some getting used to and experimentation but the vocals I get are really pretty good (even though I do perform and write and I am not a great singer). Another technique that really helps to fatten the vocals is to record on several tracks. Record the vocal on one track and then duplicate it to a second track. That's one trick that most pros use and it does work. You can add pitch control to one track and leave the other dry to get some pretty cool effects. Usually I wind up with about three vocal tracks and anywhere from two to four instruments. Record the vocals dry (no effects) and then play around with all the effects available in GB and you may be quite surprised at the improvements you can make. Of course, if you are just not a good singer or are using poor mics don't expect much. Good luck and don't give up. Experiment and have fun and you may be quite surprised.

Monitor my voice my while recording vocals?

I have icore5,8gb ram and my Rode nta1 mic which is pluged into profire610 that goes to my pc with 6pin buswire and headphones comes out from my pc realtak jack.Now the problem is that I can't monitor my voice while recording vocals.I have done Edit>Pre>Audio Hardware and set the device class to ASIO and device it shows M-Audio ProFire ASIO.and select Release ASIO driver in background.It records everything and play.But while im recording I can't hear my voice in headphones.Still if I choose MME from Audio Hardware and go to Multitrack window click R and "I" then I can hear everything in headphones but then again I can't record using MME.Please help me out im going crazy here

Is there any reason not to just use one of the two headphone jacks on the front of the Profire 610? That's what they're there for.
Trying to use the in built Realtek piece of rubbish at the same time as the Profire is frought with difficulties since the Profire works best with ASIO drivers whereas the Realtek is an MME device. Even if you could get it working, I suspect that latency might make the monitoring less than ideal.
Edited to add: you MIGHT be able to get it working the way you want if you download ASIO4ALL from http://www.asio4all.com/
I have no way of trying this and still think using the Profire headphone outs would be a far better solution...but if you have to use the Realtek for some reason, give ASIO4ALL a try.

Air or Pro for Recording vocals with GarageBand or PT and Producing

I'm considering buying a MacBook and would like to get a new Air. I will be using it mainly for recording my vocals on beats that I have bought on iTunes. I'm also going to be taking a couple of Coursera classes on music production. Can the new Air's handle GarageBand or Pro Tools well? I've been using my iPhone 4S with GarageBand to record but I would like to do more editting of my vocals with Pro Tools. The reason I like the Air is b/c it is light and easy to transport.

One thing with vocalists, I can think of, is to show them the input device, and have them watch the clip meter. After a few takes, if they are somewhat savvy at singing into a mic, they'll start to back off on strong notes, and moving in on subtle notes. If you watch a pro singer on stage, you'll see them pulling the mic in close for soft stuff, and backing it way off for the strong notes. In the studio, the same techniques can be used, but the person has to back away, rather than a hand held mic pulled away.
Hardware can help this to an extent, but the singer has to take some action to get the best performance recorded. If I were going to use hardware, it'd probably be limiting more so than compression. Limiting can keep your signal under control, without doing too much to the dynamics. I'd prefer to save compression for post, so I can decide what sounds best. I used to have a female vocalist with an amazing voice. i was NEVER able to capture her properly on tape, since I had no pre processing at all. She is still in this area, and I have invited her to come record some vox for me, because I want to see if I can now get a grip on them. If I ever do, she'll be featured on an upcoming CD

How to visually separate elements in a pre-recorded song?

I'm hoping to use Audition in a research project to study patterns in music. I just downloaded it last night and I'm using the trial period to evaluate if it will meet my needs. I am running the program on a Mac.
As stated above, I'm hoping to use Audition in a research project. to study patterns in music. I need to be able to do this with pre-recorded songs (songs downloaded from iTunes). I do not need to actually separate vocals or other elements (i.e. only hear one or the other), but I am hoping to be able to visually see the vocals, melody, base, drums, other accompanying instruments separate from each others (see their separate frequency waves). So for example, I would like to visually see the main vocals increasing in volume, changing from low to high notes, seeing a note sustained for a period of time, and noting how these patterns coincide with other elements in the song.
I am very much a novice so I am not able to describe this in "music terminology". I have seen the "frequency displays" when playing a song that show the right and left channels - but all the elements are merged together making it impossible to really visually see any patterns. I've tried to play around with some of the options in the effects menu (Amplitude and Compression; Filter and EQ), but I have not found an option that provides what I'm looking for.
Does Audition provide the feature I'm hoping for? Can someone help point me in the right direction for achieving this?
Thanks!!!!!

Not really.
The only way to have visually separate elements is to have each element separate. They'd exist this way in the original recordings prior to the mix but, as soon as they're mixed trying to split them out is like "trying to unbake a cake" (to use a common forum cliche). If you think about it, this makes sense--440Hz from a human voice is the same as 440Hz from a piano--so in the display (which is a mix of amplitude and frequency) they show up as the same.
It MIGHT be worth you having a look at things in Spectral View. This is a useful analytical tool for a lot of things and may show up some interesting stuff--but, even there, I doubt it would give all the info you want.
This isn't an Audition limitation by the way...I don't know of any audio software that can "unbake the cake" as you need to.
If it was me, instead of downloading finished songs from iTunes, I'd be approaching hobby musicians and asking/begging for copies of their original, pre-mixed tracks. There are various home recording forums (indeed, one called "Home Recording") and some there might be able to help. However, even with the original tracks, be aware that they don't necessarily show the levels graphically--typically there would be a display of the original track plus some sort of automation system (which may show you a line going up and down) indicating what is happening to the levels.

How do you setup adobe audition 3.0 to record vocal?

hi,
I just bought some equipment for recording vocal but have no idea how to setup adobe audition 3.0 to actually pickup sound from my mic.
So i have my microphone connecting to the interface which connects to my computer.
Microphone: Audio Technica AT2020 XLR cord
Interface: M-Audio Fast Track Pro USB connection
The M-Audio fast track pro CD was useless, it said it wouldnt install on my Vista 32bit so I just downloaded the vista 32bit driver which worked perfect. I also downloaded the ASIO4ALL v2 driver since my computer only has an intergrated soundcard. (Realtek High Definition Audio, Screaming Bee Audio) I dont know why there is 2. But i have no idea how to get audition working and pick up sound. I went into audio hardware setup and clicked the ASIO4ALL v2 driver in Edit view tab, multitrack view and surround encoder but still no sound picked up. Ill post up some pictures of how it looks. Any help would be appreciated thanks.

I also tried choosing the M-Audio USB ASIO option but it wont let me
sorry for being so stupid, I'm a beginner to all this and is still learning so please don't be too harsh on me.

I use a different model of M-Audio interface so I don't know if this applies to the Fast Track Pro, but...
I've noticed that mine can be fussy about the order of power up and if I boot the computer then connect the interface, Windows doesn't always detect it's presence. I now have a switch on procedure that I follow without thinking: I turn on the audio interface, make sure it's connected to the PC and only then boot the PC. This seems to make sure the M-Audio device is always detected.
Although I have Asio4All installed, I just use the M-Audio drivers. Make sure the drivers you want are selected in the Audio Hardware setup window, then go through and then select your inputs in Edit and Multitrack windows.

Need help recording Video over pre-recorded Audio

I'm making a music video, the audio has already been recorded, but I am having such a hard time trying to figure out how to record the video over it. I need to be able to hear the audio track while recording so I can sync it properly, but whenever I click on the 'Open Camera Import Window' button, it doesn't allow you to playback the audio. What is the easiest way I can go about this?
PS. If my question is vague or unclear, I'm sorry. Every person I have asked said they had no clue what I was asking.

Hi Rick,
Thank you for your response.....I have always done this process using other software for the videos....so the process here is different for me.
I pre record the audio first, then edit to remove all of the terrible sounds...breathing, mispoken words, etc...clean up the audio, then add a background music track all in Audacity. Then, I add that track in and record my video over it. I am creating a tutorial for a software company on how to use their software.
This may seem backward. My question now, I am in Captivate 7, I press video demo and it goes straight to recording the video before I have a chance to import the audio track. I need the audio track so I can get the video to follow the audio...if that makes sense.
Cheers...Robert

How can I use Garageband on my IPAD2 to record Vocal tracks?

Sorry for the newbie question.
I have a mic setup that runs into garage band on my Imac, but would like to use my Ipad to record vocal tracks as well.
Looking at garageband version for the IPAD in the app store, it does not appear to have any sort of recording capability.
Currently I run my audio signal into my Mac via a pre-amp, connected via USB cable.
Would like any sort of help in being able to use garage band, or any other program, to record vocals into my IPAD

If you check the iTunes Apps store and seem to recall that there is a program that will allow you to transfer Photo's between iPhones using Bluetooth. I stand to be corrected but is this not a feature of the new iPhone 3GS Ant..

Cannot record vocal from interface help!

Im using logic pro 8 on an imac 2.66 ghz dual core with a m audio pro fire 610.. for some reason im not getting signal from the pro fire into the logic record enabled channel. it shows up strong in the mixer section of the pro fire but nothing on the logic screen. I did upgrade to snow leopard before i have done and vocal work but the main thing is that it looks strong at the outputs of the pro fire.
I'm using a Nady vacuum mic with it's own transformer and a M audio pre amp before it gets into the pro fire and again everything looks good coming out of the pro fire.
I'm creating the track as an audio track. The pro fire is configured in the audio preferences of logic as required.
I'm stumped!!

my m audio tampa pre amp has a very nice compressor set up so i go from there into the line in's of the pro fire and as i said the signal shows up just fine on the pro fire mixer software, but i agree with you, i must not have the right input selected on logic.
Here's what I do:
I hit the + sign which creates a new track
I choose it to be an audio trac in mono
i've record enabled it as well as monitor enabled it
I click the red R on the track and click the round record button in the transport
all i get is a flat line in the region when recording.
I've done all this on my existing project as well as creating a new project just with vocals
but still nothing.
I really believe it has to do with logic... I'm stumped, I've recorded vocals so many times this way but now nothing
I appreciate all suggestions. thanks,

Recording Vocals in Logic 8

I am using my Digi003 to record vocals. I have my MIC (SM57) in input 2 of the digi. WHen I create a new audio track and set it to input 2 nothing happens. I have tried to change mics and cables and nothing works. Is there a trick. I should be able to hit record and should hear sound right?
So frustrating!

Did you select the device in the audio preferences of Logic?
Did you arm the track to record before hitting record?
Not sure if you've done either of these things as you didn't mention them in your post.
Good Luck!

Is there a way to pre-record the timing of the slides and effects in a keynote presentation, so that you can present it without having to press anything?

Hi! It would be great if someone could tell me how to pre-record timings in a keynote presentation, so that when presented, it plays by itself, based on the pre-set recordings. I know there is a way to do it by going to Inspector>Document> Audio> Record However when you do this, your computer also records the sounds it picks up with the microphone, which can greatly affect the sound. I have Keynote '09. Thanks in advance!

Open the Settings app > Notifications > Messages. Scroll down adn turn OFF "View In Lock Screen". You may want to consider setting Alert style to none, but this will not impact what happens when the screen is locked.

How can I set up a default (pre-recorded) voicemail greeting on iphone 4s?

How can I set up a default (pre-recorded) voicemail greeting on iphone 4s?i dont want a custom one with my voice i want the pre-recorded where a lady says my number . how do i get that?

Voicemail is a cell phone carrier function. Contact your carrier to see if they have this option. If not, i'm sure you can download a sound file from the internet with a greeting and add your name. Then play it back on you PC while holding your iPhone near the speaker when recording the greeting to voicemail.

When I put a Pre Recorded CD into my computer it's not showing up on I-tunes file?

When I put a Pre Recorded CD into my computer it's not showing up on my i-tunes file, does anybody know why?

In iTunes, if the sidebar (along left side of window) is hidden, from the menu bar, under View, select Show SIdebar. After inserting the music CD, it should appear in the sidebar, under DEVICES.
