Newbie home recording questions

Heyas,
I just got audition 3, ive used cool edit pro alot - the old versions 2.0 etc.. I always just used this to laydown something in my head to work out parts or show bandmates. So the quality really hasnt mattered that much before Audition 3 has tons of new stuff in it.
Im trying to make the recordings sound good though now, I have two questions:
1. What is the best export format when you do a "save as" out of your mastering track? I saved as a constant highest quality drop down, and it still sounds really cheap. The volume seems low and its not a very dynamic, full sounding recording. Anyone have a basic guide for mastering out of audition3 ?
2.I am recording all my tracks to the peak before clipping and I know the inputs are clean and loud. Basically looking for a guide, tutorial, or tips on how to mixdown and master a typical 4 piece bands, guit, vocal, drums, bass etc.with adobe audition. Guides or links for panning tricks, or something to bring out that "full sound" . Dont get me wrong, the tracks are very clean, and mixed well, just low volumes, and not that awesome "big, full" sounds that I have heard other people make on the same basic setup..
thanks everyone!
Alex
Gear currently using:
Line 6 lineport UX2 for inputs - Adobe audition 3 - Shure SM58s for vocals - Reason 4 for sound effects, drums loops. Alesis SR 16 for basic drums as well

Best thing to do is do a search on this forum for mastering or across on AdobeMasters forum eg http://www.audiomastersforum.net/amforum/index.php/topic,4933.0.html as an example only

Newbe Home user question

OK I admit I know next to nothing about this software. I am a home office user looking for a way to remotely (sometimes over the internet) make changes to my PowerMac at home while I'm traveling. As I have searched it appears this Apple Remote Desktop software would allow me to do this. However, it also appears I need to purchase the admin software to do this? Is this correct? Is a a better way to do what I am asking. Also I use Airport Extreme router, is there anything I need to do since it has DHCP turned on?
Thanks,
Corey

it also appears I need to purchase the admin software to do this? Is this correct?
Yes.
if all you need is to be able to control another computer, then ARD would be overkill. Look into the freeware VNC. That will give you control capabilities and not cost you anything. You can find VNC applications for Mac here. Most people seem to find Chicken of the VNC works well for them.

Can I use Solaris with my Home Recording Studio?

Hello,
I am currently building a basic home recording studio. I recently assembled a new computer and will be purchasing music recording equipment very soon. Before I purchase the audio recording gear, I was curious about a few things pertaining to the use of Solaris as my possible choice system.
The data that I store on my hard drives will need to be secure. I had originally considered RAID 5 though recently found out about RAID Z, which appears to be far ahead of the other RAIDs. I am curious to know more about how to set up a RAID Z system.
The computer will be running Solaris, various Linux or BSD, and Windows Vista. I have 500GB x4 hard drives. I am considering separating one and using it strictly for Vista, and using the remaining 3 with a RAID set-up for nix. If I had a choice, I would put much less hard drive space into Vista (capping it at 150 to 200 GB), though I have yet to come across a RAID system that effectively or efficiently cooperates cross-platform. With that in mind, the majority of the remaining 1.5TB can go into my studio OS - hopefully Solaris - while left-over hard drive space is set aside for various other *nix.
I've used Solaris 10 before, though haven't really gone into detail on the mechanics of such features as ZFS, zones, now RAID Z, and the many more amazing features that Solaris provides. Likewise, I am not really familiar with how well the system might operate with software/applications that I could use for recording and composing music.
Beyond the available 2TB (or 1.5TB RAID-ready) space, my computer is running on a new 64-bit quad-core AMD CPU (~2.6GHz) and currently has 4GB 1066MHz RAM. In my search for preparing a computer that suits me for high performance recording - including the editing and mastering of audio - I am attempting to narrow down my options on the software side of things. I have been very satisfied with the general file management of Solaris, though am unsure of how well it might run as the software side of a home recording studio. An additional factor in deciding will be the software's compatbility with audio PCI cards and external recording/audio interfaces. There is always a question of whether or not the necessary drivers, firmware, or similar is available between any given hardware and software components.
Some other *nix options I have considered - "Ubuntu Studio 64-bit" (though it appears to prefer 32-bit) and "64 Studio" (also Debian-based, though appears to be optimized for 64-bit). Some colleagues have used Gentoo with studio applications, though I don't know of any Linux distributions that offer the versatility, power, stability, and efficiency of Solaris for the operating system that it is.
If I use something like "64 Studio", I will have the advantage of a system that is ready-built for studio recording purposes as well as a system that I know is compatible with the sound gear that I am considering purchasing. However, those systems are restricted by their file system types, RAID availability and dependability, and the general disadvantages of using the Linux kernel in general. (I enjoy Linux, though I admittedly prefer Unix over it.)
Can I use Solaris with my home recording studio?
Thank you!

Caught another typo.

I'm not sure what your question is. If you have particular software you want to run, you should see what you can get that package to run under. Sound hw stuff don't tend to be too portable unless it's written on top of OSS (htttp://www.opensound.com). Were I you, I'd consider separating out the storage part and the processing part. Get something like a cheap dell sc440 to be a file server and give the drives to that (unless you actually can get all the components working under solaris).

Advice for Basic Non-Professional Home Recording Studio

I am new to Mac (2 months) but am interested in setting up a VERY basic recording studio at home using Garageband to record primarily voice only, plus maybe a single instrument (non-digital Dulcimer) in the future. Main purpose is to record a single acappella voice to create 4 part harmony by individually recording harmony tracks one at a time. Final output will be to use the song files in Slideshows and iDVD movie projects. Also will plan on burning music CDs of the songs for family members and non-commercial use.
So... no need for a major budget or high level professional equipment. I have used my Intel iMac's internal mic for recording test songs as I learn my way around garageband. Internal mic works pretty well but I am wanting a little more control of ambient sounds and possibly some voice boost. I have been reading the forums fairly extensively and have some equipment in mind already but would appreciate experienced input and suggestions from the forum members.
My current equipment ideas are:
Shure M57 Cardioid Dynamic Mic - $89 Amazon
Shure A2WS Windscreen -$10 Amazon
On-Stage Stands Tripod Mic Stand with Boom -$23.55 Amazon
XLR to XLR Microphone Cable - $8 Amazon
M-Audio DMP3 Dual Mic Pre and Direct Box $160 zZounds (if I just need a mic preamp)
M-Audio Fast Track US44010 USB with Session Software - $89 Amazon (if I need an audio interface)
Since I am certainly not a recording expert and have never setup anything like this before, I could use honest input regarding what my studio needs are for the planned purpose as stated above.
If I have read forum articles correctly, using an external dynamic mic such as the Shure M57 will require that I get either a preamp or audio interface that can bring the mic signal up to a compatible level with the Line input jack on my iMac?
Is there any advantage to getting an audio interface instead of just a preamp for the recording purposes I have planned?
If I do decide to add the Dulcimer instrument, since it is non-digital I would just need a second mic to add its input into the iMac using either the second XLR input on the M-Audio preamp or the audio interface?
Am I overlooking any obvious equipment, cables, hookups I will need for the simple voice recording planned?
Any comment on the prices listed above and better sites to purchase equipment from?
I know this is a lot of questions. Appreciate any comments, input or ideas that your experience can offer. Thanks!

Well I just ordered the Samson C01U Recording / Podcasting Pack from Amazon for $145. Includes the mic, clip, 10ft USB mic cable, MD5 Desktop mic stand, SP01 Shockmount, Cakewalk's Sonar LE software and a nice aluminum protective carrying case. For the price I figure I can't go too far wrong and seems like a good entry level setup into basic home recording. Thanks for the info on this USB mic. I will probably download the Samson free software since I have read that can solve some issues with the gain.
Hopefully I can report back in a week or so and give an update on how its working on my iMac.
Thanks for your help!

Home Recording Rigs

Have you ever had a really good melody or song idea stuck in your head and thought, “Man, that would be a sweet song!” but then just disregarded it because you would have no way to translate that to a recording? For shame! Don’t let those golden nuggets go to waste!
Home recording is becoming frighteningly popular as technology makes it easier and more accessible for everyone. Professional musicians almost always have some way of recording their stuff at home and beginning musicians are finding just how easy it can be to channel their creativity into an MP3 and put it out there for the world to hear.
There are countless options out there that facilitate the home recording process such as drum machines, workstation keyboards, USB interfaces, recording software, and tons more. The industry is realizing that there is a desire emerging to be musically creative in the comfort of your own home and the cool part is that you don’t have to break the bank to accomplish it.
Maybe Steve from our Orange, CA store can help drive my point home…

So, perhaps you’ve got a great voice and want to prepare for American Idol auditions or maybe you’re the next Techno sensation and you don’t know it. I would encourage you, if you are at all interested in getting some of your musical talents and ideas recorded, at least check out some of the home recording products that can help you accomplish this. Your aspirations might not be as out of reach as you think

Good question!
My band and I are in the middle of doing some home recording and we are going through the same question. A lot of it depends on what you are looking to record and what kind of quality you are looking for.
You'll certainly need software to record into and different software can depend on if you have Mac or PC. Is she going to be doing live instruments/vocals or making music in the software? Live instruments and vocals usually require microphones unless you are using piano, which can usually just plug into an interface that connects to the computer.
Let us know what you're looking to do and I'm certian the community of musicians and artists here can help provide some feedback!

Multi-track recording question

Multi-track recording question
Hey, just need some help on multi tracking using audition, hope this is the right forum?
Wanted to know if anyone has a clue about assigning inputs from an audio interface to separate tracks on a recording program (ie: Adobe audition)
I record live with my band alot, and have every amp and the kit mic'd up, but how do i make it so that each microphone is recording to a different track on the PC?
My interface is an M audio fast track ultra, if that is of any use.
Any advice appreciated! Thanks!

In Audition, assuming that you can see all of the inputs available in the Hardware Setup, you find the right-facing arrow (input assign) on each track in MV's Main view, and you click on the box it's pointing to, go to Mono, and select the input you want for that particular track. The mono ones say [01M], [02M], etc. If you want to record a stereo track, then select the Stereo option where the inputs are paired and say [01S] et seq. This would have input 1 as left, input 2 as right.
If you can't see all of the inputs available, try selecting the ASIO driver in Hardware Setup...

If you are referring to an MOV file stored on a data DVD for playback in the QT (or similar) media player and not a DVD "authored" for commercial DVD device playback, then it sounds like you encoded it incorrectly. Basically DVD devices have a limited data transfer rate and if this rate is lower than the total playback data rate (combined video + audio data rates), then some of the data is not transfered to your computer fast enough for smooth playback in your media player.
I would normally recommend compressing your movie content using the H.264/AAC codecs (most efficient Mac standard codecs) and set the "Optimization" pop-up to the "CD/DVD ROM" setting. This option will "package" the encoded content for playback directly from a DVD player that is compatible with data rate limit you impose for the encode. Another option would be to copy the file from your DVD to your computer drive for playback since hard drive data rate transfer is much greater than that of a DVD player.

How do I get iTunes to provide track names on home recorded music?

How do I get iTunes to provide track names when I burn a CD of home recorded music?

Audio CDs do not contain track information. For commercial CDs this information is supplied by the Gracenote service (see below). Each computer gets this information for a particular CD from this service, it isn't on the CD. You would have to register your CD with Gracenote. In my opinion this is a bit much for a personal CD that only a few computers in the world will ever see, but I guess unless they block it then you can do it.

What are all those iTunes files? - http://www.macworld.com/article/139974/2009/04/itunes_files.html - "iTunes Library Extras.itdb contains some Gracenote CDDB information."

RAID for speed....for use with home recording

Hi all, I want to get my G5 dual 2.0 faster for home recording with logic 8 using another hard drive. I was told RAID is the way to go? I am NOT familiar with RAID at all or how to do this but I am very good at picking this stuff up. Unfortunately this G5 only has 4 slots for RAM so I can only max out at 4GB. Can anyone tell me how to make this machine fastest I can make it? Thank you. BTW I have 160GB hard drive now running Leopard, which is the highest I can go.

Xserve RAID is a Fibre Channel Storage Area Network (FC SAN) storage hardware product, and it has been discontinued. The replacement product is the Promise SAN storage controller series, and that is probably out of your price range.
As for RAID...
RAID-0 is also known as striping. Clumps of data are written to each disk, so you end up with the aggregate speed of two disks. But if one disk fails, you're rolling in your backups.
RAID-1 is also known as mirroring or shadowing, and you can survive the loss of one disk. Read performance is decent, write performance is slower as you have to write to both disks.
RAID-5 is a format best avoided; it's an old scheme from when disks were dinky and expensive. This format engenders massive I/O recovery loads on failures (approximately 80% of your total I/O bandwidth into the array is consumed for hours, and potentially as long as overnight for a bigger array), and the load increases as disk capacity increases, and (surprisingly) prone to blowing a second disk during recovery due to the I/O load, and leaving you with a catastrophic array failure. The bigger your disks (or the more unstable your disks), the more likely a second error will arise during recovery, meaning that RAID-5 is a format best avoided. It's comparatively slow. The Apple hardware RAID-5 controller performance isn't comparable with mid- or upper-end SAN-based controller RAID performance, in my experience with both. (Various of those SAN controllers have fully virtualized storage, so the whole concept of RAID is, well, rather different.)
RAID-6 (various names) is a variant of RAID-5, with additional replicated data. If you want RAID-5, then RAID-6 is usually a better choice as it's less prone to blowing a disk during recovery.
RAID-10 is a combination of RAID-0 and RAID-1, where you have striping across a mirror. It's a decent-performing RAID controller, and it doesn't have the massive recovery load.
RAID-50 is a combination of RAID-0 and RAID-5.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RAID
RAID is not an archival strategy. If your data is important, you need a copy not on your RAID array.
Best bang for your money is probably a used Intel-based server of some ilk; the QPI-based Xeon boxes are screaming-fast boxes. A box swap for whatever G5 box this is. Spending a whole lot on a G5-class box isn't going to be particularly effective.
Best "cheap" bang for your money is probably a SSD; your existing capacity is in the same range as the entry-level SSD drives. A disk upgrade. Below that, you're left with either an internal upgrade, or (depending on which G5 box you have) a PCI-X-based, or a FireWire-based or USB-based external storage, in decreasing relative order of performance.
As for home recording, if you're running a G5-class box, then pretty much anything out there will work; performance will probably be adequate. Once you figure out what your I/O load and your CPU load might be, you'll probably either be happy with a minimal (disk) upgrade, or you'll be looking for a new box. You'll inevitably be looking at a box upgrade over time as the PPC gear falls off the supported list for the products you're using, however.

Is My Equipment ok for High Quality Home Recording?

Hi There,
I have a band and we want to start the process of producing a CD on October this year (choose the songs we have written,groove, arrange, etc.) We want to start recording as early as possible in 2007.
We play mostly Worship at a non-denominational church in Germany and we play Rock/Pop.
I've been using very unregularly Cubase SX 3.1 under Windows but i want to buy a new iMac20 starting 2007. So I've been researching the equipment i would like to buy to make a Budget.... maybe if God wants, find some Sponsors as well.
So maybe you could give me your advice and tell me if with that equipment I could achieve a High Quality Home Recording project ??? Just equipment related, i know there are tons of other things to achieve a good Home Recording project. We will give our Recordings to a Studio for Profetional Mixing and Mastering, we will not do it our selves.
I have some money available for all that but i am neither rich, so i'm on a budget. Somethings i already bought.
Hardware/Equipment
1 x iMac 20" - 2 GbRAM - 250 Disk - ATI 256 Mb (should i get better a 500 Disk ?)
1 x MOTU 828 MK2 - Firewire
2 x Genelec 8030 + 1 Subwoofer 7050B
1 x Neuman TLM 103 (only for voices)
1 x MindPrint EnVoice MK2 (already bought it)
Software
ProLogic 7 (or the newest version on market when i buy the iMac - Cubase will find its way in eBay)
Celemony Melodyne Cre 8 (already bought it - only for voices)
FXPansion BFD (already bought it)
OK... hope i am not forgetting anything. That stuff is the most important for your advice. Please drop your toughts
Cheers, cesar.
Following are our Instruments, but we are not thinking of buying new instruments... maybe somethings for our bassist.
Music Instruments
(Not all the instruments are mine :))
1 x Roland TD12 eDrums (will use it with FXpansion BFD)
1 x Korg TR 76 Keayboard (should i use it only as Masterkeyboard and use the instruments in ProLogic better?)
1 x Koch Multitone 50 W + TS 212 H Cab (it has an amazing recording output, but wanted to record the eGitars not only with the recording output but simultaneously with a mic, is that a good idea? Could I use the Neuman TLM103? or should i get a Shure 57 ?)
1 x Marshall TSL601 (which we want to exchange for another Koch Multitone when we have the money)
1 x Warwick Sweet 15 (thoug we are thinking of exchanging it for a Warwick WC CCL ND8 2x10)
Gitars: We have a 500 something Taylor... really good but i don't know the details since i don't play it and one Epiphoe Custom LesPaul (change the Pickups for 2 Gibson BurstBucker Pro and now sounds like its Gibson Custom counterpart) and a Tokai LP..... hmmmm and a very cheap Yamaha Bass, our bassist hasn't had money to buy something better.
Take care and thanks for your advice and thoughts!!!!
Thinking about buying one

Hi and thanks for all your replies!
I guess i have lots of work ahead of me... I will defenitely get an external Hard Drive for my backups.
About the Audio interface.
Motu 828 MK2 - 730 EUR vs RME Fireface 400 - 880 EUR
Motu 896 HD - 1230 EUR vs RME Fireface 800 - 1300 EUR
What would you recommend me ?
Remember I have the Mindprint EnVoice MK2 Compressor/PreAmp. My Instruments/Mics will be connected directly to MindPrint and MindPrint via SPDIF to my Motu/RME interface. I will record one instrument at a time, so I don't need so many inputs. Just the eGitars will be recorded with 2 inputs.
With this configuration, should i still pay some 500 Extra and get the next level either in Motu or RME ? Is the price difference going to give me really a much better sound to justify those extra 500 ?
Apogee Ensemble - 2050 EUR Is the only Apogee product I can find available here in Germany so far and is out of my league.
From Lynx haven't found anything.

Home Sharing Question # 1001

I know there are a lot of Home Sharing questions but haven't found the answer to this.
My wife and I have been able to share movies and music but not apps. She is on a PC and I am on a Mac.Not sure if that would make a difference.

No answers to this?

(newbie alert) - simple question?

My Dell is four years old and dying. I am considering an iMac G5. One of the main things I would want to be able to do with it, right out of the box, is as follows. I asked someone at the Apple store if this was easy to do, and his response seemed very complicated. Would a new iMac G5 using just the pre-loaded iLife stuff be able to the following:
I have burned many old home family movies from VHS to DVD using a DVD recorder hooked up to the VCR. The DVD recorder is a cheap model, so it doesn't allow me to edit much at all; I more or less get just a straight transfer of whatever is on the VHS tape, over to the DVD.
I'd like to be able to pop in one of those DVDs I've generated from those VHS tapes, and then be able to really aggressively work with that "footage" to create montage clips into a new "movie", so maybe out of 60 minutes of raw footage of a family picnic from 1985, I want to be able generate a watchable 5-minute DVD clip that just shows the interesting stuff. I'd like to be able to lay music from iTunes over top of this, add titles and credits and whatnot, and then burn to DVD to share with family members, or upload to a web location (.Mac?) for family members to access and view.
It would be nice if I could also incorporate digital still photos from my digital camera, and/or short MPEG movies my "still" camera can take (each just 15 seconds long).
Is this all within the easy grasp of the iLife suite?
Thanks!

Thanks.
Last night, I took a close look at the inputs and outputs on my little JVC mini-DV video camera, which is about four years old. It's pretty clear it has no analog-in ports, so I don't think I can use it as the go-between unit from the VHS for a transfer of the VHS content onto the iMac. Reason being, the only "in" port on the mini-DV camera is a little "DV in /out" port, and I certainly don't believe the VCR has any type of corresponding "DV" output line. So, as for getting the old home movies from the VHS tapes into the iMac for editing and DVD buring, I believe -- based on the responses I've received in this forum -- it does boil down to using something like the Canopus ADVC-100 to allow me to make that transfer.
The related question for the overall project then becomes, am I confident I'll be able to get content into mu iMac from my other main source: a small library of home movies on mini-DV cassette tapes. The JVC mini-DV camcorder has an S-video out port (plus a "headphone" audio out jack that splits to RCA audio lines), so where can I run that to get it into the iMac? Would the Canopus ADVC-100 take that in? The only other "out" line on the camcorder is that "DV in/out" line I mentioned above. Nothing anywhere says anything about firewire... is that "DV" line a standard thing? Can the iMac take it in directly? Could it run through the Canopus unit?
Thanks a million.

Home Recording issue

I have a hp 2000 notebook pc.
I recently loaded cakewalks Sonar x3 studio software.
My delimma is that it seems that my audio driver has a built in "sends" function.
This is causing me to not be able to turn off the vocals in my headphones during recording.
My question is ....Is there a way to disable this feature?

The next step is trouble-shooting the Home Button Flex Cable, if it is damaged, it will need to be replaced.
There is a work around using the Lock Screen. Cumbersome but works.

Home Sharing Questions

Hello,
I have two questions regarding home sharing while I am on vacation. I understand that if I am not on the same network, I will not have access to my files on my iMac or my PC, however, I do have two questions:
1. If my iMac and my iPad are signed into the same VPN, will home sharing work if I am on vacation? Both my iMac and my iPad will be signed on to the same server.
2. I have Xfinity as my Internet provider, and they provide hotspots all over the country that are free for me to use. Since my iMac/PC are on thee Xfinity newtwork, if I sign into the Xfinity hotspot while, say in Maine and my equipment is in Florida, will home sharing work?
My fear is that I must be logged into the same network ID, and they will not be available to me. However, I do have two Network ID's (one is a 2.4Ghz and the other is a 5GHz and they have different names, and Home Sharing does work if my AppleTV is on one and the iMac/PC/iPad is on the other.
The same questions I guess will apply to my AppleTV device, however, if I can get access to my Home Sharing on my iPad, which along with my AppleTV device, I will be bringling with me, I can always change the airplay to play on the AppleTV from my iPad.
Even though I have a WIFI Seagate drive that I use as both a backup and storage for my photos (I am a professional photojournalist) I have all my iTunes files backed up on that device (good thing because if an artist pulls their work from iTunes and you store it Apple's Cloud, it will be deleted) and had I not had a backup, all the Celtic Woman concert videos (close to $60 worth) would be gone
Anyway. thanks for taking your time to read this and considered answering.

PS. These questions are important for me as I plan to spend 3 months every year traveling throughout the country doing street photography and travel photography as I also shoot stock for Getty Images, so if my movies and music are especially my Home Movies (I have instructional videos and PDF files in iBooks that I may need access to) are not going to be available, I would hate to drag my desktop with me. I will take my WIFI drive and use its player to play my music, as while I can change the directories on my iMac to point to the external drive, I do not know of a way to do this on my iPad.
If I get a travel trailer to use instead of staying in hotels, I may just bring my iMac with me. But I really would like to leave it save in my house.

The answer to both questions is no.
It only automatically syncs new purchases from the iTunes Store between devices, and even then only tracks purchased after the option has been turned on. It won't do a catch up sync to start with.
Non iTunes Store purchased tracks have to be imported manually.
You can view all the tracks that are in the source library but not in the target library.
Then select them all and hit the import button.
All that will do though is transfer the music, it will not move playlists, etc.
