Recording Tips

I thought we could use a thread on different recording tips and techniques. Every one seems to use a different application for recording . I don't care what your using just how your using it?

When i record acoustic guitar i have found it to be tricky. first my acoustic doe not have a built in pickup but did get a sound hole PU. but it sounds very trebbly and if i mike the guitar it sounds to bassey.

What i did was blend the two, i recorded one track with the pickup and another with the mike. I then would blend to two together so they match up. your playing has to be right on for this to work right and it works best for chords Rth playing.

I never really record but I had alot of trouble with the sound of my distortion sounding right and I couldn't do it until I ended up just putting a mic infront of my amp and fiddeling wiht everything till it sounded right, true it did record a little quiet but I dealt wiht it

i connect my guitar directly to my computer, or i conect the pedal directly to the cpu or i connect the amps phone out to the cpu

How do you connect it right to your computer? I have a little midi converter that sits on my desk and connects via usb, but I've never heard of connecting directly to the computer. This damn thing has crap tone, and fills the recording with background hiss.

I record like this

How much was that?

How much was what?

I think Foogered thought that was your actual rig

The PC in the image is mine, and so is the Workstation. I don't have the guitar yet.

LOL It's a Dell PC xD

And he means how much was your setup, guitar, computer, interface, etc.

Nah, just how much was the Roland workstation. Sorry for not clarifying.

A buddy of mine is letting me use. He's a musician who owns an A/V business, so he's always got spare equipment. So, he found out that I was making some demos, and he said I could use it until I stopped using it.
