recording help - 02/24/02 07:05 PM
Hello all,
I am trying to record on the pc. I have no problem recording the keyboard, just run line out of the keyboard to line in on the soundblaster live platinum. However I want to record a vocal track and run through my digitech vr into the pc so that I can use the effects on the digitech. The problem is that each time I record an audio track when played back it sounds like I am singing from the bottom of a bucket. Now I know that this may be considered an advantage by those who have already heard my warbling but it is getting on my t (sorry it is annoying me!)
It does not matter which prog I use to record, from cheap (but rather excellent I think) N-track studio to cakewalk sonar the result is just the same.
It does not matter which mic I use either from sm58 to a £25 roland job. The only way I can get anything like a decent signal from my voice is to record through a cheap pc headset mic meant for speech and then apply effects in cool edit 2000. This seems ludicrous given all the expensive stuff lying around seemingly useless. Besides I look rather strange as well..(see how superficial I am? I have to look right! )
Many thanks in antici.......pation
