I'm trying to get back into recording. Got my hands on a Digi 002 because I wanted more inputs for band rehearsals v. my Firewire 410. I installed Core Audio Manager (stand alone version) to possibly use with Garageband in the interim. It installed but it won't launch. When I try to change preferenc...

I do have the track monitor button turned on in Garageband. When I turn it off, I don't hear anything from my mic

I think I have everything installed right, but it sounds like there's two of me when tracking vocals. I tried making some adjustments at the Firewire 410 mixing window. It plays back just fine, but am I missing something somewhere when monitoring? Any tweaks I need to make in Garageband? I"m on a In...

Bread....not the food, the band. As in "If' and "Baby Ima Want You". To make it sound less shameful, I usually refer to them as "FUCKING BREAD!" so I've fully committed to my love for this band. Also, I'm really drawn to Karen Carpenter's drum sound lately. I saw a PBS special on the Carpenters and ...

I just got myself an M-Audio interface and was getting things configured to download the driver. I was able to get through some of the instructions, but have two questions - any help is much appreciated... 1. DISABLING SPOTLIGHT INDEXING - not sure what it's asking me to do. The instructions says to...

Anything particularly bad about tracking single instruments such as guitar as using the stereo input in something like Garageband? I don't notice any discernable difference, but since GB defaults to a stereo input anytime you open a new basic track, I've tracked quite a bit this way and am wondering...

I wondered if anyone would call me on it. "How do you know what your voice sounds like in a toilet?" A few too many long evenings bowing before porcelein god? I have set up the NT1 in a closet and noticed a bit of difference. I've never been too happy with my own voice, but have heard myself recorde...

Off into the closet I go. Let's see how this goes.

Thanks all for the replies. It helps keep me going rather than burning the building down in frustration (esp since it's my home too....)

Hi all, When tracking my own vocals and with each listen back, I think to myself "why do I sound like I'm plugging my nose and singing into a toilet bowl?" I've tried a bunch of different things over time to make it sound more natural, including the following: -Swapped out mics I had (Rode NT1 and S...

Any word yet on Digidesign's update to PT for new INtel Macs?

Furthermore, being new to Pro Tools and having only recently acquired an Intel Mac Mini, I'm wondering if I should wait until later after all bugs are worked out. Thoughts? I was planning on getting an MBox2.

I have the Yamaha MG12/4 and am currently using the iMic from Griffin Technology to track in Garageband (mac mini). I thought it would be an interim solution until I saved up some dough for an Mbox2 or something, but am surprised how well it's going and have stuck with it for a while longer to learn...

To be as succinct as possible, I just made bought a new Intel Mac Mini and thought I'd get an MBox2 and be done with it, happy as a clam. But I'm getting fearful of committing to a PT setup after some research and some of the other interfaces are looking interesting, including Firepod, MOTU Ultralit...

The only condenser I have is the NT1 I bought used. I've never been satisfied recording myself. I have a pretty midrangy and flat voice and my recordings thus far, the vocals just don't sit in the mix. But recently, I recorded my friend and I thought it would be too bright for her trebly, somewhat n...
