If not that, I think not.

Yeah, unfortunately I did them on 8-track tape, and I sold that machine years ago.

Damn.

Is there any way to do this? This is my situation: a few years ago I recorded an EP. I was listening to it today for the first time in years and felt it's good except for the vocals. My current girlfriend is a good singer, and I was thinking if i could remove my vocal and record her it would be impr...

My uneducated wild as a lion in winter guess... You are using a different input in each software. Check your settings in your audio drivers/ control panel. Cheers Thanks, that was the problem. I could have sworn I turned off the PC mic when recording in Sound Recorder, which is why I didn't even co...

Maybe in Cubase you have monitoring enabled so that what's going into the mic during recording is coming back through the speakers and causing feedback. Good idea but monitoring is disabled. I am using the ASIO4ALL driver. I will try to post a clip. Best way to describe it is it sounds like I am fa...

Is there any reason a mic would sound different recording in windows sound recorder vs a daw (cubase)?

In cubase, the volume is low, there's a lot of echo, and bottom end is lacking (very "tin" sound). I don't have any plugins enabled. In sound recorder it sounds great. Any ideas? Thanks.

If you've got the USB version of the pre, maybe you should go into your computer via USB and not the sound card. I'm almost positive this would give you the cleanest signal. And I'm pretty sure you'd just leave the usb input level at 100 and turn it up or down, as needed, on the pre. Yes that's how...

I am selling issues 37-48 on Ebay.

You can search for the auction there or pm me. If you want to make a deal off ebay that would be cool since I hate giving them fees.

Thanks everyone. I figured it out. On my w7 soundcard the "recording device" mic level was set to 100. I think this was boosting noise. I turned it down to 25 and things are clean (though quieter). I guess I will have to tinker to find the ideal number (unless anyone happens to know where it should ...

I've used 2 or 3 different ART pres and never had any issues like that. It sounds like a bad tube. If you bought it new, call them...try to work out a return or repair. Also, try a new set of cables...you may be getting some RF interference. it is new yeah. is there anything else that would cause t...

in the clip I posted, yes, but I just tested it with it turned off and still hear that high frequency.

Hey guys, I am new to digital recording and trying out an re-11 with a tube mp (usb version) preamp via xlr. Can you listen to these recordings and tell me what I am doing wrong? This is what the mic should sound like: http://www.coutant.org/re11/re11.mp3 And this is what mine sounds like: http://ww...

Do you guys know if using a usb out in a preamp resolves the balanced/unbalanced issue I was having with the 1/4 to 1/8 output? I am learning on the fly so go easy on me.

i think both units are balanced xlr and 1/4 out. that is probably the issue. you need a 1/4 balanced to an 1/8 unbalanced. then probably the input on your sound card needs to be turned down. those usually dont have very good a/d converters. I'd definately look for a cheap a/d converter to use in co...

wait. did you get the regular one or the USB one? if its the USB, connect with that. set the input to USB in cubase. volume wise...you may have issues with the going balanced to unbalanced. that 1/8 input is a mono mic input, but it's probably not the the same level that's coming out of the line ou...

Edit: got it! Thanks, dudes. The volume is low in my DAW, but loud in Windows Sound Recorder. Any idea why this would happen? The master fader and channel fader levels look fine.
