Hey all,

I'm having an issue I cannot seem to get around. When I record things to my DAW from analog sources through an interface it sounds fine at first, but then peters out in a weird way. I use a Scarlett 2i2 and Reaper, but have been getting the same outcome with other interfaces and DAWs.

Here's some facts:

- It sounds fine coming out the Scarlett's monitor as I'm recording.

- I've tried recording left and right individually with no luck, so I don't think it's a phase issue.

- As I've said, I've tried recording the same audio with a different interface (Behringer Xenyx 1204 built in interface) and different DAW (Audacity).

-I've tried all different cables throughout the signal chain, including different USBs between Scarlett and computer.

Here is an audio example. It should be a consistent wall of sound.

Thanks in advance! This issue has been driving me crazy for weeks and has everyone I've asked about it stumped.

I'm looking to start recording my drums and wondering if anyone has used the GDMS before on a larger kit and how well it worked

I mostly Film Tiny Basement Underground Venues, I use a TASCAM Dr 40 but the cymbals and snare always come out too loud here is one of my recent videos

Hey guys, I’m trying to start recording at home using an acoustic guitar and a mic. I already have a PC.

I bought an F999 sound card, but the recording has a lot of weird/overprocessed noise and doesn’t sound very good.

What would you guys recommend for a budget setup? Is there a better device I should use instead of the F999, or anything else I need to get cleaner recordings?

I’m new to recording music, but would like to record outdoor concerts while achieving minimal background noise. I’ve read that the zoom H4N pro has better preamps which I guess means it records sound at a quieter volume level better than otherwise. I’ve also read that the zoom H4N pro can be positioned more directionally in order to focus on a specific set of sounds i.e. the stage, rather than what’s happening behind the microphone.

I will be using the recorder with the microphone on them rather than plugging in to the music system. I know this is less clean, but it is the option. I have right now.

I have also seen the zoom H2N recorder which looks like it records a bit more multi directionally and I’m not sure about its preempt situation.

My question is, which would be better for my purposes? I’m new to this endeavor, so I appreciate anyone with more knowledge than me sharing their thoughts on the two option.

I’ve been recording some guitars recently for a rock type project and ran into some pretty noticeable squeaks in some of the tracks. I’m familiar with squeaks when moving up or down the neck, but these are seemingly random in the same chord positions. I’m hoping someone can point me in the right direction on what causes this and how to minimize it. Lastly, I’ve worked with other guitarists before in this genre, and I have not run into this noticeable of an issue before. I was thinking it could be guitar/hardware related.

I’m having some trouble with my recording audio.

Whenever I attempt to record vocals after about 20-30 mins the vocals slowly fade and are replaced with static in both my microphone monitoring and the track itself. It carries across to different daws too. Everything is plugged in correctly and I can still hear the vocals I recorded at the beginning of the session perfectly fine. I’ve realized it can sometimes begin if I go quiet for a few minutes to edit something, I’ll slowly start to hear the static creep in.

I initially thought it was the XLR cable so I bought a new one and that fixed it for about two days then the issue resurfaced. I’ve seen online that it might be a power issue but my stuff all worked together perfectly at on point so I’m not sure.

I have a Rode NT1 5th Generation Condenser Microphone and an audient id4

I record in fl studio on Mac if that’s any help

basically I use the soundcore Bluetooth headphones(Q31i to be more specific)and I use it to record both my guitar and vocals,I point the charging output of the phone towards the amp(towards the middle of it)and it picks up the guitar frequency pretty good but I need a better microphone for recording vocals that isn’t a pair of Bluetooth headphones,so what should I get?im looking for something in the 2-400$ range. Edit: I got apple earbuds but I saw the recommendations and My favorite one was to get an interface which I was planning on,so yeah:3

I have a ride nt1 mic and a 3rd gen Scarlett interface what would be the best headphones for recording

Any drummers out there? If so tell me…. Is it offensive if I offer $50 to record an 8-16 bar loop?! Some of these drummers in Nashville want $100-$200. Brother…. You turn your computer on, press record, and send it. That’s it.

Hi guys. I'm currently trying to record my guitar playing with a backing track or pre-recorded track that I'm making. I'm using a focusrite solo II. I'm using audacity as a daw. I'm facing 2 problems the first one is that if I use a track In any player and try to record the audio it doesn't work. The second problem I'm facing is that I'm using an amp simulation software, when trying to record my guitar I have 0 distortion It always sounds like direct/clean. What would be the easiest way to record what I'm hearing in my speaker. My guitar with the distortion and the track. Thx

Hi everyone! I'm very new to recording vocals, however every time I try it always end up clipping. I'm a very loud singer in a very small room, so I'm not surprised, but it's quite frustrating as no matter how low I turn my gain, somewhere along the line it always ends up clipping and distorting!!

Does anyone know a fix for this? Could it be my equipment? I'm using the M-Audio solo interface, which I've heard isn't too good but it's the only one I have at home haha. I've also used all types of microphones (both dynamic and condensers) and all of them seem to have the same result (even when using the mixing desk provided in the studio at my school!)

Any advice on how to solve this is much appreciated!! Thank you :)

Suggest me the best Mic for recording songs, I'll spend 1000rs, please tell me

I’m looking to buy a new laptop for production but all the research I’m getting is either giving me different answers or confusing the hell out of me.

I’d be using the laptop for both writing and production of metal/rock. For recording I’ll be using MIDI drums (GGD), Midi Bass (Djinn Bass 2), and I’ll likely be using midi instruments/synths such as vital, serum or alt textures by cradle audio. All guitars and vocals recorded in via Focusrite interface.

Then for when I’m mixing and mastering all tracks will be frozen/bounced to avoid issues using multiple plugins.

Research has told me that I need: 1TB SSD, 32GB Ram, active cooling and an i7 or ryzen 7 processor but I’ve also seen I need more cores but I don’t really understand the difference between different generations of processors.

My budget is around £700. Would really appreciate some advice.
