MM3 STUDIOS

Archive for February, 2010

Me and my buddy play acousitc and sing. Looking to get a software to put on my laptop so that we can make our quality a little better. Looking for something that allows ya to play, sing, and then edit so that the music or the vocals can be turned up and other effects. Also not looking to spend a fortune. Let me know. Thanks

I downloded from here:
www.masslinks.net

its a device exactly like old VCRs ( video cassette recorders ), but fuctioning completely digital. it records on its internal HDD.
it has multiple inputs for S-video, and standard composite cables.
what is that unit called ? i want to buy one, but i donno what to look for exactly !

thnx in advance

What you want is a DVR. You can get Standalone ones such as TiVo and some DVD recorders with built in HDD.

You can get providers DVRs, which are basically their receivers with an HDD that records their digital signal directly.

Lastly would be a computer DVR, which you can get a card for your computer that can record from antenna, cable or a box.

I’m not talking about windows sound recorder. I need a program that will give me the highest quality sound recording using a high quality mic. Also needs to have time stamping so I can align the audio tracks with my video. I need to record my interviews and background noise for my documentary and it would be alot cheaper to just use my laptop to record the audio than getting an additonal portable recording device.

Have a look into Audacity, its free/open source and *should* do what you’re trying to do

The Best Software For Overall Recording on a Budget, What Prouduces The Best Sound Output, With A regular Mic, And I found a way to get my guitar and drums hooked up thru the input on the back of my pc, but it prouduces very low sound quality. Not sure if i should use a regular mic, or my pc one? And is there any Hardware for computers that, i guess, amplify the mic and guitar without distorting the crap out of it? Thank you so much, i tried to be very specific lol.

I would suggest that you get Pro Tools LE. Pro Tools LE comes free with the Mbox audio interface, which is relatively reasonably priced (check www.musiciansfriend.com or www.zzounds.com for current prices).

The Mbox works great if you don’t mind recording your drums in stereo. If you require more inputs, then there are other packages that you can get that come with the same software, but they’re quite a bit pricier.

There are a couple of reasons that I would suggest Pro Tools LE. First of all, it would seem that you are new to computer recording. Pro Tools make sense, because it is the software that comes the closest to replicating the look and feel of a multitrack tape recorder, so it should feel somewhat familiar.

Second, most modern, professional studios use Pro Tools…although most of them use the HD system which can cost tens of thousands of dollars. If you decide to record at a professional studio in the futuer, then you may be able to work out a deal. Usually, they will give you the option of mixing and/or mastering yourself so you only pay for the studio time intead of the studio time in addition to the wage of an engineer. If you are already familiar with the LE system, then you will save a LOT of time getting over the learning curve, as the two programs work in a very similar fashion.

Along those same lines, you may record yourself, but mix and master at a professionaly studio to take advantage of their effects plugins and superior processing software. If you decide to do this, you can burn your Pro Tools LE project to a CD and drop it right into the HD system at the studio. You won’t be able to do this with ANY other home recording software without jumping through significant hoops and giving yourself a massive headache.

Aside from these reasons, everything really is ready-made with the Mbox system…everything is included (except for mics, etc.) and, furthermore, everything is tailor-made to work together. If you’ve never worked with computer recording, just getting your sound card/interface to "talk" with your software can sometimes be a huge problem.

So get on Google and do some comparisons between the different Pro Tools LE systems, in addition to the Mbox, there is the Digi 002 rack system as well as others…plus, they have a whole line of M-audio systems and have they’re own very of Pro Tools (also free and VERY similar to LE).

I hope this has helped.

Good luck, and happy recording!

they’re PCs if that helps. i want to be able to work on my music from my computer instead of my moms so does anybody know how to transfer my projects?

Copy the project files from where they’re stored on the desktop computer to a USB stick, and then copy them from the stick into a folder on the laptop.
 

I wanted to record an upcoming TV news broadcast in which my company name is mentioned as well as an video clip of my company building will be aired. What equipment I shall use to record it live and in what format I can record it? We want to preserve this clips for our marketing department. TQ

Do you have a VCR? It’s a little quaint but it’s literally the best thing.

I just need to know for mine, I am using windows XP PRO at the moment, please do not say Windows XP Home, or Vista or anything windows, I have tried them all, Thanks!.

Primarily it comes down to hardware and which program you use. Operating system has very little to do with it. Find software you like and pick an operating system accordingly

A short snippet from the DVD:
“Tom Dowd and the Language of Music”

Eric Clapton talks about Tom Dowd, and Tom Dowd talks about the digital recording.
The reason why I picked this part is, the pointless “Analog vs. Digital” discussions we have in recording technology and studio equipment web forums.

Tom Dowd litteraly invented the faders we use today on mixing consoles. He’d been recording music since late 40s! His recording techniques had revolutionised the world of music recording. But here, he doesn’t talk about gears and studio equipment… he talks about “capturing the musical expression”. The truth is… this is EXACTLY what’s this all about: capturing the music.

R.I.P. Tom Dowd.

I recommend this DVD to anyone who is interested in music recording, and the history of popular music. The stories are simply awesome. It’s one of the best documentaries I’ve seen.
