MM3 STUDIOS

Archive for July, 2010

I am wanting to record myself playing a line of music. Then I want to record my self playing another line of music. After that, I want to add the two lines together to hear them play at the same time. Where can I find the equipment and what software do I need to do this. I intend to play a trumpet and other various brass instruments, and a piano.

All you need is a USB mic and some recording software:

i’ve been in a band for a while now , and were looking to make a demo , we don’t have enough money for an apple mac , so what we need is recording equipment for normal computers but nothing to pricey
please and thank you =D

You could start with a simple USB mic:

I have recently bought a microkorg xl and didn’t realise that you could buy it with recording software or without. Without knowing it I accidentally bought one without. Where can I buy just the software from and how much does it cost? Thanks in advance

my husband plays electric guitar and has been wanting to record his music. but he has nothing to do it with and doesn’t want to go spend a bunch of money to get it professionally done.
i am wanting to get him some of the basic recording equipment to get him started and be able to record for christmas. and i have no experience in this. could you please point me in the right direction, on what you think i need?
thanks

If he is JUST recording a guitar, get him a 1 or 2 channel mixer or audio interface he can plug his guitar right into a "Line input" so that he can plug the mixer into a computer via usb, firewire, or just the regular headphone output or RCA outputs into the computer’s audio input. There are free programs to record into and the one I used to use was Audacity. Just set the input in the preferences to audio input so it can know where to get it from.

If you have any other questions or I wasn’t too clear on something haha feel free to send me an email at slipknotrokr12@yahoo.com

This video is a simple portray of the main components you would need to start recording today. Remember the components mentioned do not have to be what is shown. But the equipment used will get you great results.

I want to email a tape recording of something to someone so that they can hear it, but be able to download it to their digital tape recorder to play it, because it is very long (20 hours) and I don’t want to disturb the integrity of it. I would like to send it to The Media. Is that possible?

Why not play it on their computer?
They can play it on their recorder only if it recognizes and plays back the format of your recorder.

You can send it as an attachment.

I have a guitar and keyboard. i would like to start recording my songs. I would also like to sing. How much will it cost me and what will i need?

Alright for singing a mic is one of the best ways to get good vocal recordings. The cost of a mic varies greatly so you may want to go to your local music shop and check out the mics.

Next for recording the best recording equipment that I know and personally own is something called a Toneport or POD Studio from the Line6 brand.

Now for the toneport its slightly cheaper because of its lower quality and will cost you:
around $190 for the UX1 and $240 for the UX2 which has two MIDI inputs (the wires for your guitar/keyboard) , it comes with gearbox software which is basically 15 amps in 1 on your computer.

The POD Studio has higher quality and also has comes with the POD Farm software which is basically an upgraded gearbox with better software.
The UX2 costs around $280-320.

So for the software you can bypass so you can hear your amp’s natural sound when recording and the POD Studio/Toneport both support mics, keyboards, guitars, bass etc.

If you have further questions just contact me and I will help, you can also check the Line6 website for more options for recording –> www.Line6.com

Enjoy!

So far I’m using the UX2 and its flawless so far

I have an audio recording in IMGP.WAV and I dragged it into iTunes and it sounds bad. It sounds good in quicktime, so what should i convert it to in order for it to play and how should I do so? ITS OF ME AND BOBBY MCFERRIN!!

I think you need a audio converter.
I have a imoviesoft audio converter, it can convert between all popular audio formats, including MP3, WAV, MID, MIDI, WMA, M4A, MP2, AAC, AC3,such as converting MP3 to WAV, AAC to AC3, WMA to MP3, etc.
I think you can have a try, good luck!
