Audio Recording Tips!

Hello my name is Johnny C! I started recording about 9 years ago and it has been one of the greatest Journey's of my life. I have recorded right at 40 people and have recorded for NPR and a few other various programs also. I wish I would have written all the people down along the way! It is crazy how time flies! Read my tips below and it will save you a lot of trouble. It took me about 4 moves and many years of matching gear.

It all started back in 1999 when I started investing my ex-tra cash into recording gear. I got started using a friend's computer back in the days where you had to go into bios and optimize your PC for recording. I spent much of my time researching how to build the perfect recording machine. After a few artists I decided to sink some cash into a faster and more specked out machine.
So I drove to Atlanta and found a really cool computer shop. I got an Asus Tech motherboard with 512 of Kingston and 1.74 p4 processor. Remember this was about 6 years ago and that is a slow computer now. Let me tell you. I have been nothing but happy with the performance of the Asus machine!

Wd World Book

For the most part I really never had any problems until one day it just shut down right in the middle of a session. Come to find I smoked the power supply and had to update it. So I moved from that smoked 250 to a constant power 500-watt power supply. I will tell you what; it has run like a dream through 25 artists with 4 full cds.

For many years I ran my buddy Josh's Gadget Labs Pres with windows 98 and had to optimize it. I loved the output features and it sounded great! But a few years after Gadget labs went under XP came out and they didn't have drivers for it. I hear that someone wrote the drivers for xp. I am sure it will be used for years to com. So I had to get a new sound card and decided to get a Tascam 1804.

I was a little hesitant about the size of 1804 and things don't always perform by their looks. I went out and bought Xp and installed it. Then I loaded the drivers for the Tascam tweaked a few settings opened up Cubase and hit record! Oh yeah I forget to mention that the Tascam is a Fire wire device. Then I decided to move from 8 pres to 16. So I ordered the Focusrite 8 and I connected them via optical. The Tascam is the main card with the Focusright set up in the Tascam on the Adat channels 9-16. I have recorded several full bands and it has proved to be a workhorse DAW.

A few years ago I read an article about Ray Charles recording with Sonar. Well I had to check it out! So I grabbed me a copy of Sonar 7 and I totally loved the features and workflow. The verbs and effects were way more adjustable than Cubase. Then I noticed that Cubase was a lot faster and easier for tracking so I went back to it. Then I decided to change my whole game plan.

I ordered a Mac Duo 2ghz with a 1000 ram running logic Express 7. This is where it is. The days of windows are over for me! Well for audio recording, I do like the Mac book a great deal. You can really add some crazy tripped effects as well as lay some really groovy loops. It is a win win.
I have been thinking about updating my ram and put windows on here for some web work, maybe one day. IT really only takes me about 10 minutes to set-up the project folder and set the tempo and then find the right loop.

Once I find a cool loop I will loop it out and record my tracks to it. Then I will go back and start adding and tweaking tracks. It really is a cool program! I am waiting to get some more apple loops so I can build a nice library. In good time.

I have owned many mics throughout the years and have found a liking to AKG c-2000's as well 57's. I have owned an Re-20, several MXL"S, Beyer Dynamics (killer mics by the way), AKG c-1000's, 58's, and Marshall's. The proper mic really depends on the style and the voicing and dynamic of what you want to record. For example, if you have a wispy voice then you would want a condenser and if you have more aggressive loud voice you may want to use a 57 or 58 or even a larger diaphragm mic like a 421.

Here are some great tips I have thrown together that will get you started in the right path! Just remember that recording is a craft an it takes many years to tweak out your style! It does take awhile to learn so be patient! I have been mixing live for 12 years and had worked for some of greats! I really do believe that you can use live technique in the studio vice versa!

1. Be prepared! Pre production can be a very powerful in the whole process! I like to lay my drum tracks and then rehearse with them for a few days! It is a really good way to tweak and work out all the tweaks!

2. Once you have found the sound and feel that you are looking for it, it is time to lay some tracks! What I do in Logic! I set up 16 tracks and I will keep the first 8 for drum tracks and I will arm 9 and 10! I usually will put my vocal on 9 and acoustic on 10! Be sure set you're in and out points! If you are recording many tracks you will want to increase the amount of ram that your program uses! This really comes in handy later if you add loops and instruments to the mix! IF you don't enough ram to run your program then it may crash while recording!

3. How to find that perfect sound! I love to mic my acoustic and run direct also! This is where I used to mess up all the time! I would always get strange pops on my acoustic track and realized what was causing it! Every time the acoustic and plug would lose a little connection it be recorded! Guess what I found that works great! Use some WD-40 on your tips! All I can figure is that the corrosion cause a break in connected! Smoke will cause a film on electronics also!

4. Check your batteries and make sure they are good! Don't use those cheap they really don't work well! I love the Pro cells for the reliability and they last forever!

5. Make sure your power source is grounded properly! I recommend a battery back up also! I would also make sure you have a good quite power supply on you pc!

6. Always restart your pc or Mac before you so any recording. It reboots your system and frees up the resources that are needed to process all the information. It is always a good idea to not run any other programs while you record. Never, I repeat never have another audio program running unless you are using it for your recording purposes. I use word to read lyrics and haven't had any problems! It is not as a big of an issue as it used to be though. Back in earlier windows it was a big issue! Just remember a lot of computers (or macs) don't like to share audio drivers with different programs at the same time.

7. Updating isn't as important as you think. I ran the same 98 and cubase happily together for 4 years. That is success! I attribute it to not ever putting it on-line; I bought a laptop just for that purpose.

8. File Handling. I have found that moved files could give you a headache. I have found out the hard way! Always save your audio folder in the file folder as your project. Always make a folder per new project. That way when you move your files they will all be nice in tidy all in one place. Other wise you may waist a few days of your life trying to figure out where those new audio tracks went, plus it makes you look like a chump.

9. Always!! Save Save Save your song. Be sure before you checking out that new verb plug-in that you save your track. I have had Logic crash while mixing before a save. Logic is a cool back-up feature that will save your butt in this situation. But be aware that if you delete a track, it is gone! I wish they had a step-back feature like a lot of other programs.

10. Mac or Pc? It really depends what you want to do. I love them both and have had great success with each one, using all the tips listed up above. I do think Mac has caught me for now. I do think the learning curve in tougher with a Mac. After you get the hang of it. You will be recording like a Pro Engineer.

11. Keep your levels clean! If you peg into the red you are just square waving the recording. Use a compressor to catch vocal peaks. Always use a pop filter on a vocal! Unless you are using a dynamic or the mic has a built in Pop filter. The Filter will catch the air before it hits the diaphragm. Sometimes causing a popping sound.

12. I like to set my recording at 44 and 24bit. I do dither down to 16 bit for CD. It always sounds great. Find what works for you! It really depends on how much disk space that you want to you use.

13. Monitors? Use what sounds great to you! For a few years I used some decent passive near fields that were hot that year. Gear changes so fast and there really are some great sounding speakers out there. I have used all kinds of monitors! I love headphones, cause you can use them anywhere and have your privacy. I suggest the Sony MDR-7506 they have awesome response and a nice full range. There are a great deal of powered monitors out there and do some research and find out what you need for your purpose! Don't forget that Shielded ones are the way to go!.

Now start you have some great tips to help you get started! Pick out that hit tune and lay it down and start tweaking away. There are many ways to mix and many styles! Go find your own thing! Before you know it you will highly demanded audio engineer.

There are many new site that are popping up all over the web that are making a lot of Banks and people happy. So cash in on the web while it is open and enjoy the liberty that you have. You are the worst person that a Record Company Hates, you know the one; that keeps all the money in his own account! Go for it!

Tips To Select Proper Hard drive

Day by day computers are getting advanced. Capacity and performance are increasing with every passing year. This is true for the primary storage also. Latest Hard disks are getting bigger in capacity and with higher rotational speed can access the data faster. This is good news for computer users.

The digital revolution has brought with it the need to store vast amounts of data. The new Hard disks are ready to take the challenge. The good news is, these Hard disks with higher capacity are affordable. Thanks to a very competitive market and demanding consumers.

External Hard Drive

Hard disk technology is suitable for the bandwidth demands of today's applications. The 7200 rpm hard disk drives with a minimum storage space of 40 GB and above are now more common than ever before.

The demand for storage in PCs has boomed. With a lot of multimedia files being used today, including MP3, Flash files and movies--even today's entry level 40 GB hard disks aren't enough for users. On the other hand, 80 - 400 GB, 7200 rpm drives are also available and are preferred by professionals.

Depending on your need, you should select the proper hard drive. Ask yourself few questions, before going for the selection of new hard drive. This strategy will be useful in long run.

Think of the following points.

Hard drive storage capacity, speed, brand and price.

First select the Hard drive storage capacity.

1) Also what software, you will loading in your computer.

2) What type of files, you will be loading.

If you are a basic computer user, go for the 40 GB hard drive which is sufficient for OS and file storage. The text files require very less storage space however multimedia files require large storage space.

If you are a gamer or a graphic designer, go for minimum 80 / 120 GB hard drive.

If you are movie or song lover who would be storing lot of movies then go for higher capacity of 240 GB depending on your budget.

Let us select the proper speed. The most common speeds which are available in the market are 5400 and 7200 RPM. The 5400 RPM means hard disk will be rotating at a speed of 5400 revolutions per minute.

Now there is not much price difference between 5400 and 7200 rpm. It is better to go for 7200 RPM hard drive.

It is better to go for standard brand. Seagate, Maxtor, Western Digital, Samsung & Hitachi are the standard brands available in the market.

The above suggestions are for your internal hard drives.
If you have to carry data frequently, you can go for external hard drive. These drives can be connected to computer through USB port. There is absolutely no difference between external hard drive and internal hard drive if you consider the operation or drive mechanics. USB interface has made external hard drive installation very user friendly.

External hard drives give lot of portability. However these external hard drives have higher access time compared to desktop drive because of USB interface. But because of USB interface, CPU utilization is less in the range of 8.4 to 10. This means less load on CPU.

Iomega, Freecom, Transcend are some of the manufacturers of external hard drives. These drives require external power supply and are most suitable for desktop use. When you are selecting external hard drive, check whether the manufacturer is offering a carry bag, data cable and power supply if it is externally powered.

Also check the warranty offered by the manufacturer. Now a days, some of the manufacturers offer warranty for 3 years.
