    So we agree here that a compressor is DEFINITLY needed on this recording. Set the peak level for somewhere around -0.1db (or 0DB if you can guarantee it works perfectly) Id also agree and say -10db SHOULD be enough to clear the noise floor from your recording and maintain all the parts being heard... you may have to lower this to perhaps -15DB but thats something you will need to experiment with. Although something else which would be wise here is (imo) start again completly. Mic the drums up, and make sure (if possible) that there is as little spill between mics as possible. Make sure all tracks are level if possible, and then get them so during recording.. the average peaks at approx -6DB once youve finished recording EQ etc until happy and then do as Greg has said and bring it all up to -0.1DB and cut off at somewhere at -10DB ish ~~ TS ~~

    LOL Greg, from now on ill let you do the talking Ill do the whole "yeh what he said" stuff ~~ TS ~~

    Right, ok ive just spoke a loda rubbish What Greg has put is definitly a good way to go forward... setting the level so it peaks at -6 is only during actual recording... If you set it at -6db whilst recording, it gives you headroom so that if the drummer hits it slightly harder for some reason or the guitarist hits a chord slightly harder.. youve still got from -6 up to 0 for it to go before it clips Sorry for the confusion ~~ TS ~~

    Just questioning something in that statement Greg...I am in no doubt you probably kno wmuch more than me about this but as far as i am aware (through music tech so far), its better to set the peak level at somewhere around -6, giving you head room for any problems later on, ~~ TS ~~

    Greg is right, as long as you can get yourself a have decent spec PC and a good soundcard, you should be ok! The advantage of a multi-track over a PC is if you say decide you want to record a gig or just a rehearsel away from your home, it can be perfect. However its accepted fairly universaly that a PC is more versatile One thing to remember is when spec'in up your PC, do not skimp out on a decent sized Hard Drive. If you do as i do, and save all the different versions of a recording and use quite a few tracks doing it, your soon going to be eating into your drive ~~ TS ~~

    i personally really like the look of that inlay, Good for the ol' metallica fans but also looks cool in general Good work dude... and yes.. we are all rather much picture fiends ~~ TS ~~

  13. TenderSurrender
    ooh the things i miss when i dont come on here for a few hours... Steve Vai fan here ~~ TS ~~
  14. TenderSurrender
    Thats definitly a good idea, you could also however buy a half decent multi-track with a fairly decent sized internal hdd and cdrw If you definitly want to stay on the pc route, get your self some decent VST plugins for your software, and as mentioned before get some compression on there since it clips Audacity isnt a bad program and i used to use it a fair amount, it gets the job done but does require some breathing room on the host pc so it can manage all the tracks and recorded sound. Personally id get a multi-track but a half decent spec pc will do you, just make sure you get yourself a nice soundcard so that you minimize any more noise getting onto the signal chain. Definitly potential dude! ~~ TS ~~
  15. TenderSurrender
    Glad its all coming together now Definitly cant wait to see this one finished, good luck with it all ~~ TS ~~

    Posting in 2 different forums isnt the best way to go about things is it? The elecforum has just as many members as this, some may visit different areas more then others but surly, those who visit the electrnonics section are more likely going to be able to help you? Youve chucked it in the electronics section, all ya gotta do is wait to see if anyone can help, in the meantime do some searching around google to see what you can find... ~~ TS ~~
  17. TenderSurrender
