r/recording

Any help would be appreciated. I’ve had the same issue with the nt1 by the way, as soon as I boost the gain up high enough, there’s just too much noise. The mic is literally almost touching just next to the 12th fret.

I want to have a really good video recording setup. I’ve started to research and I’m thinking I could either invest in a nice video camera or invest in a nice gimbal and mic for my iPhone. Interested in people’s opinions on what might be best. Whatever the solution is I’d like it to be pretty portable. If there’s better solutions I’m open to all paths!

I fully realize just using my iPhone to record will be fine, but I want to take it a step further both to suite my tinkering/hobbyist side and so we have really nice videos of our child since I treasure watching my own families home movies.

Hi, I have found a lot of old tapes from a flea market, and I would like to digitize them and clean them up. I have a super USB cassette capture recorder, which works fine for more modern tapes so I assume the "motor hum" I am hearing is on the tape iself. Here is a fragment of the redording:

I am using Ableton (or Audacity), when I choose to remove noise (in Audacity), it does a fairly decent job but the sound loses all "warmth" and sounds very tinny as in muffled.

Are there any techniques to removing this hum as much as possible? I do not mind if some is left, it is mainly used for sampling and re-use in songs.

Hi everyone,

Hi, I’m recording on a MacBook Pro (M1) using OBS and trying to capture both my mic and internal audio.

The recording works, but when I play it back, my mic is much louder than the system audio (calls/videos), so it’s hard to hear the other person.

I’ve already tried BlackHole and QuickTime without success, and Audio Hijack works but it’s too expensive for how rarely I’d use it. I tried Omi as well, but no luck there.

Ideally, I’m looking for a simple solution that doesn’t require buying expensive software or installing a bunch of extra apps.

Does anyone know how to fix the audio levels in OBS, or a better way to record both mic + internal audio on Mac?

Thanks in advance!

I charge R500 for mixing and mastering and artists locally keep complaining that I am expensive, am I?

What the hell is happening here? LTD ESP w/ EMG pickups. Used guitar. Brought it back to the shop & they told me it's fine.

Hey guys, I am running a simple set up for recording drums with GarageBand. I have the scarlett i1820 interface, and there are issues with my kick drum levels. The kick drum mic just sounds clicky when recording and there’s no bottom and or really any volume either. I have to put the gain almost at max volume to hear anything, so I’m wondering if my mic is shot. Its the electro voice pl33 kick drum mic. Any thoughts or suggestions?

After realizing the issues that arise with recording vocals with my condenser microphone in my untreated room, I’ve decided to record my vocals in a closet that is essentially a small square. The closet is full of clothes to the left and forward, while there is a window I am covering up with a moving blanket to the right. Behind me the door closes. Which direction should I face when recording my vocals?

Can anyone help me identify this noise in my home studio? There’s a wind breeze like sound that is infecting my guitar recordings and I have been trying to troubleshoot it for about two weeks and cannot figure out what is causing this. I have changed cables, bought new ones, turned on ground loops, moved rooms. I cannot figure out for the life of me what this is. This noise happens on every recording I take and in my opinion ruins them.

Setup:

2024 MacBook Pro

Uad Apollo twin x

Quad cortex out output 3 into line of uad

High gain patch.

This noise also seems to happen when I record the DI in. I know the hiss is normal but the wind breeze noise is what I’m focusing on.

I would really appreciate your opinions on this 1 piece and what could be done better

video

I have decided not to use ai voice for my YouTube channel.

I make YouTube videos in the documentary niche. I’ve attached a sample clip of my voice-over, and I wanted to ask if you’re able to understand it and whether you think it’s good.

Audio and voice quality are very important for documentaries, so I’d really appreciate honest feedback—especially on whether my accent is clear and if you are able to understand.

Thank you guys :)

I am attempting to record a video for something and upload it over youtube, however when i do, the quality of it is horrible, but when i look at the video in my files, it looks perfect, why is this happening?

I'm looking for a way to discreetely record conversations so to be able to relisten to them afterwards. I have to be able to fit it in a notebook flap, a shirt pocket or so, not just clip them on my shirt like lavel mics. Mostly this is in noisy environments (ventilators inside, noisy outside) so if it would have some built-in voice isolation abilities, that would help me out. Any suggestions ?

In my previous post, I asked for feedback, and some kind people on the internet mentioned that there was a lack of clarity, along with issues in the recording—too much bass and gain. I’ve tried to fix those problems. What do you think now?

English isn’t my first language, so my pronunciation and accent might sound a bit unusual, but are you able to understand what I’m saying? ^_^

thank you! :)

Hey guys! I come up with my best melodies while I'm driving. I want to know the best budget to mid level audio recorder that I can use to record melodies that I sing while I'm playing my song background track through my car speakers.

I have a 2016 Mazda CX5 GT, so unfortunately when I'm playing a track through Dropbox via bluetooth and then I open my audio recording app on my iphone, the car thinks I'm doing a phone call and stops the music playing in the background.

I have bandlab and a lt25 frnder amp, and I'm trying to connect the two. I don't have an audio interface. Does anyone have a solution?

Hey!

So, my set-up is:

• Xiaomi Tab 5 tablet
• Steinberg UmkKII audio interface & USB battery
• 2x Rode NT5 microphones

Can I get through a 120 minute choir recording with this setup?
