RenzoTheMC Posts: 8	Posted - Thu Jul 24, 2003 1:50 pm  Okay, I've been using Cool Edit Pro for a while... and my sound has been...well..sub par....better than some...but not what it could be... so i just purchased a sound card...Sound Blaster Extigy... and i'm in the process of getting a better microphone... I've heard some recordings of other people using the same equipment i'm using and it sounds so much closer to studio quality than mine...CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING WRONG???.... I'm working with 20gb worth of hard drive... My friend creates beats with other programs..(fruity loops, etc.)...he then sends me the beat/instrumentals in mp3 format over the net...I then record my vocals to the track on cool edit pro 2.0...can anyone tell me how to get my quality up to where i can make a demo???...if so I would greatly appreciate it..

Your buddy and his mic are just as crucial If it sounds like ****.....start at the source. Isolate your stuff....is it the problem? Is is what your buddy is sending...when you build on a **** recording, you get....a ****tier recording. Your sound card is secondary to a couple of things. 1. Your talent. **** is **** run through a mixer of gold. the mixer does not make it gold. 2. Your mic. Gold, through a ****ty mic, is ****. If all of the above checks clean....then I would suggest the following...... 1. Do a search on dynamics processing....it is limiting....compression......it is a good thing. 2. Check out the basic concepts of signal in, processing, and signal out.....in is from the mic, and out is to the speakers. A whole world can happen in between.
