question for home recordists.

<< < (2/2)

Gryff:
Ooh ooh! I can keep it alive! "Recordist" is not a word!

Uh... Yeah!

blue dinosaur jr:
Where you using a DI box with the mic, or where you using the mic-in port on your soundcard?

If you were doing the latter, then I would expect it to sound like crap.  The mic-in port on a computer soundcard is meant for those tiny little high-impedance mics that used to come with computers, not a high quality, low-impedance mic like your Shure.  To use that port you need a DI box that will convert the signal to high-impedance then use the line-in port, not the mic-in port.

Or just get a mic mixer.

ImRonBurgundy?:
actually, i figured out what my problem was about an hour after posting (and after trying to record through the effects send and being underwhelmed by the sound quality). for some reason GarageBand was reading the computer's built-in microphone as the line-in source, not the mic right in front of my amp. so, i switched it over, and it sounds fine. problem solved. thanks for your help, though!

RefD:
do yourself a favour and stop using Garageband.

IOW, there are far better programs out there like Cubase and Logic, for heaven's sake!

ImRonBurgundy?:
Garageband seems to be working just fine for me, thanks.
