Any electronic piece can cause distortion. Mic - see above. Preamp, yea, esp. the $5 worth of electronics that can come with cheaper interfaces. Even your compressor can … One good thing - if your converter overs you will notice. But really, you have to go down the list from mic to converter back to mic, testing each iteration. And tho I don't sing, singers are usually like every other musician and play louder than they practice. Might be the problem. @

Looks good. Love wavetables. Thanks

I’ve stuck w/ 22/44 since the time rate conversion could choke a computer. Never heard a difference, even after many pros went to 96 simply because they could.

Find another, similiar file to put into the element(s). One that doesn't have a long attack.

Thanks

You can’t record cake effects when tracking. Just about every soft fix comes post recording, ie., you only add effects to the clean recording. You’ll need to record thru external hardware, an analog channel strip or something similar. Capture the sound you require going in. as to settings, that is totally source song dependent. Tempo should determine the time settings on compressors to reinforce or pulse to the tempo. eq is dependent on upon finding the tracks’ most important frequencies and the relationship between other track’s defining frequencies. You’re best option is to try different presets and work from those.

Ribbons sound better backed off a bit. If you get to much of a bad room or too much bleed use a 57 or dynamic close.

just checking ….
