Re: Full Music Recording on my iMac? Posted by piyush (from: 210.212.157.254) on September 24, 2001 at 04:43:20: In Reply to: Full Music Recording on my iMac? posted by Cyn on April 28, 2001 at 21:15:06: : I have an iMac DV SE 500mhz graphite. I am also a mp3.com artists in which i record hip hop. I want to make pro sounding music. I noticed PC users make excellent sounding music. Even some mac users sound like they recorded their music in a studio. My question is: I use a external Mic (a really old Sony, i think it's mono, mic) and choose Sound In in the control panels, set the gain, and record all vocals in Felt Tip Sound Studio Pro, then paste all the vocal tracks onto the instrumental. But the vocals sounds different. I mean, it doesnt sound crisp, or pro like the other artists that make their music with their computers. Now, the question is, should i use my iMac's built in Mic, or should i buy those thin PC mics that come with the Gateway compters? And will it work on my mac? Im looking to get stero quality music. Cause the instrumental sounds pro, but the vocals sound mono-like. If you listen to your favorite band, you would notice that it sounds like their are around you, surround sound, but my recordings sound like im in front of you, the vocals are centered, unlike pro music, in which it sounds crisp, and soundlike in both sides of the head phones. Please help me. Follow Ups: Post a Followup Name: E-Mail: Subject: Comments: : : I have an iMac DV SE 500mhz graphite. I am also a mp3.com artists in which i record hip hop.
