Hi, Chris.
Thanks for the info. I'll see if I can get hold of the books.
I've got a Sure mic, idk whether 57 or 58 hooked up to a FocusRite Scarlet 18.

Senior. I haven't read it yet, but he has a similar book on mixing that is
excellent. More info at:
http://www.cambridge-mt.com/RecordingSecrets.htm
and this site, Recording Revolution.http://therecordingrevolution.com/
Again, I haven't taken his recording course, but his mixing course that I
did take was great. He releases a ton of free content on his blog, on
Youtube etc. as well.
As for recording vocals, What sort of microphone do you have, and are you
running it into a decent audio interface? Arm an audio track for recording.
Make sure it's input column is set to wherever your microphone is
connected. Now, make a very loud noise, yell right into that microphone and
make sure you aren't hitting 0dBFS, meaning digital maximum. Turn your
microphone input's volume down, until shouting or singing loudly into your
microphone doesn't get close to that 0dB mark. Don't worry about recording
quietly. If you have a decent quality interface and are recording 24-bit
audio, you can turn things up after the fact.

Hi, Everyone.
Are there articles/websites/books you can point me to so I can get the
basics of recording under my belt? CT has some stuff, but assumes you
know what you're doing.
I've got Sonar installed, but have mainly used it for mixing down MIDI
and turning it in for class submissions. I now need to get in to
recording vocals and adding them to my MIDI, and am finding it's waaay
more complicated than just singing in to a mic like you do at a
Karaoke bar--great fun, btw *smile*.
Ideas?
Thanks,
Dani
