Frustration (rant)

Im really frustrated right now. Im trying to record the basic rythym guitar tracks for a song i wrote a year ago and have played several times but i cant ever get it to sound right when i record it. Ive got like 15 takes amd none of them sound right. Im starting to get really pissed off. I think its either my computer or the pickups on my axe acting up but its really fucking pissing me off. I just had to write this somewhere. and right now im ready to smash my guitar into my computer moniter MUST RESIST URGE TO DESTROY THINGS...

If you wanna destroy things... take some useless shit outside, and smash them all with a hammer. ;) Yeah when I record stuff to the computer, it always seems a bit screwy, and doesn't sound right. I always screw up... just have some patience, and it will be rewarded. :)

i wish i could smash crap outside but im at college and have nothing to smash and nothing to smash it with

that sucks. If teleporters existed, I'd send you some shit to smash, and a sludge (sledge?) hammer :D :cool:

I always have loads of scrap glass in my studio, and let me tell you, it's super theraputic . No matter what your pissed at or about. Smash some glass and you feel better.

What software are you using? And is it the tone that's off or the rythmn?

damn, i wish we could get in a studio,we made like 2 masters once and the guy never followed through with the rest,i/we were soo pissed.....



Holy shit ,i'm am sooo fucked up right now,haha sorry had to mention that

Cubase SX the tone is fine but the rythm is all fucked up its like theres a delay and its overdubbing itself i think it might just be my comp running slow

I cant afford to go into a studio soo i just use bootleg recording software on my comp its just as good when your comp is running well and all you need is a halfway decent sound card

really ,hey i'd love to hear about this,if you ever get the time...

i had a freind with something similar,but his sounded so bad it couldn't pick up alot of our more primative instraments....




sorry for the typing ,Lortabs aren't heping

I use Steinberg Cubase SX since your comp will probably only take one mic input youl have to record all your instruments one at a time on individual tracks (shouldnt be a problem because Cubase can handle 24 tracks) PM if you want more details

Yeah thats ok unless you want multiple teacks which i do because i make the drum stuff up and then import it then i do the guitars and then the vocals

Yeah, I was thinking it sounded like you were getting data pockets. I used to have that problem all the time with Acid. It's usually a case of not enough ram or not enough memory. Live recording takes a whole shit ton of ram so adding some more will probably smooth things out a lot.

yeah that sounds like a good idea because im using a 3 year old comp and imm not sure how much RAM it has probably not enough i jacked up the paging file to 1000MB so that should help a bit

well i just got some better software (sonar 4 producer edition) its complicated as fuck but i finnaly figured out some basic stuff. well i got the tracks down but im gonna wait till i can get a better vocal take to mix em so im happy now

you should find a way to post it when you get done,i'm looking from a quality standpoint,but hey , i'm sure we;d like to here it to... :thumb: ...

yeah i was thinking of that it might be awhile though because i dont like the lyrics and am going write tottaly new ones plus i have to find free file hosting service

oh,that's cool....certainly no rush,it your stuff,haha...

i'm bad with lyrics...i'm always writing lyrics that are waaay to complicated for me to do,..alot of inprove at our shows,hahaha...

ill have a working sample up in a few seconds for killerkat

well ill have it up tommorow anybody know any good free file hosting sites
