Re: MIDI from GarageBand to Pro Tools
Ah, sorry, I forgot about all that Pro Tools LE stuff, sorry, I only came into Pro Tools at version 9... You could record the track in Logic, and probably export MIDI from that easier... Other than that, I'm afraid I don't really know... Good old QWS? That would definitely do it dead easy. HTH, and sorry I can't be more use.

I bought a drum set, and I am going to get some drum triggers for the heads, and run those into an Alesis Trigger IO. From there I would go USB into a computer, ideally running PT. But since I only have PT 8, I need an interface with it. So with my current setup, I would have to unhook my 003 from the studio and take it down two flights to record into my Macbook. There's no way. I suppose I could get a 50 or 100 ft usb cable, but then there's the issue of monitoring. The virtual drums would be upstairs on the Mac Pro with Strike.

Re: Oops? Here's the link to the recording
Hey Chris, Liking the vocal sound overall man, seems like it's developed a lot since the last time I remember you posting something on here. One suggestion would be to go through and delete the audio whenever there's long stretches of silence on that vocal track. I noticed a few lip smacks and other odd little sounds of you getting ready to sing during gaps in the instrumentation. You might be able to get away with a gate on the track instead of editing, but either way, cleaning up those gaps would help some. Oh, probably put that gate pre-compression if you do try that instead of editing the vocal track. Sounding good dude, keep it up.

Re: Oops? Here's the link to the recording
Oh, I used auto-tune. That may be why. I agree I probably shouldn't a done that. I just don't think my natural voice sounds all that great without it. I tend to really really! waver off key, bad! And I do mean, bad! People've told me, don't be so hard on myself, but yeah. One thing I will say is I tried shutting off my computer tower while recording the vocal to a track, and man oh god! what a difference! I thought I'd already tried that, but maybe not after all. I think that's part of what it was. my mike which is in a stand sititng on my desk was picking up the vibration from the desktop computer fan sitting not even a foot and a half to the right of the mike stand. When I shut that system totally down, killing it's fan, oh my heavens! Still not quite? the sound I want, but man is it getting closer. What is you all's experience with the fans in those old white macbooks? I hear they are barely even to a real sensitive mike, even audible at all. Your real deal breakers are more probably with those desktop towers. Chris. - Original Message - From: Sean A.
