I'm very new in recording music and here is the result. www.myspace.com/sellingmymusic . I've tried everything and the 'atmosphere' sounds are still there. So help me

Thanks

Sound forge won't help you. You need to get rid of the hiss in your recording chain. Check your cables and connections for the culprit.

I used a microphone to record it. So what software do you suggests??

Teddy let's be a bit more specific here, "I used a microphone" is tantamount to saying "I have eaten some food".

Starting with your microphone, let us know which microphone, the type of cable connection may help depending upon your sound card, into what interface or mixer or sound card, on a PC or Mac, and of course which software you are using. Add on, just for fun, where you recorded the audio.

Do you have a lot of cables on or nearby the microphone cord?

The VO-BB offers a lot of great experienced folks who may be able to help but we need information.

I used a very cheap microphone (I got it for free when I purchased a Linguaphone).

But now the hissing sound is gone when I try using Goldwave.
Are there any suggestion for the software and microphone??

sorry for the grammar (english is not my mother tongue)

[Frank F]

Goldwave for software is a good start. Also consider Audicity (also FREE). A microphone with a frequency range of 20 Hz to 18 to 20kHz would be a minimum requirement. Most inexpensive microphones such as you described are not designed for recording music or vocals. These "cheap" microphones were developed for computer telephony or just to play with on the computer.

Glad to have another French speaking person here on the VO-BB, our Liz also speaks French.

Consider finding two things which will help; as you are trying to record music a good sound card and a good microphone. Consider searching some websites such as www.Sweetwater.com or www.MusiciansFriend.com for both the sound card and microphone.

Another thing which would help with your recordings would be to record the guitar track alone then record your vocals on antother track. You will need to be able to monitor the guitar track in headphones while you are singing and recording the second audio track. This will require a good sound card with more than a stereo only input and output.

Goodluck on your choices.
