But I am thankful for your help. I really feel kinda stupid here, cuz I never used computer software and dont quite understand all you said. Thanks again! Keep with it. We're not going anywhere. Once you get the swing of editing inside the computer, the older ways of tape overdubbing will seem like...

Okay now shoot me to pieces LOL. Raincheck. Maybe later. You're already well on the production pathway to knowing that you need a pop filter, good positioning, quiet room, etc. etc. This is going to be a nasty shock to a newbie. Remember, he thinks he's going to buy the Right Microphone and everyth...

We run into this problem regularly because as above, there is no good, simple answer. We do have one very common failing -- a mistake that everybody makes. It's very difficult to isolate your environment from the recording. "How can I get rid of the TV sound in the background of my "Hamlet...

We obsessively produced three hardware methods of making theatrically perfect overdubs.

You can split the system in half by plugging your earbuds or headphones into the iPhone and play the work. It should be loud and clear. If it's not, then you may not get very much further than that. You're making this way too complicated by needing to service the iPhone, but we'll do what we can. Th...

You're going to have to fill in some of the holes. I simply plug my mixer into the computer Windows does not have a "simply" anything. Exactly how did you do that and with which mixer? There are two delays. One affects the match between tracks one and all the others. That's called Recordin...

While you could do that, it would be pretty painful. I'd be using one of those guitar-tuner apps for your iPhone.
