I have downloaded a programme, Goldwave. I have a stereo microphone that is all. Now I plan to take out my guitar and sing some songs I've written. Do I set up the programme first? ie the volume, eq and various other effects or afterwards?
I have tried a couple of sound bites so far one vocal and one guitar they sound really quiet.
I know it would be better if I had a pre-amp or a mixer but I don't. I figure it should be as easy as singing into a tape-recorder. Is it?
