Messed around with Pro Tools today. I figured out the problem of why my guitar was sounding like shit through the recording. It was because I had the M-Audio interface and speakers both plugged in at the same time. So I just unplugged the speakers and used headphones on the M-Audio. The guitar records perfectly clean, with no background hiss or nothing. The guitar sounds like a perfect studio recording.

However, even if I can get the microphone to work good, there is a lot of hissing noise in the background. I would like the vocals to sound studio perfect, I’m sure there is way to do it but I’ll figure it out. Maybe has something to do with input/output stuff and maybe has something to do with “noise reduction” feature or might have to mess around with the equalizer to help get rid of the hiss.

I’ve been working on riff ideas and stuff. Will start writing lyrics again too. Pro Tools is getting easier and coming back to me. I will record with a “click track” from this point on so I can play in time. I want to try my best and record more professionally my own way.

Maybe later this Spring/Summer, I’ll start getting new songs on the net. When I do though, I’ll probably upload them to this blog here first, then I’ll make a facebook fanpage to upload them to as well. Yep, I refuse to go back to myspace ’cause I hardly ever touch that site much anymore. Myspace is the worst thing for music and I find facebook to be a better promoting tool.
