Greetings. Consider this my first trial and error project. I've made many errors, I'm sure. But the scene I'm describing was just an informal get together for which the recording is simply an archive and a chance for me to learn how to record and mix.

Finally got my PowerBook G4/FireBox rig set up to get sound on an HD and out of my monitor speakers.

So i took it with me on a recent outing to a cabin in the woods with three friends to record our jamming.

We had three guitars and a bass, no drum. Did some electric and some acoustic, all sent through our amplifiers. Vocals through a PA.

The room was exceedingly small so the sound bounced all over the place. The room was all wood (walls, floors, ceilings) with some through rugs

I recorded off air with two mics, a Rode NT 1 and a Octava 319 which i raised to a couple of feet below the 8 foot cabin ceilings. into Cubase LE.

Anyway, as those of you who know what you are doing are probably cringing at the description so far, I appreciate that and would also appreciate any tips you can relate for the next time.

And as you have probably guessed, the two tracks sound quite muddy, also though the fundamental sounds are all right there. Its just a matter os stripping away what's not needed and then enhancing what's left.

The good news, as loud as the source was and as high as the levels on the ins, the recording did not experience any clipping or other digital hazards.

The bad news is, this recording is quite dirty.

So what I need is some advice on how to clean it up. What steps should I take/try?What filters/effects might be effective to polish it up just a bit?

Thanks for your tips and tricks in advance.

i've got my FireBox up and running on my PowerBook G4 1.5GHz with the included Cubase LE. Plug and play, minimal setup. Almost all is good.

Only one thing now. There is an awful lot of hiss and coming through the headphones with direct monitoring and playback.

i thought that digital recording is supposed to be clean, except for the clipping that can occur.

Any thoughts or advice on how to minimize the hiss?

Thanks

Recently purchased a FireBox that came with CB LE. After getting the patch so that I could actually install the software on my Powerbook 15", 1.5 Gz, Tiger OSX 10.4.4, 2 Gigs RAM, I plugged in couple of mics, set up 2 channels to record., plugged in my headphones and tried a test recording.

The set up seems to record, as i can see the wavewforms forming and the level indicators jump. It is obviously recording.

However, I can't seem to find a way to get sound out of the rig.

Problem is actually two-fold. First, I am unable to monitor through the headphones during recording.

Second, the test track is not audible on playback on either through the headphones or through the Mac's sound setup.

In addition to trying mutiple configurations of buttons active/inactive, tracks muted,. etc. No sound generation.

I also went into the Mac's sound control panel and made sure that the Firebox was selected as an output device.
I've set all the gains to their highest settings, no sound.


What am I missing?

i installed and set up the Presonus provided software mixer as directed. But these problems persist with or without the mixer in the mix.

Can anyone offer any advice?

Thanks.
