Hello all,
I'm having an issue with the level of my vocal tracks both during recording and at playback. The levels are way too low and the wave forms are extremely small after I've recorded. After recording I have to edit my vocal tracks and "boost" the volume several times just to hear the track. I've been using this process and it works but I know something isn't right. Even with the line inputs cranked during recording I can barely hear the track while recording and more importantly during playback!
I'm using Adobe Audition 3.0 on my laptop. I run USB into a Lexicon Alpha interface. For vocals I use my only mic- a SM57- into the Lexicon. I've tried recording with both the XLR AND 1/4" inputs on the Lexicon with the same minimal response.
I've recorded guitars and keys direct and the signals are fine. It's just when recording vocals I run into this issue. Does anyone have any ideas as to what could be wrong?
