Hello! I'm new on this forum, but I have been a musician, band member and home recorder for about 20 years now.
By far the biggest dissapointments regarding home recording for me is this: my audio always seems to be too quiet.
I record in Cubase 10 Elements through:
- a Yamaha mg10xu mixer/2 channel OUT audio interface
- directly from my Yamaha CP73 keyboard through USB (= i.e. an audio interface as well)
When I record through the Yamaha CP73 keyboard, the volume buttons are inactive, so I presume the audio level I send out is very much OK.
I get this in Cubase:
When I export this and playback, this is obviously too quiet compared to any other source...
In total this would look something like this:
It also always sounds like there is just no headroom: when I use the faders to turn up the volume, this almost immediately results in a red master fader and distortion...
Obviously i'm doing something wrong. I'm very good with IT, computers and audio and I also did a Cubase intro course, but clearly I'm missing a link here.
