I have been experimenting with both compressors, and need help: What I do is measure the average level of the vocal track and if it is, let's say 20 dB, then this is the value that I enter into the C1 threshold, and I use 7:1 as ratio; when I use RVox I can do the same (put -20 dB as the...

ok, some updates, lot better but still having doubts Thanks for your kind responses. I reviewed the software processing and realized that i was doing things wrong (hardware is ok, i missed to mention that mic goes to mixer then mixer fx send output to compressor -which only has hard presets...

It seems that I have a consistent problem mixing/mastering vocals over karaoke tracks... I thought I'd finally got a recipe to record vocals and polish them before mixing to karaoke tracks.. but I feel frustrated again and looking for help.. My setup and chain: To record: m-audio condenser mic...

I don't care if some don't believe it can help, my intention was to provide a guide to others with something that can be followed time after time and then develop their own flavours and procedures... I don't mind of chessrock thinks my work is bullshit, I do not do this for living, but for my...

anyone can do it... I disagree with all the masters that have said you can't reach a pro-like sound, comparable to your karaoke tracks.. After years experiencing with this and that I finally reached a very simple recipie to get clean, crystal clear vocals over karaoke recordings: 1.- first...

absolutely right. And apologize for the words. All I want to ask is if you guys recommend to buy another us122 or other interface is better. I'm trying to set up a portable recording studio, I've built myself a wooden cabinet (1.5m x 1.5m) and offer it in karaoke parties and so..

should I interpret that the box is repairable? that this same happen to you? I'm still under the warranty period... and I'm considering to acquire a second us-122... or would you advise something different??

Now i have to agree with you and from now on I will take care of phantom power handling... but one thing still confuses me.. the line inputs don't work either... and the 48v should feed only the mic inputs right? and also the mic is functioning.. i tested it in a separate mixer..

i was using my toy without any problem for months, recording vocals in a laptop by plugging an M-1 condenser mic onto the right input of the US122... then one day it started to introduce a lot of noise and i barely could recognize my voice in the headphones but only when setting the input volume...

thank you very much again.. it was just matter of settings, I did the way you told me (knobs at 12 o'clock) and start moving veeeery slowly both the tascam line input and the input and output knobs on the COMP16.. now I don't hit the red section and I can hear me as well while I'm recording...

many thanks, the insert was in the wrong place... now I have confirmed that the comprssor is performing properly its function (and knobs set as expected!).. however I still have one doubt: if I set down the tascam input knob the compressor works fine, but then I cannot hear well while...

thanks, yes, it does have phantom pwr and it is active... I can use the mic/line input button in the tascam to avoid clipping but then the signal gets too low...

set up: condenser mic >> tascam 122 >> comp16 compressor (as insert in the tascam) >> tascam 122 >> USB port in a Dell Laptop I record vocals in Cubase (due to tascam drivers) and export to Audition for mastering.. the compressor was acquired because of clipping while recording, but i have...
