Just plug it in, turn on the phantom power, turn the gain up on the Scarlet until its getting a solid signal, but NOT close to clipping, then make sure you're not clipping in the daw.

without reading all of the comments, my knee jerk response is that its a cheap USB mic compared to XLR mic. I have not heard a USB mic that sounded good. The converters are just bad.. that guy might be running that Behringer mic into a decent pre/converter and it would make all the difference in...

ignore the trolls

I didn't see it mentioned so I wanted to add.. For me.. changing the mic'd position makes the most impact on exactly what you are struggling with. Pushing the mic back from the amp changes all the sound waves as they arrive to the mic.. completely changing the response of the mic. That is the...

In my experience, its a not bad tool to show you how a lot of different effects are impacting your mix. For me, a basement warrior only mixing for myself, I find it useful when I am unsure on which direction to take a mix. I find all the presets to be exaggerated versions of what you might...

I like a multiband compressor first shaving off no more than 2-3 dbs, then a channel strip with EQ and compression

I agree with whats said. If you want a cleaner recording, then set it up properly before the show.. otherwise record it off the board. I like your song.. the vocalist has great pitch for a live gig.

Welcome to the forum. You are probably not going to get much response here. You have exactly one post in our community and you are asking people to give you there time and efforts for free. No such thing as a free lunch my friend.

apparently we did

I have gotten good acoustic sound from a 57 but it needs a lot of gain. My experience with that preamp is NOT lots of gain. Those USB boxes are convenient but can't do everything. that said.. -35 is pretty low. Have you tried recording vocals into it to see if you can get a usable sound? Or...

The best way for you to know.. is to record yourself singing the exact same phrase repeatedly and listen to how each is different. I will tell you though.. as time goes on I find myself liking the sound further and further away. The song makes a difference too.. sometimes the "upclose" sound...

Looks like you have a lot of nice and powerful stuff coming. My advice on getting the swing of things: 1 - Download some completed songs done in ProTools that you can dissect. I use Reaper so I can't tell you where to find them, but they are out there for you to learn from. Since you have a...

and it might seem obvious but make sure the toms are tuned up nicely. critical to have them singing into the mic

+1 a 57 against the grill, and moderate/low volumes, will be fine. If you're worried about it, just sit the amp on a couch, backed into the back cusion. It will kill the first reflections that *could possibly* cause issues. but personally wouldn't worry about it. I have got great recorded...

I feel for ya.. but if you would have hooked me up with some vocal coaching back when I asked you I could have carried on your legacy. ;) Let me know if you're around and need some motivation.. we could always jam for some inspiration. :)
