Need help.

I recorded 3 tracks from my keyboard straight into line-in of my PC. Then I recorded 2 vocal tracks and 2 acustic guitar tracks using a SP C1 mic through an ART Tube Pre and into line-in on the PC.

When I mixed down everything sounded great. Then I burned a CD. When I play it through the computer it sounds exactly the same. But when I play it in other CD players all of the parts recorded from the keyboard are as they were, but the parts recorded on mic have dropped way back in the mix. Also I did notice some latency problems when I played it outside the PC. Don't know if that could be causing it or not.

Any ideas or suggestions.

Are you playing back through computer speakers ?
Check that you don't have any fancy 3d-sound boost thing going on in your Windoze sound properties.


What way is everything panned ?

Yes, They are computer speakers.

Sound properties are okay.

Drums, bass, and lead vocal are centered. Rhythm acoustic panned at 2 o'clock, Lead acoustic at 10 o'clock, Backup vocal at 11 o'clock, and keyboard at 1 o'clock.

This problem sounds really weird, but if you are playing it from the burnt CD though your computer speakers, and it sounds okay, then I would blame them.

Could you get a 1/8" or 1/4" jack to aux cable from your sound card into another stereo, preferably one that the song currently sounds weird on, and mix it again using that setup ?

Latency though....I don't know....maybe I'm barking up the wrong tree, but that is what I would try first anyway.
