I'm new to this forum and new to home recording. As a voiceover artist, I record only voice. My setup: Audiophile 2496 sound card, DBX286A pre-amp, Alto S-6 mixer, Rode NT1000 mic, AKG k240 headphones and Cool Edit Pro v.2. My OS is XP.
I have the mic plugged into the preamp, the preamp is also plugged into the soundcard and the headphones and soundcard are plugged into the mixer.
I've made my Audiophile 2496 sound card my default sound card (I also have SB!Live).
Finally, the question : I can't hear myself in the headphones while I am recording. I am able to hear the playback of the recording through the headphones but would ideally like to be able to hear myself as I am recording. The folks who sold me the hardware told me that CEP is the culprit - it doesn't allow direct monitoring through the headphones.
Having worked in computer support for many years I tend to be a little suspicious when the hw guys blame the sw guys and vice versa.
Are they correct in their analysis? Is there any way I can monitor myself while recording?
Thanks.
Elaine
