Hi Folks!

New to this forum! I was wondering if someone could help me with a problem I am having with my 2488 neo. When I record on all 24 tracks, the sound is cut like in 1/2. the vocals level goes way down but once I hit stop and listen to my mic, the volume is loud. Why is this happening? I can't get a great vocal sound even if I put the lead vocals on three tracks. It is still lost in the mix even if I bring down all volumes on all tracks. HELP!

Thanks,

Art
 
Let me get this straight. Are you recording a vocal track and sending it to be recorded onto 3 different tracks?

If so, the only thing I can think of that would cause what you're describing would be some kind of comb filtering or phasing that has tracks cancelling each other out.

But if that is what you're doing, then it begs the question, "why?".
Recording the same source onto more than one track accomplishes absolutely nothing other than wasting tracks. If that's not what you're trying to do, then disregard this post. :D
 
My question would be, is the vocal recorded a a "hot" enough level in the first place. I have made the mistake of having the monitoring levels up too loud and as such have not recorded at a decent level, so on playback something gets lost.

Right. Well, how am I supposed to know how hot your vocals are recorded. I'm not psychic. But, as a general rule, there's no such things as not recording hot enough. You don't need to be peaking anywhere over -10db. Nothing gets lost.

But, now MY question is, are you really wasting all those tracks sending the same signal to more than one track?

LOL Rami - for clarity I am not the original poster - I was merely suggesting another reason for why the vocals may not be getting through on the mix. :)

I agree with you - why would you send one vocal to 3 tracks? Especially in a digital domain where you can just copy a track if that was your desire.

Perhaps the original poster will answer your question - and maybe mine too.....

Aw man. Sorry about that. I thought I was still talking to the OP. That's funny. :D

Yeah, hopefully the OP will come back and shed some light on this.
