Hi Everyone,
I have an issue that I would really appreciate some help with.
For some reason my sound input isn't picking up at all, sure I can play with it through Normalisation but i much prefer to do that at the end once i'm happy with the raw vocals.
My current set up is:
A 5 year old Shure PG48
An Alesis Core 1 Sound Interface
Standard XLR cable
2009 iMac with El Capitan
Audacity 2.1.2 via .DMG installer
GarageBand
Pro Tools First
I previously used a Line 6 UX1 audio interface and never had any issues with sound input before it broke last year, I've only just decided to start recording again so a lot of this (except for the Core 1) has been in my storage cupboard for around 12 months give or take.
There's definitely Audio input being registered as I can normalize the vocals (at what i feel is a loss of quality), The input nob on the Core 1 is on max as well (Click here for Interface settings)
If I record through my built-in mic it picks up sound far better (Click here for comparison image), but having previously purchased a test microphone (£20 from Halfords) nothing changed in how much audio was being recorded, I've also got 2 XLR cables both of which produce the exact same output so I'm unsure as to what the issue could be.
I'm a complete novice with terminology, so if anybody does have any suggestions would you mind posting a step by step on how to carry out the process.
Is it likely to be an issue with the Core 1? Or perhaps some software settings within the IOS or Audacity?
