I'd say it's more specifically about checking on bandwidth limited speakers, lacking in lows and/or highs. There are things you can do to give sources like kick drum or bass guitar some presence on smaller speakers. Using speakers with more serious deficiencies (bad resonances, crossover...

I just recorded this last week. Rough mix.

I don't have any kind of quick fix, but I'll get the conversation started. First, ASIOFORALL is not actually ASIO, it's a way of making Windows drivers faster, or something like that. I can't tell if you're using just one or switching between them. Second, I don't see any specific hardware...

I suggest getting something with a little more capacity than you think you need. An extra input or two won't make it that much bigger. There are lots of options from Mackie, Yamaha, Behringer etc.

A mixer is what you need. You can combine any number of inputs to the speaker using a mixer with enough channels. That will let you balance the volumes and adjust the individual tones as well.

I might cut out a spot here and there for special treatment, but normally I try to avoid over-editing things.

Maybe a volume pedal and control it manually (or is that pedally?).

The "definition" region of the vocal is 2-6 kHz. If the instrument is competing in that range, it will make it hard to understand the lyrics. A little cut in the guitar and/or a little boost in the vocal there can let the words come through. Dynamically, if the vocal varies a lot in volume, it...

A source that is the same in both channels is in the center of the image. To make the separate, you have to make them different in left and right. For rock, that generally means double tracking (recording it twice). For acoustic guitar, you could try two mics (typically one at the 12th fret and...

Yes, if you record through the combo inputs, they will appear as separate files. They will be separate mono tracks while the mic gets recorded onto a single stereo track. There's an accessory that replaces mic module. It has a pair of XLR inputs so you can have four independent mics.

The XLR/TRS connectors are inputs, not outputs. I believe there's a 3.5mm (1/8") line output in addition to the headphone output. The correct adapter will get that to a powered speaker (2 would be better).

Well, if the TRS are all parallel with the XLR, there are enough pins.

I have a Zoom H5 and I find the recording level meter more than precise enough. Maybe there's something with your process that could be adjusted. It sounds like you're currently recording the whole band into the stereo mics. That can be done, but it will take experimentation with positioning the...

When I find that there's no "right" level for the bass (as an instrument or the general lower range of the bass guitar or kick drum), I find that there's often a narrow offending frequency peaking above the rest.

I think there is often some narrow range in the bass that mucks things up, but the particular center frequency varies depending on the source in question. I often find I have to dig around between 50 and 150Hz on the bass guitar to find the culprit.

I know you know, but it all depends on good monitoring.

What about a lapel mic? Where I work we have several of the ones in the attached photo.

You may also have to select the correct input on the track itself, and arm the track.

I don't know that software, but it's common to have to select your audio driver and/or hardware in the recording software's options menu. It may have defaulted to the computer's internal audio device.
