Thanks TAE. From personal experience that was not on the big stage in pro land I created a mess for myself. Thankfully I just jerked them out of my ears right after the song started (and I realized I was in trouble) and continued with the 'show' such as it was. No one threw any food so it must...
As it turns out, I have an older (not terribly old) lap top that I could attach to a Scarlett 2i2 and this, with a inexpensive set of powered speakers I may have a better setup than I have currently and one that will allow me to record and quickly review. While the TASCAM would do many of the...
Thanks Boulder Sound Guy, Seems either Tascam-type product or the AI product replaces the Mix5, obviously. What I need to do, based on prior knowledge and insight you contributed to regarding an in-ear question I had in another thread today, I need to construct a system that I can easily record...
I know some people can sing wonderfully without, seemingly, any feedback as to the sound being produced prior to it being heard by everyone in the audience. I am not one of those people. My current 'studio' set-up uses a small studio wedge for feedback. Today, again and because of a question...
I have been messing with my original set-up and still wonder what would be better. Bouldersoundguy suggested using a TASCAM product in place of the Mix5 and Zoom. Eventually I will want to bring the tracks into Audacity on my desktop so I was thinking something more direct. Would it make sense...
I believe I understand, mjbphotos, that the gain is set so not to over drive the mic's input. But it seems the gain impact on the Main output meter is also affected by the Channel 1 level position. So it seems both the gain and the Channel 1 level control if you overdrive or not. And this may...
I have a Mackie Mix5 mixer and need some help with understanding and settings - starting with the mic gain. I am using a Shure 58 microphone.
Mackie has a set-up video on setting the gain but it is not clear how the gain works with the line level setting for the Channel 1. Per the video, the...
Thanks to both Rob and Bouldersoundguy. This exchange has been helpful. I may invest in a different recorder if the budget allows. For now, this is all just for fun - sort of like retired guys/gals playing golf and want to get better so they take a lesson or two. They have no designs are fame or...
Thanks Boulder Sound Guy (I am assuming Boulder Colorado?). When you said all-in-one device did you have something in mind that someone like Sweet Water may have?
Thanks Rob. This is something I've be aware of as when I sing 'in the shower' versus in the garage versus the studio of my vocal instructor, they all sound different. Of course it has to do with resonance. But I've never figured out why in my garage I sound so good. :-) Much of this has to do...
I believe my issue has been (don't laugh) is the playback sound quality using whatever speaker is in the Zoom was not good. Duh! I read a real complete webpage article on the H2n and have now decided I was doing some very basic things wrong like device placement versus mode. And after just now...
So a few years ago prior to retiring, I decided to pursue a hidden passion of singing some place other than in the shower or the car. I started taking lessons and quickly learned that recording my voice would be helpful if I wanted to improve. So I bought a Zoom H2n recorder. I knew nothing...
