    first time tracking- problems... help!

    well here's what I've done, so you can tell me what's wrong. I go to device setup and click on VST Audio System and select Audiobox USB (2) for the ASIO Drive. The audio buffer size is set to 192 samples. Input Latency is read at 10.975 and output latency is the same. (I'm pretty sure this...

    I tried tracking some guitar for the first time but there were some problems. First before I even setup an audio track, I could hear everything the microphone was picking up, so how do I get rid of that? The only time I should hear what the mic is picking up is during recording when I arm the...

    help with first recording

    how do you get these db readings? cause all I see is a meter with no readings so if i knew where to look that would be helpful for me. The best way to describe the level of my playback is it seems like I was playing guitar really far away from the mic even though I was only a few inches. I...

    first recording done- few questions

    I'm not comparing it to commercial volumes but comparing it to my experience using garageband, playback was as loud as I wanted it. The volume of the guitar was so low it was like I was playing really far away from the mic. Yes definitely turned the volume on my headphones up, the volume did...

    first recording done- few questions

    I still don't get why the playback was so low, when the meter was reading it fairly high. I'm recording acoustic guitar, so I thought a dynamic mic would be better for this no?

    I'm using a computer (macbook) with an audiobox usb interface, recording with cubase. i used a mxl 991 dynamic mic When I played back what I recorded, the volume was really really low. I expected it to be at whatever level I wanted it to be and I could not get it very loud at all. Does that...

    first recording done- few questions

    I'm not sure the exact level (although if you could please tell me how to know, that would be greatly appreciated) but when I was testing the volume of the instrument, I let it go as high as it could on the meter without clipping.

    help with first recording

    just did my first recording. I put my dynamic mic in front of the soundhole of my acoustic pointing towards the 12th fret- checked the volumes to make sure I wasn't clipping. Hit record and played a few chords for about a minute. For playback, I plugged a pair of headphones into the back of my...
