Ok... Well what can I do? I am a newb to this stuff, so I do not know a lot of Audio terms. But I think what you are saying is to lower the volume of the vocals, and the other stuff you said I didnt understand.... Thanks for replying!

Hi everyone, I have a recording sample (mp3) of a friend I've been recording and I also have a screen of the same song in Audition. Can you take a listen to the mp3 and take a look at the Screenshot and tell me what I can do to improve the sound or anything. Everything I've ever recorded is kind...

It sounds good. (Oh Well). How did you get it to sound loud and rich without clipping?

Alright then, well I think I'm all set. Thanks for all your help!

A couple of last questions here... Will the comp/limiter compress all the tracks or just 1? Because I want it to do all the tracks at the same time, is this possible, if so, how would I do it? And last...

Ok, I see... I should probably invest in some monitor speakers. Whats the difference between the ones I got now, and monitor speakers... I mean they look the same. Also, when you say the comp/limiter in Cool (Same as Audition), which settings should I choose? So the final mix should peak at -3dB?

Ok, as far as my speakers. I bought some Labtec speakers, (It included 2 speakers {RCA Left and Right}, and a subwoofer). But I then I wanted something a little bigger and better, so I bought 2 Pioneer CS-R590 speakers, that plug right into the subwoofer. Now when I say too low, I dont mean...

Ummm... Well I bought an M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 soundcard. I have a Behringer UB802 mixer, a Marshall v57M Condenser Mic, and an Autocom 1600 PRO-XL compressor. The soundcard uses its own little application that runs in the system tray to control volume. But I have that configured...

Ok, I think when you say signal chain, you mean how everything is hooked up right? (Sorry, I'm still sort of a newb) Well it's like this, and maybe I have it set up wrong, but check it out: --Input-- From my mic to the mixer (thats where its powered), from the mixer to the compressor, from the...

So on the output on my mixer, I should set it so that when monitoring, it is around -3? Plus, the compressor should keep the dynamic range around that too, right? What exactly do you mean by this?

Hi guys, I have a couple of quick questions, and I hope maybe you have the answers. First, let me tell you my setup: MXL v57, M-Audio 24/96, UB802, Autocom 1600. When I record into Audition, am I always going to go back to the individual vocal track and "Normalize" the volume to 99%, or should...

Oh no, what I meant, is that I wanted them to sort of look like that. I had done that on purpose just to show you a screen. What I am getting now with my compressor, you'll see in the picture attached. I think it looks pretty healthy, or does it?

Those were vocals I had recorded in Adobe Audition. That was just 1 verse, not a whole song. But I guess they sound fine, so I'll leave it be.

Yeah, I kinda noticed. Well alright then... I actually posted when you did, so you probably didn't see my screenshots on the 1st page. But anyways, THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL YOUR HELP!!! I think I should be all set now, hopefully!

Something along the lines of these two... (Sorry about the crappy screens! :o )

Well, the second image you have posted is what I'd like it to look like throughout the whole vocal recording, because all the "tips" or "tops" of the "spike" are around the same height/volume. When I record, some are high and some are low. So how would I record and get like, almost a mix between...

Nevermind about the outputs, I had to push in an "In/Out" button, and as soon as I did that, it was the output I wanted. But my recording is not around the same level like I had wanted it to be (to test it out). Is there anything I missed about how to do that?

There's 1 last thing I dont understand. If I put (for example) the output on the compressor to -10, I am still recording higher levels than that on my computer. Why is that? I thought whatever I set the output on the compressor, that is the volume level I will record on my computer. And as for...

Oh no no, I use an M-Audio Audiophile 24/96 soundcard. So the way you told me should keep the range of the whole recording around the same volume level, right? And if that is so, then I am ready to record again. Well... THANKS FOR EVERYTHING!!!! You've been a BIG help! I appreciate it alot.

:D Well then... I'll forget about the Alesis then. Now if I just wanted to try with the Dynamic Range at or around a certain level (just to test), how would I go about doing that on my compressor?
