I'm pretty certain this is some sort of routing problem. I have been learning a solo, and when I played along to it with the song on in my headphones, the music came through loud and clear on the mic but 2 inches away from my guitar amp speaker. There's something wrong with that, no?!
That's no worrys mate, thanks very much for the advice you've offered. The click track's not hurting my ears or anything! It's loud enough so I can still hear the beat above playing the drums, so I'm sure anyone who lays down drum tracks knows how loud that is.
I've had a look through that thread, the guy's got quite a different mixer, mine has many many more buttons! God knows any one of them might solve the problem!
Re: have you checked your metronome settings?
The metronome doesn't work while recording. Something to do with the soundcard. That isn't the problem though!
What are the judges judging the band on? There's no doubt that SCo'M and Enter Sandman are great, recognised tracks, but maybe you'd get by better on something that isn't so "used" on the covers scene, but would still be recognised. Maybe you'd get kudos for doing something a little different...
Re: Click Track
No. Sorry if I confused you on that!
I've been fiddling around with volume levels for a good 30 mins now. Right, let's see if I can explain this, I have 1 gain pot and a fader for each of these:
- 1 Shure SM-57 Overhead
- 1 '57 Kick Mic (at the moment)
- Input from the...
Yeah, headphones & mics go into the mixer (behringer MX2642A), and the mixer goes into the soundcard. Mixer and soundcard are connected by 2 ins/2 outs leads, so 4 leads in all connecting the mixer and soundcard.
No still no luck, this is very very very very irritating! I can't do any recording because of this one stupid problem. I'm getting the same problem now micing a guitar amp with the distortion and volume up, I can't believe the mic is picking up a tiny click! ARGH!!!
(rant over...for now)
Thanks for the advice, but wesdr1 sayin "Also, make sure N-track is not recording the click track onto the drum track" has caught my attention, because it seems that the click noise is just too loud and perfect to be simply coming from the phones. So how would I be recording the click track onto...
Um... I think he's been taking us all for a bit of a ride mate! A carefully constructed joke which looks like it took a bit too much effort...I kinda hope he is being serious for the amount of thought he seems to have put into it!
About the song, it's pretty good I like it, bass seems a bit...
Sorry...I didn't realise buying £70 'phones was being a cheap ass?! Cash is pretty tight considering I've just bought my whole set up, I didn't think I was particularly skimping on the cans either but what do I know?? :confused:
Well I'll experiment around, see if I can solve the problem...
