Greetings, I'm making some progress but still experimenting. Having trouble with "low audio" levels- left: ovation into a fender superchorus amp, an SM57 6" away into track 1(pan all the way left) right: my D-28 acoustic into SM57 into PA, antother SM57 into tascam414 track 2(pan right). Using a bright acoustic and a flat chorusey ovation sounds incredible thru the headphones; but when I mix-down into my sony dual-cassette and play it, the audio level is way down.
If I turn up the input level on acoustic track 2 it distorts. A decent condenser mic would probably help acoustic(suggestions?)but I think its my tracking or mixdown levels. When we record the band (both SM57s across room into track 1/2) the levels are fine. Oh I'm about ready to try an mp3 (or wav?) but I want the analog levels right first. rsvp
