Hi everyone. First post here. Recently I got a small home studio setup: a condenser mic, 4 channel mixer, pop filter, and a voxguard. The quality is pretty nice compared to how I first started out. Now my problem I've been having involves using my mixer settings along with software, which I'm using audacity.
In audacity, you have your slider options for mic input ranging from 0-1.0, and the same for music output. On my mixer, you have the channel knobs for how much of the mic you want coming in compared to how much of the music input coming in. I've been playing with these so the mic volume is a little higher than the music, but I can't find a good setting. Think about it this way, I have two settings of mic input, 1 on the mixer and 1 in audacity. The same goes for the music input. Now, should I have the sliders in audacity equal to each other and only user the channel knobs to adjust, or should I leave the knobs the same and adjust using the sliders in audacity? Or should I take a different route? Between playing with those 4 settings, and trying to adjust the sensitivity of the mic(gain), I can't get it right. I can't make the voice come over the music the way I want.
If my explanation seems to tricky and confusing, could someone just explain how they use a mixer using the mic channel and input channel with software? Or point me in the right place to read on everything?
Thanks everyone for reading.
