I have a little problem when recording.
Im using a PreSonus HP4 from my soundcard to headphones.
We record onto beats already mixed down to a single track. The music tracks level is set to 0db. When tracking I always have to turn the headphone amp up to hear the vocals from the mic to through the cans, but when I do the music track is always too loud on the ears.
So I usually end up bringing the music track down 6db or so, which is a good balance in the headphones when tracking but its usually a nightmare when mixing.
Is there any way to fix this...?
I tried recording the vocals a little louder when recording (without distorting) but vocals levels have to be brought down to -16 db or so to fit in with the music track. Theres still no distortion this way, its just harder to mix.
