Help please...I'm rather new to this. We've been trying to record our band live, in my basement and out playing. To do this, I have the following set-up:
- 2 Cardiod mics connected to a Eurorack mixer MX602A, with phantom power for the mics
- connected to a Boss BR-532 Digital Recorder
Problem is that the recording is fairly to largely distorted. I can't tell if it's at the mixer or Boss, as I can't hear through the headphones because of the volume...but I believe it's at the Boss.
I've played with several settings, but on the mixer, I usually have the gain very low (high gets real distorted) and the "level" in the middle. Even with this, the sensitivity settings on the Boss have to be very low, otherwise the lights come on.
The only thing I did to improve it was turn the bass knobs all the way down on the mixer, and that removed most of the distorition (but also the bottom end).
Any ideas? Is it possible the mics are too close to the sound (they're both ceiling mounted, a foot from each other, and 8 feet off the ground over the band).
I appreciate any advice.
