Hi Guys/Girls
I've been recoding with my Rode NT2 for a while but recently, I decided to dust off my Peavey Low-Z dynamic as I thought it might sound good to use for contrasting VB's with the main vox.
I plugged it into my sound interfaces breakout box (an ESI Wami Rack 192L), turned off the phantom power and fired up my DAW (Cakewalk Sonar X1).
Now I can't work out what I'm doing wrong, but when singing/talking into the mic, the level indicator on my WAMI Rack's mixer tops out at 0dB (in the red) and in Sonar, the level indicator also tops out at 0dB (This meter is stereo so the left side is topping out, the right side is hardly moving - and when monitoring it's only coming out of one side - I'm not sure how to switch to mono?).
So I record and when done, the waveform is tiny, topping out at around -18dB.
I've searched all over the net and my Sonar/ESI docs but I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Appreciate any help/suggestions
