Hi there,
I have Cubase 5 and wonder what I am doing wrong as my vocal recordings are low in volume and I have to use the audio menu gain to bring them up in Cubase 5?
I have a fast track pro, and use a shure dynamic mic, one of the cheaper models, I am sure its not the mic.
I make sure that there is no clipping on the fast track and also check in the stereo in, in the mixer in Cubase as sometimes there is clipping there, so I lower the fader.
When I record a vocal track even the wave form in the tracks appears with a low amplitude. As I said above I then have to go into the audio menu in Cubase 5 and use the AUDIO/process/gain to bring it up to a useable standard, usually increasing by 4db each time in the dialog and then testing the overall volume. I usually have to do this 4db gain change three times before I reach the desired volume that I require.
Just wondering what am I doing wrong here? Should I just ignore the clipping in the stereo in on the Cubase mixer and bring the fader all the way up, so that I get a decent volume first time around without having to use the gain in the audio menu?
Many thanks for any help.
Joe
