Hi,
I have a Shur SM57 and I use Audacity as my wave editor. The mic connects to my desk-top PC via a Tascam US200.
I play tenor trombone. I can use Audacity to equalize my finished solo track so that it sounds pretty much the way I do live.
My background tracks are pre-recorded wave files. After I add my solo track, and do some editing, I mix everything down to an mp3 file.
However, when I listen to the recording, my solo track sounds rather distant, even though the gain is good. It lacks the same kind of "presence" that the pre-recorded background tracks have.
Could it be that I need a Cloudlifter CL-Z to put that mic on steroids, so to speak?
I have been working with my set-up for months now - constantly changing the environment, thinking that is the problem. But it isn't. No matter how I set my little home recording studio up, the result is always pretty much the same.
Thanks for any/all suggestions,
Tim
