Hello:
My setup:
E835->Yamaha 10/2->Delta 44->Audacity (or whatever)
Now I've done some testing (note the word some not extensive) and so far the best result was for me to record two vocal tracks at the same time with one panned right and the other left.
Then I eq'd my vocals between the 2-3K range 1.7dB and the mixedown music -1.7dB in the same range.
The mic is approximately 12" at chin level at 0degrees (pointing towards my chin), with a home made pop shield. The mic line is -34dB Gain & 10 Level by passing the Mixers EQ, the output to the 1/2 Delta in is 10 Level.
The Problem:
The music that I'm adding is already mixed down (not by me) and I have no control of how it was done. When the vocals (mine in particular) get mixed with the music, get washed out or covered. My voice tends to compund the problem (I sound like Ray Romano supposedly). Aside from bringing down the music some, and brining up my vocals and what I've already mentioned I'm doing. Does anyone have any suggestions?
By the way I want to get the best sound, and the most clear sound before I have to do any extensive EQ. I guess I'm going for purity. In addition, this is no music it's a guided meditation tape and my wife wants me to use my voice (I think her voice is much better), so someone else is not an option.
On a side note - I'm suppose to be getting a MXL V67G in a couple of day and it may solve the problem.
