How to get good audio levels when recording?
Travis Burke Asked: How to get good audio levels when recording?
Im new to recording and am trying to figure it all out. I want to record my songs but cant seem to get a loud enough siginal when recording. The volume is very weak and when my speaker volume is up full for editing the track it is still pretty quiet compared to a professional bands song or even other garage bands just starting out that I know of who have their recordings up on myspace or whatever. What am i missing?Any gear advice to buy that would help would be great. Right now my home studio contains….
– marshall jcm 2000 dsl 100/peavey 400 series bass amp/pearl drums/vocals
Into..
-a shure sm57/mxl 4000/various drum mics(i do have my phantom power hooked up for my mxl mic)
Into
-a art pro mpa 2 mic preamp
