As you troubleshoot things here, take some time to play with not using the channel strip hardware at all, and maybe try some plugins instead (while tracking or after). |

But... you mean still have what problem exactly? I'm counting what may be three of four different problems you seem to be having. Proper channel strip to Mbox signal path/gain staging should allow you to turn down the channel strip preamp gain and see the input level fall below the -10dbFS or whatever you said before that you could not get below. Just start by simplifying what you are doing for now an plugging your Mic directly into the mic input XLR on the Mbox 2 Mini and just play with that for a while and start by trying to track at say ~-20 dbFS. Adjusting you mic technique if needed to get there, or using the input pad on the Mbox. Leave it at that "safe" input level for while as you look at other questions like mix bus overloads, plugin settings etc., output levels and possible earbud issues. Once you have a stable foundation then experiment more. You have to get things working properly and then you can make progress, right now you may well be chasing phantoms. If you now somebody who can help with recording stuff then just having them look over what you are doing (and show them this thread) will likely help you make very quick progress. Having them start by listening to what you think was the main thing here with playback/distortion issues to see if they even agree with that concern. |

Re: Quality Issue
so even if the gain on the mbox in completly down it will still add gain to the recording along with the preamp? since i jus got off work im doin a couple rec right for gain staging. as i rec at my loudest it is currently under -10dbfs and thtas with the drive and gain on my pre amp all the way down. the only thing active on my preamp is the 48v and 80hz buttons. Ive already uploaded a quick snippett to check out the vocals and everything does sound better but i still get a boomy sound in my ts and bs. ima try one more thing and hopefully tht will make a difference so we will see soon.

Re: Quality Issue
Boomy T's and B's(and probably P's) is likely due to no pop shield or you are working too close to the mic. Most engineers start with the singer a good 8-10 inches back. You could also use 2 pop screens(leave an inch or more between them). But also remember that you are singing into a small diaphragm mic, which will often exacerbate the issue(so getting a better mic is still in your future) One trick that MIGHT be worth a try while you save your pennies; take 2 rubber bands and a pencil and strap the pencil to the front of the mic, dead center(hey, this is free and may help, even with a good mic)
