Microphone volume when recording
I have a Shure SM-58. When I record in pro tools the sound is always very low. Even when I increase the input button on my Mbox 2 to full its quite low. What am I doing wrong?

Re: Microphone volume when recording
How does this compare to other mics on the system with the same sound source and settings?

Re: Microphone volume when recording
Are you using the XLR input or the TRS (Line or DI) input? Silly question, I know, but one of my friends used to connect the mic into TRS input. When connected that way, you have to push the DI button for it to work, which results in very low level. Also when connecting to Line input. Technical reason aside, if you are connecting the mic to the TRS input (looks like a guitar connector) - get a simple XLR to XLR cable and connect it to the XLR input instead, release the DI button and you're set.
If connected to the XLR input already, something else is wrong.. |

Re: Microphone volume when recording
i just hooked up a new Mbox 3 Pro. here is the mic signal chain;
TLM 49 into an Avalon M5 into mic input 3 on the back (XLR) of the Mbox. My vocalist was complaining that he need more of himself in the cans....I brought all the faders down on the mix and brought his all the way up. Still not happy. I increased the signal on the Avaol to the point where i could not give him anymore. SUGGESTIONS PLEASE!!! thanks, Steve |
