Re: Increase the volume in my heaphones while recording vocals
Some clue what you are doing might help.
How are you monitoring? Hardware/via interface mixer? Or software/via Pro Tools? What interface do you have? What mic? Any separate preamp? Separate headphone amp?
What is the mic preamp gain set to? Are the levels into Pro Tools kinda OK?
-6dB what? dbFS? pre or post-fader meter? What's the peak input dBFS when looking at classic meters in *pre-*fader mode on the input track?--no don't necessarily wind up the preamp gain to that up to make the "volume louder", I just want to start and sure you are somewhere in say the -6 to -18 dbFS range. If you are -6 dBFS pre-fader then do not increase the preamp gain any more. Does playback after you tracked sound OK?
If any of these terms don't make sense... Google or search the PT Reference Guide PDF. (either way you might want to read the section on "Signal Flow by Track Type" in the Pro Tools reference guide and make sure you understand fader, meter, and plugin signal flow/sequence)
