I have a problem. I have my vocal mic going into my board and then the computer. But when going into the board Im peaking at times and Im forced to lower the level alot. Should I add a compressor on the vocals before going into the computer?

How’s calibrated input of A/D stage? Did you check the spec (preamp out - AD in)?

Well Im going right into the makie board that has its own phantom power and pre amp. So I guess Im going to have to turn that gain up.

With the little practice, you will find out the right preamp gain setting for the song.

What are you using as ADDA converter/card?

Yup a card. M-Audio Delta 66
