I am using an SP C1, into a VTB-1, into my Q10
When recording my vocals, i seem to peak very easily
I have tried to correct this by turning the gain down on both the pre and the q10
when i do this, my level becomes too low to hear through the headphones. turning my headphones up just brings my track up extremely loud
Turning my track down will allow me to hear, but when i try to bring everything back up, my vocals are too low in the mix. bring them up only peaks them
I am somewhat of a newjack to this
i do try to get everything as hot as possible going in. just cant seem to get the vocals right
are there any suggestions anyone might have?
much respect
peace
by the way the music i do is hip hop
