My vocals keep clipping?

My Vocal chain is a Audio-Technica 3035 into a Grace Design 101 into a Yamaha MG10/2 with a Samson C.com16 compressor in the line imput. If I turn my pre-amp down I can't hear my vocals in the headphones when recording. I really not sure how to turn down the incoming volume and still get a strong sound in. Im at the point of either getting a headphone amp or another mixer.

Mixing Vocals overtop of Instrumentals... Help!

Sort-of-quick question...

I've been recording some mixtape cuts for a local rap group...
And basically they take instrumentals off of vinyl, or from mp3 format, and they freestyle over top of it.

I know its not easy to get a great sound off of this since i have no control of the instruments seperately... the instrumental is just in stereo L-R form.

Recording Studio for the Vocalist

Hi. I'm new here and new to setting up a recording studio. I've been spending my time mostly in the big studios in the Bay Area. It would save me so much money to just setup my own studio geared for just tracking vocals. I can track the band there, mix on SSL, master there too. I'd like to track in my own place and maybe do some tuning too. The big studios run HD.

Creating space for VOCALS recorded in booth?

Trying to get a good process down for my current environment. Vocals are good, signal wise, ambience limited to conditions. My booth is my laundry room adjacent to the garage for seperation which is fine. The booth is lined with a comdination of foam, blankets and homemade baffles. Basically a DEAD booth. I've played with mic placements and such and have a very good core vocal.
