|
|
When using condenser mics (and onboard phantom power) and using the gain knob, I have a difficult time getting a decent level. There's almost nothing and then I hit a spot and the signal is wayyy too hot. Less and I have to get too close and get proximity issues and still have WAAYY too much headroom then. Any suggestions?
Thanks! _________________ plish

Have you tried playing around with some compression?
It usually sorts this kind of problem out. |

I bought myself a Samson C-Valve pre-amp and it makes ALLL the difference in the world. Now I don't need compression on the vocals, I just dial in the gain, and it's usable with just a wee bit of eq.
Thanks for the response!
