Hi, I’m using Cubase 7.5. I have a vocal coming out of the Direct Output of a channel in Behringer Xenyx 2442 mixer.
Even when I turn the input level on the mixer to max, and fader up to max, and the input level of my audio interface (Edirol UA-101) to max, the recorded track volume is too low. I can tell immediately from the waveform. I would like it to be about 3 times higher.
One solution I can think of is to have an amp between the Direct Out and the Input of the audio interface. I will need 4 of these as there are 4 simultaneous vocals. Are there multi-channel amps? I only need it for line, and only need (I think) a small level boost for my purposes.
But, is there a better way?
Is there anything I can adjust in Cubase to boost the level? (I can do Audio processing > Gain but that means having to stop and do this after each recorded phrase. Messy)
Thanks Tacman7. I should have said, for this purpose I need to replay the recording (may be just a short phrase at a time) instantly so that the 4 singers can hear the result of their effort immediately. This is for training/rehearsal. So, I don’t have the luxury of ‘post production’ in this case.
Is this a dynamic or condensor mic?
Are you going into the mic pre of the xenyx (with an XLR cable)?
Are you going from the Xenyx direct out into a line input of the interface
Have you tried going direct into the interface and how is the level then?
