Hey all,
So I've finally got all this recording gear together, and I plugged some headphones into my interface to test out the sound and it was just stupidly quiet! Even when I maxed out the volumes for everything I could just hear it.. Is this normal? I always assumed I'd be able to hear everything clearly over the sound of the kit. My headphones do cut out a fair bit of noise too.
My equipment is:
The TASCAM US-1800 as my audio interface,
MICS:
Audix i-5 on the snare
2 PG81's as overheads
3 PG56's on the toms
and a PG52 on the kick
I've just put them into the inputs 1:snare, 2:kick 3&4 overheads and 4, 5, 6: toms.
I also have no idea how to use phantom power yet, I feel like I'm on a massive learning curve, if someone could point me towards a nice guide for all this I'd be very grateful.
