Engineer help on Cubase SX3 - playback signal is weak

Paul762 · 7th November 2007, 11:15 PM

hello my name is Paul Naegle aka "King's Army".

in Chandler, Arizona.

My situation i need help with troubleshooting is:

I recorded my vocals into a mono track and stereo track and they monitored very strong in signal strength on the VU. now when i goto play the vocals track back it's very weak on loudness/volume.

Simply all gain settings and channel faders in my Software or Mixer hardware are always set to optimal O unity ... to dig a bit of red then back off as normal with eq's or the gain. Whats the problem here?

i did not have compressor on it while recording... it was plain and simple for this recording. Although as an extra * does any suggest using compressors on vocals during recording , should i use the Gate on it as well to cut on any sounds after any littel vocal bits.?

thanks so much,

Paul

paul.
what sound device are you useing for playback. ??
need more details .
if your on windows n useing on board sound.
chek in windows that the "wave out" fader is not set too low.
if useing another sound device, chek its user control panel.
as i said more details on your set up are needed.
