  1. David, I understand that providing Text is important for making the website crawlable, but it is incredibly difficult to describe my issue without showing anyone audibly because it is related to me being able to hear myself in a specific manner. So I can provide a transcript of the video in addition with the link again, but I insisted that the video is important. Does that sound fair?
  2. I think ideally that makes a lot more sense but the issue still remains that even if I use the direct monitor on my audio interface I need to turn up the interfaces volume a significant amount. I guess it doesn’t really matter in the end though as long as I can hear myself. Now in a previous post a user was talking about Sending pre-fader audio to a vocal recording track. Is there a way to send pre-fader audio while still being able to turn down the master DAW volume or should I bus out all my instrument tracks and use that bus to turn all my instruments down when I need to record myself?
  3. So this is okay? [video removed by admin]
  4. I posted here /viewtopic.php?f=1&t=161396&p=847471#p847471 a while ago facing some issues with hearing myself but it seemed it was hard to receive feedback based on the video I provided last time. I will fully take into account @fuzzfilth's advice on that post if there's nothing else to be gained from talking about setting appropriate recording levels. Here's the easy-to-follow video:
  5. I get you. That makes sense. I just don't want to accidentally damage my ears by doing something like pressing option + click on a fader that sets it to unity while my volume knob for listening playback on my focusrite is cranked all the way up.
  6. Let's start at what's normal. Do you have to crank your volume knob all the way up and turn the faders on your other instruments all the way down? I realize that a fader set to unity doesn't mean instruments will play back at 0dB. I'm just not convinced that it's appropriate to need to turn my instrument fader down -30db just to hear my vocals at unity as I record and then gain boost them several dB just to hear myself in playback alongside instruments. Am I supposed to slap a gain plugin on my stereo output channel with a limiter set to -0.1 just to achieve an appropriate level of loudness?
  7. I'll try again with a video that explains the situation better. i don't think it's useful to just post up screenshots. I want you to hear what I'm hearing as much as possible.
  8. AUDIO INTERFACE: Focusrite 2i2 MICROPHONE: condensor mic Tonor Unfortunately I have been having to crank the volume knob on my audio interface all the way up and turning my instrumentals all the way just to hear myself while recording vocal takes. I followed the checklist that user Fuzzfilth provided in that thread. I still can't hear myself. I'm hoping this video demonstrates what I need to do and what it's like for me. I have also used two different condensor mics, so the problem isn't the mics, nor hardware, but the the program. [video removed by user]
  9. Here's what I'm talking about with that arpeggiated ambient chord sound (with time stamp): WARNING: The work on mnie sounds EDM.However, there's something missing from the energy, or not all the instruments sound like they really hype each other up...like it feels a little plastic and weak if you will. Not necessarily talking about EDM energy either since we're talking Reggaeton. ^'deep harmonic waves' low pass filter preset in alchemy on LPX right now but I'm trying to find something similar. Sounds too distant, plus the fact it's not even close to the same type of instrument in Yonaguni.I think there might also be a problem with the tonal quality of the bass too.
  10. I had to gain my audio by +7dbs. I guess that's not a super huge deal though. If I can get time to get a screen recording of what's going on I will do just that.
  11. To solve the issue I have to turn all instruments way down, then bring them back up after my recording session. I always record unity. After recording I have to gain boost the heck out of the audio.
  12. by the way, if I record audio using my audio interface straight to an app like quicktime, the audio comes out great. Full signal, full volume. Do that in Logic, and no cigar.
  13. I'm also having the very same issue. I don't think it's a matter of having the same computer. For whatever reason, when launching Logic for the very first time, about a year and a half ago, I remember not needing to enable software monitoring. I could hear myself using my macbook's built in mic and a pair of external headphones. Recording was good and playback was solid. Then I remember relaunching my Logic session and panicking over not being able to hear myself. I remember eventually finding out about software monitoring but it's less than ideal. Now, I can hear myself fairly well since I've been using an audio interface to plug in, but the volume of the signal doesn't match its strength on the dbFS indicator. I need to add slapback delay just to hear myself when recording vocal takes. I can't even adjust delay to taste. I have to rely on it for my vocal to cut through AND sit in the mix.
