Audacity Forum

Hallelujah. I think it was a two fold problem. The mic was slightly angled the wrong way, and the mainline input I thought I had put up was in fact the Main not the Input 1 Mic Level. I am clipping and everything seems to be working. I hope in no way I inconvenienced anyone with my ignorance. I real...

Koz, I think I will try that one idea you just said. Previously, I had not changed the direction I talked to. However where it says "BACK" it is directly facing away from me. I will try and move the mic around and see if that might be the issue. I really am of the opinion now that you said that, tha...

Steve,

That isn't happening. Just as you mentioned I have everything setup like that. I do know for 100% that it isn't the internal mic on the laptop that is being picked up, because when I get closer to the external mic, the audacity software is seeing a spike in the db level.

PGA,

I am using a PreSonus Audiobox USB interface. I think, not 100% sure, but, everyone is speaking about the same thing, even though they don't state the full name.

Steve,

If you are referring to the 48v button (a.k.a phantom power), then yes.
I appreciate that though. Like you said, sometimes, it's the obvious thing being overlooked.

I have checked all the settings that you have, and they are literally identical.

I am ready to through the mic out the window soon. I have been trying to fix this issue for going on a second week.
I can't even record my auditions.

So it seems like I have all the same settings as you, and I still do not see the green levels picked up on the line in Presonus. When I record, I can hear it being picked up through the mic, but as I mentioned previously, it still is not clipping, no matter what I do. Should I remove the drivers for...

Ragnar, The Audio Technica is connected via an SLR cable to the Audiobox, not directly by USB into the computer. As far as this WDM driver, I am not sure. I checked the levels for the Line Input like you have, and they are set to 100. How would I know if this WDM driver is working? Would that be the...

Koz, Something doesn't make sense here. I was having no issues with this in Studio One. When I had the Main Input dial set to the top, I was getting clipping. Is there someone that really knows how Audacity interfaces with the PreSonus Audiobox USB? That or is there a better step by step I can be di...

That is exactly the point. My levels are there, just much lower. I am doing this via the interface as I said, and that is turned up to the max. I had spoken with a sound tech, and he was the one that stated I need to go into Windows, and increase the recording volume from there. I had tried that tes...
