When I am recording (singing) the initial recording is strong then after half a second fades considerably almost like it is being clipped in some way. This phenomena has only just started and I have tried two separate mics to cure it. Is there somewhere that levels / times are set ?

Thanks Koz.

I decided to try a different route and plugged a mic into the front port of my computer and selected that as the input source instead of the Logitech cam mic. That seems to have worked fine so your idea on automatic suppression was correct.

Thanks again.

Hi, thanks for the contact. I am trying to record myself singing. I use a pitch device to set the pitch. After blowing that pitch for about 1 second the screen response goes down and on playback the sound diminishes a lot. If I sing after the pitch has been blown then the sound level is high again f...

If I make a sound then the display shows a certain level. After 1 second this level is cut by 80% and only comes back after a period of silence. Is there a timer or other function that can be increased to avoid this.
