Hi and thanks for your help.
Gear:
Audio Interface: Berhinger U-Phoria UMC204
Microphones: Samson Q2U
I made my 5th & 6th recordings today, so I am very new to this.
I don’t have a studio and recordings are done with guests in an office of some sort, but fortunately not noisy. Thankfully, I can run “Noise Reduction”.
We had a last minute change of venue and I forgot my ATH M40X at home and couldn’t do proper levels before recording. I record mono with me on input #1 and the guest on #2.
When viewing in Audacity, the guest channel is notable louder than mine and I can hear clearly hear it on the headphones. I know this is fixable but not sure how.
#1.) I split the recording in a stereo track to with with the tracks separately.
#2.) This is where I need your help. My channel is a bit too soft and the guest’s too loud.
#3.) I did, during recording, upped my microphone’s level, meaning my channel is not at the same level throughout.
#4.) I did the opposite with the guest … by lowering his level at a stage.
#5.) How do I get the levels of both channels roughly at the same level?
I played around with Amplify certain portions that are loud or soft but cannot get them at the same loudness throughout.
I searched on Youtube for tutorials but cannot seem to find videos that address my question specifically.
I will appreciate it if you can point me in a direction.
Thanks very much.
