Hey Sheila!

Please forgive me for coming over like a butthead...

I s'pose I'm just having a tough w/end, and let other crap influence my retort, so I'm sorry, coz you're very gracious with your responses...

By the way, I thought you're arrangement of the track, which, I trust, you penned yourself, was of an exceptionally high standard, and I can definitely see a shed load of tears being shed at your reunion, for sure!

Mike

Mike, I can't argue with you. I can't see what any of those switches say,
and anyone I have gotten over here to help, hasn't been able to figure it
out either. I used to work with real engineers in a past life and am now
stuck trying to tackle this foreign language as best  I can and completely
on my own. I am not even friends with anyone who does music where I live
here in Kansas City. I do appreciate your suggestions and have saved all
your posts, planning to implement as best I can. I'm also working a day job which does take its toll. Again, thanks, and you're absolutely correct that
I don't even know the basics.

I don't understand why you don't acknowledge any sensible ideas, like, for
instance, my suggestions about the routing of the input signal going thru
your Mackie, & checking to see if there's an actual physical switch to
enable the selection of your mike's input source?

These aren't merely quote suggestions unquote, but seriously logical
ideas...

I mean, you're trying to record stuff, do you actually know any of the
fundamentals 'bout audio recording?

I hope this doesn't sound too harsh, but, man, this is page 1 of the basics
...

Thanks for all your suggestions, everyone. Couldn't get the mic to work
with
the mixing board, so I got the level up in the Motif and used that
instead.
I have rough vocals and a rough mix now and will sleep on it before trying
to do more with it. Here's a link if anyone wants to give it a listen and
offer suggestions. It's very schmaltzy, was asked to write it for a high
school reunion.

Apart from the Mackie not having the relevant channels' input selected to
mike input, if the mixer has buss buttons adjacent to the faders, maybe
one
of these hasn't been selected/de-selected?

I'm working with the Motif and Sonar and have a mic just going in to
an old Mackie mixing board which usually is fine. I've created an audio
track and it is armed and not muted. The mic sounds live enough in my ear
phones, and Motif sounds will record on to this track. However, the vocal
isnt going there isn't recording as far as I can tell, no peak level. Can
anyone tell me what I'm missing? thanks in advance for any suggestions you
may have.
