Hi all. This is my first post in here, I hope it's in the right place, and thanks
I'm using a Mackie Dl1608 mixer to Yamaha nexo actives.
I've been using it a while and like it, I'm no professional sound engineer but love what I do..
Question. Regardless to where I start on master level gains etc .. after micing kit, amps etc every time I do vocals I can never really get them loud enough in the mix without pushing track fader to nearly max and gain just below feedback..
Decent vocal mics Sm58’s
Everyone I speak to at gigs ect, always provides positive feedback about overall sound but vocals always an issue volume wise..
Could anyone advise on how I could get vocals in the mix with some room to maneuver, volume and clarity wise etc and not pushing all the time
I use presets on master fader of 1608 and tweak as and when required …
Happy to provide any additional info
Thanks again..
