Vocal Recording problem
Hi guys,
I have purchased a small mixer and microphone to record my singing with background music. However I have been struggling to get the equipment work properly without any result. Your helps and advice will be much appreciated.
Here it goes, it's kind of lengthy but I tried to explain my problem as thoroughly as possible.
1.hardware
1)Behringer QX1202USB, Mixer & Audio interface
2)Behringer C-1, condenser microphone
3)LG laptop, i5 processor, 4GB RAM, Windows 7
2.Drivers
1)64 bit USB ASIO driver : BEHRINGER_2902_X64_2.8.40
2)Combined 32/64-bit 3rd party ASIO driver by ASIO4ALL
3.Recording S/W
1)Reaper 64 bit
4.Hardware Setting
1)C-1 to CH1 of the mixer, Headset to ‘Phones’, QX1202 to laptop by USB connection
2)All the knobs are turned down to 0 except the gain and level of CH1(microphone) and the Phones/CTRL RM
3)All the sound settings on my laptop are set to “Behringer USB WDM AUDIO 2.8.40”
5.Problems
I cannot record my voice with the background music and real-time monitoring. Here goes the combination of settings and problems for each case.
Case 1.
Setting
USB/2TR to phones/CTRL Pushed down
USB/2TR to Main mix Not pushed
Problem
Voice signal to mixer and laptop -> OK
Recording -> OK
Voice to headset -> no, only the music came through the headset
Background music on Track #1 -> OK
Case 2.
Setting
USB/2TR to phones/CTRL pushed down
USB/2TR to Main mix pushed down
Problem
Voice signal to mixer and laptop -> No
Recording -> No
Voice to headset -> No
Background music on Track #1 -> OK
Case 3.
Setting
USB/2TR to phones/CTRL Not Pushed
USB/2TR to Main mix pushed down
Problem
Voice signal to mixer and laptop -> No
Recording -> No
Voice to headset -> OK, real-time monitoring was possible
Background music on Track #1 -> No
Case 4.
Setting
USB/2TR to phones/CTRL Not Pushed
USB/2TR to Main mix Not pushed
Problem
Voice signal to mixer and laptop -> ok
Recording -> ok
Voice to headset -> OK, real-time monitoring was possible
Background music on Track #1 -> No
As for case#1, when I clicked on the ‘monitoring’ button on the Reaper I could hear my voice but it had a delay. I changed the ASIO configuration to fast and relaxed but neither of them worked.
How can I record my singing with the background music in real time??
