I typically have not had a problem with Software. However, i have seen that happen with hardware. Its best not to have other applications running while recording. Check to make sure your computer meets the minimum requirements.My best work comes from using recording devices that are designed for recording. I use a multi track recorder with a hard drive, then transfer the files to my computer and the load the tracks into Acoustica. I get better performance that way. Most basic PC's/Laptops unless they are specifically designed for recording media, lack the processors and other hardware to get the maximum performance.

I've had this problem before, too. Usually it means I need to adjust my alcohol intake.

Sometimes slow hard drive access times can cause stuttering in recording or playback. If increasing the buffer or latency settings in the sound device preferences (File Menu &gt; Preferences &gt; Sound Device) doesn't help, and you have Mixcraft 6 or higher, try this: 1) In Mixcraft, click on the File menu and select Preferences. 2) Choose the Recording preferences. 3) Try switching the Recording File Type setting from "Uncompressed Wave File" to "Compressed Ogg Vorbis File." 4) Now record something and see if the problem is gone. Good Luck!

I haven't tried setting up a mic with Mixcraft 6 myself, but here's a link to a YouTube video about setting up a mic. I don't know if it will help. Sorry if it doesn't. Good luck! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFT6oi2T-dQ

Check in the MixControl utility that you installed with the drivers and make sure that the channel your mic is plugged into isn't muted. If it is not, my guess is that it is an issue with the setup on your recording software. Depending on the program you are using, there should be an option in the audio preferences to hear your input signal.

Sorry to hear that I did not have that problem with mine, try and see if you can clean the microphone with a little bit of alcohol

Not sure if that's a question or statement... Anyway, two things I've noticed using this device for a long time now. You must use the USB cable that came with it (or one IDENTICAL to it). I've used cables that fit and get terrible results. Second, check that your microphone cable and microphone are in working order. Hope this helps.

This is simply a mixer..Not an EQ. This means you can have 3 different mics plug into the 3-1 and adjust the blend to your input (Usually a camera) It requires no batteries. Simply a pass through. To get a Deep bass "rumble" that all is dependent on the mic you buy. You want a mic that pics up the low 400's Hertz. OR you can also try to pull it out via an EQ in editing, in your audio studio. Raise the lower Hertz's in the Eq to start.

Gee I'm not too sure. Maybe you could contact MorphVOX via and talk to customer service and see if they have any suggestions on how to add sound effects to your recordings. Sorry I wasn't much help.

Dear Lee Rand Hi.., Snowball Microphone has not adjustable or Mute button, so you should adjust it by windows software during recording process.

Maybe what you need is a mixer to balance the volume of all the different mics and then record from the mixer. Sorry I can't help you further!

What does audio input mixing unit do in this case? Is it for resolving the time lag?Would something cheaper like this Behringer MX400 4-Channel Mixer do the trick too?Thank you!

I believe the problem to this is that your microphone is transmitting with auto-adjust. This means if you are to loud it turns down the voice and if your to quiet it turns it up. Somewhere in recording devices you can turn it off.

i found the best setup is--from your interface(the box that comes with your recording software) into a TUBE preamp(arc, prosonus) then into a compressor(this is essential for controlling the input/volume so you do not peak while recording) of your choice(i use one called "a really nice compressor" from the u.s of a) then into your lovely mic and away you go. ps. make sure you use the instrument input on your interface, from the pre-amp

Same as others said I use for Karaoke using Hall 1. I also find that there is more then enough echo and it is relative to both the Effect Return knob and the Effect knob for the mic in question. there is also a button to turn effects on and a LED to show it is on. I use Roxbox from a PC, Sound Choice, Shure wireless SM58/SM58 Beta and 15" Club speakers. This is a great system for small club/bar settings and I am able to get exceptional sound for any voice.

As far as I know, if your song is mixed down and you have created a master file, all you do is press the "mixdown/master button and you are ready to go - if you have a problem, return the unit. I have no issues with this at all.. Good luck

EDIT: The end of the first sentence should read windows 7 64 bit. Also, if you are concerned with using 2 DAWs, what I do is record vocals in cubase, save the recordings as 24 bit / 48 kHz WAV files, and then import the WAVs into mixcraft for editing, applying effects, mixing and mastering with my other tracks.

I have the outputs from the line 6 running through my mixer. I record from there. Hope that helps.

I actually have not noticed a "lag" when using the mic as a listening device. One reason may be that I am using the headphone line-in on the mic and do not hear except through them. This is the only way to get a "clean" recording. Otherwise, the mic will pick up the ambient sound from your external speakers. However, there doesn't seem to be anything noticeable in the recordings.

I have no problem with vocals. Do you have the equalizer on? I have it off.
