most volume out of a mic?

Post by [email protected] » Mon Jan 10, 2011 3:20 am

does anyone have any good tips in ableton to get the most volume out of a mic?

i'm playing guitar on a mic and the guitar is a bit low.. is there anything to heighten this without distorting it too much?

please let me know.


also i want to know if there is a way to bring the levels on the guitar up... and still being able to clip the master before it goes red.


thank you guys!

Regarding bringing up the volume of the guitar through the mic, try increasing the volume of the mic preamp.

For preventing clipping, try the Limiter - it's there to specifically prevent any signal from passing its threshold.
