I need help with Reaper and Audiobox USB
I have two microphones that I use when recording myself. for my vocals I use a Behringer C1 and for my guitar I use an AKG P170. I noticed today that when recording, it sounds like I only am using one microphone. In fact, when I started playing the guitar intro I looked at the levels and both level indicators for input 1 and 2 were moving exactly the same. I then launched Presonus Studio One and used it instead of Reaper to rule out the Audiobox as the cause and lo and behold the levels are different when I am doing the intro part. The levels for the vocal mic was way lower than the levels for the instrument mic, as it should be.
What setting in Reaper needs to be changed so that it behaves the way I think that it should. Keep in mind that I really have no idea what I am doing and I am a complete novice at this, so go slow be very patient with me.

I assume that you want to play and sing at the same time and record vocal to, say, track 1 and guitar to track 2?
If that is correct you would need to create 2 mono tracks and assign input 1 to the first track and input 2 to the second track. From what you said you might be recording the same mic onto 2 tracks. The recording level for each track will be determined by the settings of the gain controls on the Audiobox.

Check the track routing and if it seems like there are no combined routes. Try setting up two new tracks and assign separate routing, if it is still the same try setting up a new session . Here is a quick video about track routing in Reaper

I the track window does it have a drop down to select source ? I have Reaper but have not fired it up in a while in Reason which I use I start a second track they'll both work off of a stereo mode using both tracks . In the track or where ever you track input selections are look and see how the tracks are selected . So in track one select input 1 for track two select input 2 .
Under audio settings make sure all channels are checked I have 4 I had to change mine because it had channel 1&2 checked not 3&4 Lastly your stereo /mono selector on the interface but if it worked in Studio 1 then most likely just setting on Reaper you should get fixed soon . I'll look into mine see what she does and post back . Ok just checked it out if this is the issue its in the record disable window in the track select input . Sorry Paulp I read but got side track missed a line Guess we ask what your interface is or was that covered already . Last edited by Riakstonic; 10-21-2015 at 06:01 PM. |
