How do i get levels from my g track mic im using cubase le 5 i only get one side level how do i fix this issue?

You must adjust the record level from the input device - i.e. mixer or soundcard. There is no input level control within Cubase. It is often the case, however that the problem lies with the backing track being too loud.

Make sure the switch is set to "mic/line" and not "guitar"
Your input level will be set by the "input L" or "input R" knob, depending on which side you are using. Start with them all the way down and then sing into the mic, turning them up until you get a signal about halfway up the bar in Cubase. That should give you plenty of headroom for clean vocals.
It may be difficult to get a good sound if you have one of those cheap mics that has a "1/4" jack instead of a 3-pin XLR jack. You might want to go to your local music/pro audio store and invest in a "condenser" microphone, which is good for vocals in the studio.

Sorry, but the Lexicon Alpha does NOT have Phantom power and you can't use a condenser mic with it without a Phantom power injector or preamp.
If you mean you have a Phantom power injector then it should be working. Do you have seperate mics for the two channels of the stereo? If you have only one mic, then only one side will record unless you set for mono recording and then dump the recording into stereo voa Cubase. I would recommend you get a small mixer... even a 4 channel one to use ahead of the Lexicon so you can mix and PAN your mics the way you want them. The recording and trying to control the panning in Cubase can be frustrating... The Lexicon really doesn't have anything built in to PAN the mic to the center when stereo recording. Small mixers are inexpensive and often you can find them used or in pawn shops for cheap.

Depending on the DAW software, you can record just his track at that time. Mixing can be done later with multi-track software, such as Cubase or ProTools.

There should be an extra device in the volume controls under your OS's control panel. That extra device will be your USB mic. Select this device for recording. Monitor the input recording levels BEFORE actually recording to check for clipping. When you are adjusted correctly, you should have plenty of volume, and no clipping. From there, you can modify that waveform like any other track.

Hope that helps!

Btw, I’m available to help over the phone in case u need at https://www.6ya.com/expert/cameron_463100ffd54b591d

cubase le is a learning series. you can try in cubase sx or nuendo for good result.

Make sure phantom power is enabled on the Tascam audio interface and you must enable the input in cubase that corresponds with the interface input on the track you are trying to record to.

the settings in the cubase le - devices - device setup are not set properly or the driver has been removed from the computer.

Id suggest you remove both the cubase le and the hardware device you use with it, then reinstall the cubase and your device. you may need to set the setting again in the device setup and it should work fine.

Some (very) basics with any live audio recording:

• Have a very very quiet space in which to record, with good acoustics (this means a room that will give a flat sound, preferably one with carpeted walls and celings, but any small, well-furnitured room should do).
• Do not mix with the interface. Simply put the gain as high as possible without clipping and mix later in your recording program (Cubase, in your case). You can always bring the level down, but trying to gain an already recorded track will introduce noise.
• If you are recording vocals, use a pop filter. When recording anything, experiment with different mic positions to attain the best possible, clean sound.

Hey lea,

i have a similar setup (Cubase LE & Tascam 144) and each time i start up Cubase i have to make sure there is no digital input going to the tascam. once cubase is started up but no project loaded i plug in my spdif from my DAT machine and then open my project and all is fine. does that answer part of your question?

i have a different problem though, i'm trying to record my DAT tapes which are recorded at 32khz and cubase doesn't recognize that sample rate properly. it'll record no problem, and play them back fine, but exporting always creates mismatched sample rates in the exported file. sucks big time and i have got no idea on how to fix it either.

I hate to attempt to offer any suggestions for a person using CUBASE LE, since I am not a very successful user, myself. However, I may have a suggestion for you. First, the level sliders in CUBASE are not automatic (unless there is some setting I'm unaware of).

Are you attempting to change the volume of a track that is on your timeline? If so, I don't believe the sliders effect that. Instead, levels are changed by a "rubberband" method.

On your existing track, (the one you wish to modify volume on) you will notice a small + in the lower left hand corner, near the edge of your screen. If you click on that, the track is enlarged, and you will see another version of your audio track with a black line drawn horizontally through it. That line may be dragged up or down to increase or decrease volume.

Right now, my system is not working, so I can't quite remember the procedure, but you can place points on that black line to adjust volume up and down for select portions of your track, and not the entire track.

I think that's done by first clicking on the "R" associated with that track. Then, your cursor becomes capable of placing points, and you can adjust volume between the placed points.

I hope this helps. Best of luck.
