Background noise on vocal track

Got an Asus X53S Laptop, Behringer UCA200 and a Phonic AM120 MKII mixer. Cant get it hooked up so that I can record vocals and instruments thru the mixer onto the laptop. I've tried using Audacity, Magix Music Studio and Adobe Audition 3.0 Got my sound out of the laptop onto a channel on the mixer. Got the input on the UCA 200 hooked into the 2T RTN on the mixer. Tried hooking the mic-jack on the laptop to the output on the UCA200, but nothing. Tried hooking the mic jack on the laptop into the 2T REC on the mixer. Nothing happens... I'm going nuts... Hope you can help.

    My mic is hooked to track 1 on the mixer. The UCA200 is connected to the laptop thru usb. And UCA200 is also connected to the 2T RTN socket on the mixer using RCA. I've tried hooking the mic jack on the laptop into the UCA200 and also into the 2T REC socket on the mixer with no luck. I can record my vocal, but whenever I wanna record in multitrack (having music playing on other tracks while recording my vocals at the same time) the music is also recorded to my vocaltrack... Does this make any sense to you? :)

There is no doubt that sound on PCs and laptops can be a pain, and I have had to run a mixer output through the mic socket before now, such is the insensitivity of the PC's inputs. But you have done this, which implies that the mic input is not being connected to the sound system. You should have some controls of the way the sound is connected - try the Control Panel (assuming you have Windows) and opening up the sound applet. You won't get anything through Audacity etc., until the system is delivering. Sorry I can't be more specific.

SOURCE: How to connect mixer an amp to laptop?

How is everything hooked up?

Mic to Mixer, and Mixer to Laptop? Or is your mic connected directly to your laptop?

To do this properly, you will need a secondary audio input device of some kind that accepts line level input. Microphone inputs are intended for low level signals, and are not going to accept the input form a mixer properly. (you can get it to work, but it will generally be distorted)

There are various USB or PCMCIA audio input card options that aren't too expensive. Once you have that, you would need to route your music and microphone through your mixer, and the output of the mixer to your audio input device.

Behringer EUROPOWER PMP5000. using vocals with effects it produced what I call white noise. shut it down, and it worked fine, later it did it again. I turned down all effects and it was fine.

Hello Doug, obviously for what you are saying, you would have a problem in the effects processor of your Behringer, I suggest you use an external processor to corroborate that the problem is not in the shipping bar, or in the allocation of returns
If you have technical knowledge, disarm the mixer and control the internal connections of the effects processor, see if there are no loose solders
I sent you the link to download the circuits of your PMP5000
If you do not find the origin of the fault, look for a specialized technical service
I hope you can solve the problem
Greetings Franco Dosil

Hola Doug, evidentemente por lo que comentas, tendr?as un problema en el procesador de efectos de tu Behringer, te sugiero que utilices un procesador externo para corroborar que el problema no esta en la barra de env?os, ni en la asignaci?n de retornos
Si tienes conocimientos t?cnicos, desarma el mixer y controla las conexiones internad del procesador de efectos, observa si no tiene soldaduras flojas
Te env?o el link para descargar los circuitos de tu PMP5000
Sino encuentras el origen de la falla, busca un servicio t?cnico especializado
Espero puedas resolver el problema
Saludos Franco Dosil

How can I reduce white noise / hissing I'm getting over the mic on a Behringer Xenyx 1204 USB setup?

Hi, you didn't say if the mic actually passes sound? The C-1 is a condenser Mic & needs phantom power - switch on the rear of your mixer. If that's no help, what happens if you disconnect the mic, then turn the levels back up? Still hissing or gone? If it's gone then it's the Mic - must use a 3 wire cable, preferably XLR so it gets the phantom power. If the hiss is still there without the Mic then sounds like the mixer is faulty - try some of the other channels..... How loau is the hiss - just in the background or as load as a vocal "one, two" test? A few things to check anyway...... Good Luck!

I Purchased behringer c1 u microphone and I want to record my singing with karoke..Problem is that when I connect laptop with speakers my singing volume is coming louder but sound of background music is...

You need a mixer. Connect the microphone to the mixer and also the background music. That way you have separate control of volume for the voice and the music.
The background noise can come from different sources. One of them is from the laptop itself, if the laptop is noisy to begin with.

I've never used PA systems or vocal setups. My band has been looking for a vocal setup and I came across these products. Mixer~...

Hi, the speakers are unpowered, but that desk is also unpowered, so you need an amplifier in the circuit. This can either be in the desk, in the speaker, or a separate device, there are advantages to each.

Adobe Audition 3 Not Sensing Mic

Check the input and output settings. Look in the preferences or settings menu for "i/o settings" or "i/o setup." You're going to set it from the default internal mic input to this one. It sounds like it may be that simple.

XENYX 1222FX Mixer

I've had the same problem. It just is like the tracks mix up with each other. It's pretty irritation when you come to the mixing process. You just can't mix track where the first one for example actually is some song. But you also got some guitar from track 2 on it and the guitar track has got track 3 and 4 on it and so on and so on.
How do you fix that problem
