I'm going to record someone singing to tracks via Cakewalk Home Studio
2. Soundbooth & Control room monitoring setup as follows:
Singer's mic & pre going through an Alesis Nanocompressor, to M-Audio
2496 line-in. From there, the mix of the backing track and singer
going from the line-out of the 2496 to the line-in on one side of a
Gemini DJ mixer. My control room monitoring is from the "AMP" output
of the Gemini mixer to the receiver/amp driving my monitors or
headphones off the receiver/amp. The whole thing works great, except
for one nagging issue - the backing track is heard in stereo but the
singer only gets their voice through one side of the headphones.
Probably not the end of the world, but I'd like them to be able to
hear themselves in both ears if possible.
Once recorded the mono tracks plays centered, but is only heard in one
side of the headphones during recording.
I've got a workaround of using the L/mono in of the Nanocomp and
running lines from both L & R of the Nanocomp to the souncard, and
recording separate L & R redundant vocal tracks and just using one of
the tracks when actually mixing. It works but just seems sort of jury-
rigged.
Using the apps & gear I've mentioned, is there some way to make the L-
channel mic input become binaural in the headphone mix? If there's
some kind of "mono mix" for a particular channel in Cakewalk H/S 2, I
haven't found it.
Thanks for all input.
