KGU,

Regarding the vocal, it sounds like the Windows setting for the microphone input might be down.

To check this, right click on the speaker icon (next to the clock) and choose "Recording Devices".

Once the Recording Devices window opens, double click on the Mic input. For me in Vista, there is then a tab called "Levels" that allows me to adjust the mic level.

Also, once a vocal is recorded, it's possible to run it through the audio effect called "Gain Change". That will normalise the volume.

To do this, click on the vocal track, use ctrl+A to select it all, right-click on the track and, from the pop-up menu, select "Audio Effects".

Now select "Gain Change" and, from the dropdown menu, select #3 "Normalize".

That should do the job for you.

Regards,
Noel
