Hi John,
I'd be happy to listen to you on the air and talk you through adjustments.
Some suggestions. Ignore your numbers of 30 and 18 -- they are the wrong
thing to look at. Start with TXEQ -- set the three lowest bands to
maximum cut, take the 4th band down about 6 dB. Leave everything else
set flat (0dB). Now, turn compression all the way down, and adjust your
mic gain so that you see occasional peaks of full power. To get the
right setting, you may need to temporarily increase VOX GAIN. Now, turn
up compression so that on the compression METER, you see peaks of about
10 dB. This is the way you want to run it.
This will get you in the ballpark, and it's time to get some signal
reports. Also, if you're like me, you probably yell louder during the
contest, so be prepared to turn the mic gain down to stay within those
settings.
You will, of course, want to balance the live mic with recordings. The
above assumes that the live mic is on the mic input and the computer is
on the Line Input. That's how I work. So once you're adjusted for the
live mic, you'll want to adjust computer playback to get the same
indications of compression.
There's more to the computer gain adjustment. It's written up here,
following the disucssion of computer sound cards.
