Hey Guys (and Gals),
I record on a Roland VS-840 hard disk recorder. I lay down basic rhythm track, fine, then the lead vocal. After the lead vocal, I record the background vocals, this is where I am having the problem. Whenever I go to mixdown, I kick in the background vocals and the lead vocal increases to an unacceptable level. I can't figure out how to separate the channels, completely. I need the lead to be loud enough to harmonize with, but it mixes in with the track I'm adding. I've read the manual, watched the video, talked to a tech by phone and none helped with this problem. I don't think I am stupid, but I certainly feel that way after spending hours recording just to get an inferior mix! If there is anyone out there who is a genius with this machine and can walk me through the process step-by-step, then God bless you if you are willing to help!

Thank you in advance,
