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,
Dr. Lyndon Parker lparker@esc4.com

Lyndon, I'm not familiar with the Roland, but I'm assuming that when you play back your harmony track, the lead vocal is mixed in to it...? If that's the case, then what's happening is your vocal track is being recorded onto your harmony track when it should just be going to the monitor section of the multitracker. Bear in mind here that I've never used that machine, but there must be a switch or button on each channel strip that's labeled "Track 1/Monitor/Off" or something similar. Check the manual and make sure that it's in the "monitor" position (or mode) and it should work out fine. If it doesn't work out, there should be an Email address on the Roland web site where you can send customer support questions. Good luck... ------------------ Shandy Lawson http://www.shandylawson.com [This message has been edited by Shandy (edited 05-14-2001).]

Offhand it sounds like the lead vocal is getting re-recorded on the same track as the background vocal. Is that it? Could be an operating error or it could be a software glitch...
I'm just pulling thoughts out of thin air since I haven't used a VS-840. That's the one that records on a Zip disk?
Anybody out there had this problem??

</font> Pat and Shandy, I think that both of you are correct. I am rerecording the lead vocal track on the background vocal track, and I think it is just a problem rerouting the signal, but how? I have talked to the people at Roland and the tech said that it couldn't be done, but I know that is incorrect. The recorder came with sample songs and all tracks were individual tracks. Yes, also, my machine is the one that saves to a zip drive. If anyone knows the exact buttons to push and the exact switches to switch, please let me know. I will continue to try to find the combination that will send the lead vocal to monitor instead of the track I'm recording on. I really appreciate both of your comments. Any additional help would be much appreciated. Dr. Lyndon Parker lparker@esc4.com
