I will show you how you can do a great vocal recording with your RME Audio

interface. But before we start please make sure that you subscribe to our

Channel and click also on the notifications button to get all the

future updates on our new RME Audio interfaces and workshops. The setup is

very straightforward. I have connected my microphone with the Babyface Pro via XLR

and I am using the first XLR input of the Babyface Pro. Now let's switch over

to TotalMix FX. As you can see in TotalMix FX my first channel which

represents the XLR inputs is already getting a signal. If this is not the case

there could be several reasons. First if we click on the toolbox icon we can

check if there is enough gain on this channel, so we can check this. So we

increase or decrease the gain. Another reason could be that you are

using a condenser microphone. These microphones need what we call 48 volts

or also phantom power, luckily the Babyface Pro

as many other RME Audio Interfaces do have phantom power. The Babyface Pro has

phantom power on the first two XLR inputs and if I click on the toolbox

icon in TotalMix FX, I have this settings menu for this particular

channel and I can select the 48 volts if I want to and then there should be a

signal if I am using a condenser microphone.

Now all I'm just doing now is I switch over to my DAW of choice which is in

this case Ableton and I select it on this audio channel the first input

channel of the Babyface Pro make sure that you have selected the Babyface Pro

in Ableton and now I can just record myself and as you can see Ableton is

creating a waveform, which means that I am recording myself now into Ableton

Live with the Babyface Pro and my microphone.
