Pro Tools has a free version, Pro Tools First, I think.

It may be a neater option. I have not tried it.

Hello Mark and welcome to the Cow Audio Forum.

I honestly have no clue, but let’s see…..of course you may just be trying to reduce the background sound on your tracks, but Google Says…

Since Garageband does not have a real crossfade function (as most DAWs have) within a single track, to produce a crossfade, you can place the second clip on a new track. Then create the end-fade on the first clip with as many automation points as necessary to create the fade shape you want. Then fade in the second clip (on a new track), again using as many points as necessary for the fade-in shape you want. Then slide the second clip forward to create an overlap of the fade-in and the fade out curves. That will create a true crossfade without the clicks at the end and beginning of the individual clips.

For a true crossfade, the second clip must begin before the first clip ends.

Note: The end-fade volume automation reaches “0” before the first clip ends, and the fade-in does not start to rise before the second clip begins.

About raising the level. Headroom may be an issue. It’s better to turn dow the loud tracks until your already turned up is right.

You can try inserting an effect like a compressor in the individual track and use its makeup gain for more gain, if Garage Band will let you. Garage Band does have limitations that go away when you step up to Logic Pro X. And Logic Pro X has a LOT more functionality.

Then maybe it’s a counterfeit. That might explain the poor performance.

Where did you buy it and how much did you pay for it?

The pad is on the microphone. In this case the 4035b.

Ryan, I have already provide the sensitivity of both mics for you. It’s time for you to do some of your pwn footwork about relative selfnoise.

and make sure you don’t have the pad turned on on the mics.

Ryan,

By chance, do you have the 10 dB pad engaged on the 4053b?

Hello Ryan, you don’t need ears to discover mic sensitivity. Just plug in both mics and set the input levels equally and watch the meters when you hold the mics together and speak into them. Or, as shown earlier, read the specs.

Preamps and mixers are all different. If preamp A is quieter than preamp B, you can turn it up more. At some point the noise of the mic comes into play. They call that selfnoise. Different mics have different selfnoise figures. The best options are sensitive mics with low selfnoise going into preamps with low noise.

Hello Ryan,

The sensitivity figure of microphone tells you what you need to know. Below notice the AT is -34 whole the NTG-3 is -30 or -31. The 34 is s larger number, but it’s a minus 34, so it’s not as great as a -30. The -30 mic will be a little more sensitive and require less preamp gain.

AT4053B: OPEN CIRCUIT SENSITIVITY -34 dB (19.9 mV) re 1V at 1 Pa

NTG-3: -30.0dB re 1 Volt/Pascal (31.60mV @ 94 dB SPL) +/- 2 dB @ 1kH
