Audacity

Make sure the switch is set to "mic/line" and not "guitar"
Your input level will be set by the "input L" or "input R" knob, depending on which side you are using. Start with them all the way down and then sing into the mic, turning them up until you get a signal about halfway up the bar in Cubase. That should give you plenty of headroom for clean vocals.
It may be difficult to get a good sound if you have one of those cheap mics that has a "1/4" jack instead of a 3-pin XLR jack. You might want to go to your local music/pro audio store and invest in a "condenser" microphone, which is good for vocals in the studio.

1. make sure your incoming signal is not too strong, this is i think the most common reason for clipping.
2. check the settings under audio performance in tascam control panel.. for vista click start> all programs > tascam> control panel> try changing the latency to normal or whatever works best with your system.
I never seem to have this problem anymore since I upgraded my desktop, with my slower system I had this problem all the time, so badly it was impossible to record an entire track.

my vocals are off beat when i record why is that.

i have the same probelm as da 1st guy,, when i record my vocals some how da beat sneaks into da mic too and fuccs it up.. seriously its ****

cheal faders balence on the mixer ect is that unit phantom powered ready also

if the multitrack doesnt have built in effects you need to but an extrenal vocal effects processor that you can wire up to it. try lexicon products, they offer really good realistic vocal effects rack units.

If you are trying to make your voice "fit in the music" better is there a sync button ? If it is the tone quailty as I was horrified at what I sounded like the first time I heard my self, then practice voice lessons and playback more practice. Remember to sing on the vowels.
